ECE532

Design and layout of CMOS analog integrated circuits. Qualitative review of the theory of pn junctions, bipolar and MOS devices, large and small signal models. Emphasis on MOS technology. Continuous time op amps. Frequency response, stability, and compensation. Complex analog subsystems including phase-locked loops, A/D and D/A converters, switched capacitor simulation, layout, extraction, verification, MATLAB modeling. Projects make extensive use of full custom VLSI CAD software. Prerequisite: [(ECE 330L or 331L) & ECE 230L, 250D, 270DL & 280L and (Math 353 or 356) and (Math 230, 231, 340 or ECE 555 or STA 240L or EGR 238L) & Physics 152L & Chemistry 101DL] or a graduate student standing.
