Advances in cloud computing, mobile devices and CMOS nanotechnology have ushered in the era of semiconductor IC design with multistandard challenges. Gain a competitive advantage by upgrading your problem-solving skills in these areas. This capstone design course is intended for those who have completed the other required courses for the Certificate Program in Semiconductor IC Design. Lecture topics include advanced microelectronic circuits and advanced analog ICs such as current mirrors, differential amplifiers, single-stage amplifiers, frequency response, low-frequency feedback, stability and frequency compensation, CMOS op amp, folded-cascode CMOS op amp, and rail-to-rail techniques. You also have the opportunity to work on an optional research project with an emphasis on analog ICs or mixed-signal design. The chosen research topic should be topical, practical and able to be implemented in numerous applications such as data acquisition and cloud computing systems.
Prerequisites:
You should have completed the following courses:
- Fundamental Analog ICs EL ENG X489
- IC Filters and Oscillators EL ENG X490
- Analog IC Design EL ENG X491
or possess working-level knowledge on analog and digital ICs, such as feedback, current mirrors, differential amplifiers, single-stage amplifiers, frequency response, class AB output stages, complimentary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) operational amplifier (OPAMP) design, and CMOS digital ICs.
