ECEN 5837 - Mixed-Signal IC Design
3 credit hours
Catalog Description:
(1) Design of core analog circuits in mixed analog and digital systems,
including data converters and sampled-data circuitry, and (2) system
level IC design methodologies and CAD based circuit design and layout
techniques in mixed analog and digital IC's.
Prerequisite:
ECEN 5827, Analog IC Design
Textbook:
Allen and Holberg, CMOS Analog Circuit Design, Oxford, 2002.
Course objectives:
This course is the second in a two-course series (the first course
is ECEN 5827) on integrated
circuit design, which together provide a complete set of fundamental
concepts and skills for the growing number of students who wish to
pursue a career in the semiconductory industry.
Graduate students who wish to specialize in research projects related
to IC design and power electronics will be required to take both courses
in the sequence.
Topics:
- Fully-differential op-amsp, simulation and layout
- Comparators
- Switched capacitor circuits
- Nyquist rate DAC
- Nyquist rate ADC
- Over-sampling converters
Class schedule:
3 hours of lecture per week
