چکیده
We present the structure of an analog integrated circuit design laboratory to instruct at both, senior undergraduate and entry graduate levels. The teaching material includes: a laboratory manual with analog circuit design theory, pre-laboratory exercises and circuit design specifications; a reference web page with step by step instructions and examples; the use of mathematical tools for automation and analysis; and state of the art CAD design tools in use by industry. Upon completion of the course, the students have skills for an entry level analog designer position.

متن کاملDevelopment of a 2-Digit Multi Valued Analog-To-Digital Converter
A 2-digit higher radix analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit consisting of a combination of a pipelined ADC and a set of cascaded current comparator cell has been proposed. The ADC generates multi-valued logic outputs rather than the conventional binary output system. The design is implemented using 0.25μm CMOS process. The performance analysis of the design shows desirable performance para...

متن کاملAnalog Integrated Circuit Design and Testing Using the Field Programmable Analog Array Technology
Due to their reliability, performance and rapid prototyping, programmable logic devices overcome the use of ASICs in the digital system design. However, the similar solution for analog signals was not so easy to find. But the evolutionary trend in Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits technologies fuelled by fierce industrial competition to reduce integrated circuits (ICs) cost and time t...
متن کاملA Design Path for Optimization-based Analog Circuit Design
In this paper we propose a design path for optimization-based device sizing of analog circuits. The design path offers an efficient and reliable way to implement high-performance analog integrated circuits without the explicit knowledge of an experienced designer. A key feature is that the partial cost functions are generated directly from the circuit topology. To demonstrate the functionality ...
