Course Description

Architectural and circuit level design and analysis of integrated analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog interfaces in modern CMOS and BiCMOS VLSI technology. Analog-digital converters: Nyquist and over-sampled, digital-analog converters, sample/hold amplifiers, continuous-time and switched-capacitor filters. Low power mixed signal design techniques. Data communication systems including interface circuitry. CAD tools for analog design for simulation and synthesis.

CAD Tools
  • Hspice or Spectre
  • Matlab
Announcements
  • Class notes will be posted in the section titled "Lecture Notes" prior to each class.
  • Lecture 24 notes available in Lectures section.
  • Homework #7 is posted and is due Nov. 23rd. Note: Problem 1. part m) assume Vref=1V.
  • Midterm exam solution posted.
  • Term project is posted in the homework section, report due Dec. 3rd or sooner, 5min presentation on Dec. 8th class per student.
  • Update(1) to the project: If you are using capacitors, assume Cs can be matched to better than 0.2% by choosing minimum unit C > or = 0.1pF. Please simulate the dynamic power dissipation and add it to static power dissipation. Report both contributions as well as the total power dissipation.
  • Office hour on 11/25 cancelled instead office hour 1to2pm 11/24 added.
