Learn how to analyze, simulate and design CMOS analog integrated circuits. This course is ideal if you are a working professional who has no strong foundation in analog design but are interested in upgrading your knowledge and skills or developing your semiconductor career. Lectures topics include basic current mirrors, high-performance current mirrors, single-stage CMOS amplifiers, differential amplifiers, output stages and short-circuit protection circuitry. As a part of the course curriculum, you have the opportunity to work on a research project with an emphasis on sample-and-holds or bandgap voltage reference. Your research topic must be topical, practical and able to be be implemented in many applications such as data acquisition or A/D conversion systems.
