Course Description
 | Advanced Analogue IC Design |
Date: from 27 Jan 2003 to 31 Jan 2003
5 day(s)
English Meylan, Grenoble France
1375,00 EURO 1100 for Academics
This course is aimed at designers of analogue circuits who have already some experience. It focuses on a systematic approach to design tasks. It handles both MOST and bipolar technologies in parallel and it includes many second-order effects such as CMRR, etc.
At the end of this course, delegates who already have a solid knowledge of the fundamentals of Analogue IC Design, should be capable of carrying out high-level circuit design, using the most advanced techniques applicable to key circuit elements such as operational amplifier, filter and converter design.
Course Format:
The course lasts five days, with four ninety-minute lectures per day. Occasionally one of the modules may be replaced by exercises. Most of the material is taken from the Laker-Sansen book, Design of Analog Integrated Circuits and Systems, (McGraw-Hill, 1994).
Course Content:
Day 1:
Comparison of models for the Bipolar and MOST devices
Analysis of elementary building blocks
Noise models of bipolar & MOST devices and elem. building blocks
Exercises: design examples
Day 2:
Stability of operational amplifiers
Systematic design of operational amplifiers
Other opamp configurations: symmetric, folded, etc...
Exercices: design examples
Day 3:
Rail-to-Rail operational amplifiers
Matching and CMRR; random and systematic
Compensation techniques (Nested Miller), feedforward for high speed.
Power Supply Rejection Ration and analog-digital coupling effects
Day 4:
Class AB amplifiers
SC-filters: introduction, technology
SC-filters: switched opamp for low voltage realisations
Switched current and continuous-time filters
Day 5:
Sigma-Delta AD converters: principles
Low-power Sigma-Delta AD converters
Crystal Oscillators: design principles
Single-Chip communication systems: an overview
