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.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • be able to analyze the current mirrors constructed with MOS transistors,
  • be able to Analyze the differential and operational amplifiers,
  • do design of the operational amplifier circuits and do the compensation of these circuits
  • do the design and analysis of output stages
  • be able to analyze the filter circuits having switched capacitors,
  • be able to design and analize the data converters,
  • do the analysis of voltage reference circiuts,
  • be able to design VLSI circuits using design software and do the simulations
