Course Description
 | Advanced Analogue IC Design - Part II |
Date: from 9 Sep 2008 to 11 Sep 2008
3 day(s)
English Limerick, Ireland
1300,00 EURO 1200e for groups of 3 or more; 1100e 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.
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.
The original highly acclaimed Advanced Analogue IC Design course was run over 5 days. Following consultation with industry it was decided to modify the emphasis slightly and present the course in two separate parts, each lasting 3 days. The benefits of this format are:
1) Industrial delegates need only be absent for 3 consecutive days rather than 5.
2) The extra day facilitates a slightly more in-depth treatment of the subject material without having to rush the presentation.
Each day consists of four ninety-minute lectures. Occasionally one of the modules may be replaced by exercises. The material is largely taken from Prof. Sansen`s most recent text, Analog Design Essentials, (Springer, 2006).
Course Content:
Day 1:
- Feedback transconductance and voltage amplifiers
- Feedback transimpedance and current amplifiers
- Offset and CMRR; random and systematic
- Bandgap and current reference circuits
Day 2:
- Switched-capacitor filters
- Distortion in elementary transistor circuits
- Continuous-Time Filters
- ADC and DAC principles
Day 3:
- Low-power Sigma-Delta AD converters
- Design of crystal oscillators and VCO`s
- Design of LNA`s
- Coupling in mixed-signal circuits

Willy Sansen is a professor at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. He has a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley and has been visiting professor at the universities of Stanford, Lausanne and Philadelphia.
Prof. Sansen has been the head of the ESAT-MICAS laboratory on analog design since 1984. He is cofounder of the workshops on Advances in Analog Circuit Design in Europe, and in 2002 he was the Program Chair of the ISSCC Conference.
His research is on design automation and on analogue integrated circuit designs for telecom, consumer electronics, medical applications and sensors, and he has supervised over 40 Ph.D theses in these fields. He has authored and co-authored over 550 papers and 11 books, including Design of Analog Integrated Circuits and Systems (MacGrawHill 1994), and the book Analog Design Essentials (Springer, 2006), which will be distributed to all delegates as part of the notes for this course.
