Course/Module description:
The course equips students with the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for designing integrated circuits, particularly advanced analog circuits using CMOS technology. Students will delve into the unique considerations and characteristics that shape the design of such circuits on silicon chips (VLSI). A substantial portion of the course will focus on gaining hands-on experience with the various circuit design processes that serve as building blocks and subsystems in the implementation of advanced analog circuits.
Students will have the opportunity to plan and execute a limited engineering project from its initial definition to its final realization.
