This course provides the necessary systematic approach methodology in generic analog IC designs. The topics covered include the technique in a systematic method in analyzing and designing the amplifiers and opamps, such as using the scaled current and multiplier techniques, the impedance rules-of-thumb, and layout-oriented amplifier design techniques. Advanced layout techniques in detail, the analog IC simulations methodology, etc., will be covered. Project-based evaluations will be the primary assessments of the students’ performance.

CILO-1: Recognize the systematic design approach on how to design amplifiers and opamps. CILO-2: Explain the theories for simulations. CILO-3: Implement master a practical circuit design project.
