NEEI-6332 Advanced Analog Integrated Circuits (IC 771)

 



Instructor - Ali M. Niknejad, University of California, Berkeley

3 Semester Credit Hours

 

Course Description

 

This course is an advanced analog integrated circuits class. While basic theory is covered/reviewed during the class, emphasis is placed on practical design issues that face today's analog design engineers. The Gray & Meyer text forms the nucleus of the course content, with additional material added, drawn primarily from journal papers, to demonstrate advanced and innovative design techniques.

 

Prerequisites

 

Undergraduate analog IC class, or equivalent experience. UC BERKELEY faculty STRONGLY urge students to take IC 570CA (UCB number EECS 140). It is the official prerequisite for this course for all Berkeley graduate students who are preparing for a career in IC analog design.

 

Course Objectives

 

The goal of this course is to provide the student with a working repertoire of dynamic design techniques. In the process, the student is helped to hone and develop the fundamental analyses skills so necessary for engineering design success.

 

Course Topics

 

Analysis and optimized design of monolithic operational amplifiers and wide-band amplifiers; methods of achieving wide-band amplification, gain-bandwidth considerations; analysis of noise in integrated circuits and low noise design. Precision passive elements, analog switches, amplifiers and comparators, voltage reference in CMOS circuits. Nonidealities: noise, matching, supply/io/substrate coupling.

 

Textbook

 

Required: Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits, Gray, Hurst, Lewis and Meyer, Wiley, 4th edition, 2001, ISBN 0471321680.
