Course Description:
 
This course is intended to develop the ability in the students to analyze and design discrete and integrated analog electronic circuit. The topics includes: Bipolar and MOSFET operational amplifiers, current mirrors and output stages, frequency response and compensation, and brief overview of noise as well as A/D and D/A circuits. The main objective of this course is to provide the concepts of designing analog integrated circuits in the context of, both bipolar and CMOS technologies. To gain experience circuit design, the students will use EDA tools to design an analog circuit for a specific application.
