Overview
Both courses include an introduction to the use of
computer-aided design for modelling, simulating, and
designing the circuits discussed in class:
– ECE 445 Integrated Digital Electronics includes CMOS device
modelling, logic styles for power and performance, flip-flops,
arithmetic circuits, clocking and timing considerations
– ECE 444 Integrated Analog Electronics includes amplifier
frequency response, feedback and compensation, biasing
techniques and selected topic such as A/D converters and PLLs

Which Courses to Take?
4A: ECE 445 Integrated Digital Electronics
Review of the MOS transistor: Static and dynamic behavior, short channel
effects, scaling trends, SPICE models. CMOS inverter; combinational CMOS
circuit design - logic styles for low power, high performance circuits; sequential
CMOS circuit design - flip-flops, pipelines, Schmitt trigger; CMOS arithmetic
circuits; interconnect parasitic; clocking & timing considerations in digital VLSIs.
4B: ECE 444 Integrated Analog Electronics
Analog electronics exploits the physical behaviour of electronic devices to
create electronic systems. The performance of single and multiple transistor
amplifying stages are studied. Followed by a study of biasing, current mirror
and output stages, which are then combined in the study of operational
amplifier circuits. Frequency response and feedback are then reviewed leading
to a detailed study of stability and compensation for multistage and operational
amplifiers. The course finishes with a look at selected topics from A/D
converters, oscillators and phase-locked loops.
