ELE 614

This course deals with the fundamentals of CMOS analog integrated circuits. The major topics include the characterization of analog integrated circuits in frequency and time domains (noise, distortion, and slew rate), the building blocks of CMOS analog integrated circuits including common-source, common-drain, common-gate, cascade, and differential-pair amplifiers, the mismatches of differential-pair amplifiers and offset voltage compensation techniques, common-mode feedback, voltage reference circuits, voltage operational amplifiers, voltage comparators, and voltage-controlled oscillators (ring, LC, relaxation oscillators).
