Review of MOSFET device modeling (chapter 1)
Review of basic current mirrors and single-stage amplifiers (chapter 3)
Basic opamp design and compensation (chapter 5)
Advanced current mirrors and opamps (chapter 6)
Comparators (chapter 7)
Sample-and-hold circuits (chapter 8)
Data converter fundamentals (chapter 11)
Nyquist-rate D/A converters (chapter 12)

7. Labs
This course is supplemented by biweekly laboratory design projects, beginning the week of Jan
12th. The purpose of these lab projects is for students to gain practical skills in the design of some
of the circuits and systems covered by the course. Most of the projects utilize CMOS transistor
banks such as 4007 and include:
• Quantitative design
• SPICE simulation
• Board-level prototyping (by soldering or wire-wrapping)
• Experimental characterization

Why Analog?
• Digital electronics:
– High precision
• incensitive to process variations, supply voltage change,
temerature, interference, and aging
– Programmability/configurability
• DSP algorithms can be changed easily in software
Analog circuits could seem obsolete, but analog
circuit designers are in demand. Why?

Why Integrated?
• Huge numbers of components driven by
functionality demands
– Memory chips: billions of transistors
– Microprocessor: tens of millions of devices
• Moore’s law: number of transistors doubles every
1.5 years

Why CMOS?
• Pros
– Can implement both analog and digital circuits
• Mixed-signal design
– Low cost
– Only dynamic power dissipation in digital circuits
– Continued scaling
• Cons
– Slower than BJTs
– Noisier than BJTs
