Course Resume
The course starts with an overview of operational amplifier imperfections and an
introduction of bipolar and CMOS technologies, open-loop gain, negative and positive feedback,
offset, drift, temperature dependence, and tolerances. Next, using transistor models and a
standard two-stage CMOS op-amp as an example, the course covers fundamentals of DC biasing
techniques including current mirrors, supply and temperature independent biasing and bandgap
references, differential amplifiers, active loading, device high-frequency models, small-signal
analysis and design of frequency responses, slew-rate limitations, and feedback. Spice
simulations are used throughout the course. Several design exercises covering example designs
(e.g. bandgap reference, op-amp, linear voltage regulator, pulse-width modulator, PWM
controller) are performed in detail.
Pre-requirements
Physics; Electricity and Magnetism; Differential Equations.
Course Objectives
The aim of this coursecovers the fundamentals of transistor-level analog integrated circuit
design. Basic knowledge of semiconductor devices, bipolar and CMOS small-signal and
large-signal models, as well as analysis of microelectronic circuits is assumed. Starting from this
background, the course objectives are to introduce principles of analog integrated-circuit
