Office Hours: Tu Th noon-1pm

Required Text:
Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits, Gray, Hurst, Lewis, and Meyer, 5th Edition, John Wiley & Sons, 2009.

Reference Texts:
  1. Analog Integrated Circuit Design, Carusone, Johns and Martin, John Wiley & Sons, 2012.
  2. Design of Analog Integrated Circuits, Razavi, McGraw-Hill, 2001.
  3. Analog MOS Integrated Circuits for Signal Processing, Gregorian and Temes, John Wiley & Sons, 1986.

Prerequisites:
EEC 110B and 140A


Objectives:
This course concentrates on analog circuits using CMOS technologies. After taking this course, a student should understand:
  1. Models for CMOS devices
  2. CMOS amplifier and reference circuits
  3. Compensation techniques for amplifiers
  4. Simple noise-analysis techniques for CMOS amplifiers
  5. The use of the SPICE circuit-simulation program

Grading:
There will be about nine homework assignments, one design project (for 210 but not 189), one midterm exam, and one final exam. The midterm exam date will be announced about 2 weeks before the exam. The final exam will be held on Wed., 12/12 from 1:00pm-3:00pm. The weighting used for the final course grade will be:

                        210       189
                       -----     -----
         Homework       12%       15%
         Project        13%        0%
         Midterm Exam   30%       35%
         Final Exam     45%       50%
