Analog circuits are increasingly part of larger chips containing both analog and digital circuits. In this course, we look at the architecture of these chips, the representation of signals in the analog and digital domain, filtering, conversion with analog/digital and digital/analog converters. Constraints such as maximum signal handling capability, electronic noise, frequency limitations, and tradeoffs among these factors are discussed. Variety of communication systems utilizing analog-digital interface circuitry is covered. The key concepts discussed in the course are:
Areas of discussion:
The simulation tools used are SPICE (Hspice, Spectre) and Matlab . This course complements EECS 240, a transistor level mixed circuits course that can be taken either after or before EECS 247.
A basic course in signal processing (
No single book covers all the topics addressed in this course. The texts listed below expand on the subjects covered. None is required, though a good subset will probably, help you substantially should you choose a career in mixed signal design.
Library reserve list (UCB Engineering Library)
During the course, reading material from IEEE publications namely, Journal of Solid States Circuit will be assigned. Students are expected to obtain the material to study.
Homework 50%, midterm 20%, final 30%.
Homework and exams will be returned in class. Submitting homeworks and taking exams are mandatory to pass the class.
