EEEN40570 Analogue Integrated Circuits

Academic Year 2023/2024

Analysis and simulation of elementary transistor stages, current mirrors, operational amplifiers, supply- and temperature-independent bias, and reference circuits. Overview of integrated circuit technologies, circuit components, component variations and practical design paradigms. Differential circuits, frequency response, and feedback will also be covered. Performance evaluation using computer-aided design tools.
WARNING: This is a Masters' level module and a lot of independent work will be expected!
