This course introduces the basic analog building blocks and quantifies their performance parameters. More advanced circuits are derived from these basic building blocks. Concepts of feedback and stability are introduced to enable analysis of complex circuits. The course also includes a self-learning lab component in which the students are expected to learn circuit simulation and design tools such as LTSpice, Eldo, Cadence Analog Suite etc. A design project is an essential component of this course.
1. Students are able to analyze CMOS active circuits.
2. Students are able to analyze circuits such as Current Mirror, Linear Amplifier, Differential Amplifier, Power Amplifier etc.
3. Students are able to acquire the ability to solve, analyze, design, and simulate moderately complex MOS based circuits.
4. Students are able to use standard commercial tools such as ELDO and Cadence Suite.
