The Purpose of This Class
 Basics about Analog Design
 As compared with digital design
 Knowledge-wise, to design a ‘closerto-real’ amplifier
 You’ve learned using ideal-operationalamplifier （理想运算放大器）
 What are the properties of an ‘real’
amplifier?
 Learn about those non-idealities
 How to make non-ideal close to ideal?
 Learn how to construct an operational
amplifier using transistors that can
satisfy your requirements
 How to analyze problems and apply
your knowledge to solve them

Grading Policy
 Home Assignments (20%)
 Class assignments
 Design and hand analysis oriented
 lab assignments
 Simulation is important
 Attendance at lab counts
 No late work accepted
 Midterm Exam (30%)
 Close book test but one piece of “cheat” sheet (maximum size= A4)
allowed
 Class Projects (50%)




project1, current mirror
project2, opamp
Write the report and show the simulation to the TAs
The whole class will be sorted with Figure of Merit and graded
accordingly

How to Survive this Class?!
Study Hard!




It is an important course, one of the most important in SoME
It is a difficult course, one of the most difficult course in SoME
It is an interesting topic, one of the most interesting topic in IC
It is a useful, THE most useful one in IC
Study smart!
• It is a hands-on class
• Practice (homework, simulations)
• I hear it, I forget; I see it, I remember; I do it, I understand
• Not a course to be self-learned Learn from experienced
• Ask whenever you have questions
• Professor is paid from your tuition
• TAs are paid from your tuition
• Don’t sleep if you have some questions unanswered
I-9
Rules are just rules ...
 What is YOUR purpose?
 Turn off cell phones
 Definitely OK for now showup
 Read widely and think deeply
