Analog and Mixed-Signal Circuit Design

What it is about

You will learn the fundamentals and design principles of integrated analog and mixed-signal circuits at the transistor level in CMOS technology. In the end you will be able to understand central analog basic circuits (amplifiers, comparators, references, clock generators, voltage regulators), set operating points, dimension simple circuits, and consider manufacturing aspects in the design.

What you will be able to do

Understand concepts and structures of integrated analog and mixed-signal circuits
Describe the relationships between specification, dimensioning and operating point
Master transistor-level simple integrated circuits (OpAmp, comparator, reference, clock generator, voltage regulator)
Independently design circuits, taking into account industrial manufacturing aspects
Recognize and compensate non-idealities (parasitics, temperature, supply fluctuations, process tolerances, noise)

What the module consists of

VorlesungTransmission of theoretical concepts with a short Q&A at the beginning
ÜbungWeekly practice problems for deepening understanding, common discussion in a separate practice session
