Course Objectives

This course covers the design fundamentals of analog VLSI circuits. The MOS transistor theory, CMOS technology are discussed. Then the design of current mirrors, differential amplifiers and operational amplifiers are covered. Design examples and simulation support the theory. Output stages is followed by switched capacitor circuits to design practical filters. Data converters and voltage reference circuits are also discussed. Project work will be complementing the theoretical knowledge given in the course.
