Course content

ESD protection circuits, integrated sensors, switched-capacitance circuits, low-power analog to digital converters, radio receievers, voltage references, current references, linear regulators, DC/DC regulators, phase locked loops, frequency locked loops, delay locked loops, power-on-reset circuits. Use of professional tools for analog/digital design of integrated circuits.

Learning outcome

The course aims to provide a thorough understanding of design of advanced integrated circuits in CMOS, and an overview of the circuits needed to make a System-On-Chip.

Knowledge:

  • in-depth understanding of the theoretical framework for design of advanced analog integrated circuits in-depth understanding of the circuit components in advanced integrated circuits, and their design detailed knowledge and experience of all tools necessary to design advanced integrated circuits

Skills:

  • combine earlier acquired knowledge and skills in physics, math and electronics together with new theory to solve real world challenges with advanced integrated circuits
  • use professional software tools for design of advanced integrated circuits
  • design advanced integrated circuits combining sensors, radio circuits, analog front ends, power management and clock generation.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures. Assignments, both theoretical and computer based. The course may be held in English.

Further on evaluation

Written exam. Grading with letters. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
