What it is about
You design and verify at transistor level an integrated mixed-signal circuit or small system (simple A/D or D/A converter) based on a given architecture and prior laboratory work. In the end you can transfer a system-level design into transistor-based circuit design, measure circuit function and performance, and evaluate non-ideal effects.
What you will be able to do
- Transistor-level design of integrated mixed-signal circuits
- Verification of circuit function and performance under real conditions
- Transition from system- to transistor-level implementation
- Selection and reuse of suitable circuit blocks
- Application of specialized design software
What the module consists of
- Praktikum/LaborSetup, implementation and verification of an A/D or D/A converter; measurement and evaluation of the circuit performance
- Gruppenarbeit/PräsentationDeepening of the results through joint presentation and discussion
- Dokumentation/ReportWritten elaboration of design decisions and measurement results
Teaching method
- LaborversuchPractically oriented implementation and verification of circuits
- GruppenarbeitCooperative handling of design and measurements
- Softwaregestütztes Design (Matlab, Cadence)Design, simulation and verification at system- and transistor-level
