Analog IC Design

The objective of the course is for students to learn to design and analyze CMOS-based analog
integrated circuits (ICs).

Topics covered:

1. solid-state device physics
2. IC fabrication
3. layout
4. single-stage amplifiers
5. noise
6. current mirrors
7. reference circuits
8. opamps

Mixed-Signal IC Design

The objective of the course is for students to learn to design and analyze data converter and
discrete-time circuits. This course builds upon the knowledge and skills gained in the Analog IC Design course

Topics covered:

1. sampling
2. data converter fundamentals
3. digital-to-analog converters (resistor, capacitor and current based)
4. Nyquist-rate analog-to-digital converters (integrating, successive approximation
   algorithmic, pipeline, flash, incremental)
5. oversampling sigma-delta converters
6. testing of data converters
7. digital correction

Logic Design

This is the classic sophomore-level introduction to logic design class.
Student learning is assessed through weekly homework, two-midterm exams and a final exam.

Topics covered:

1. numerical systems
2. combinational logic circuits
3. logic minimization techniques
4. logic design using ROM, PLA, PAL/li>
5. design of sequential circuits
6. state machine design
7. digital systems design
