further specific details regarding the course.

Course No. : MEL G632

Course Title: Analog IC Design (5 unit)
Instructor-in-Charge: DIPANKAR Pal

1. Scope and Objective of the Course:

This course aims at thorough understanding of the behavior of analog circuits and systems. It
focuses on basic concepts in analog IC design; different design techniques for analog and mixed-
signal VLSI-circuits like operational amplifiers, transconductance amplifiers, advanced biasing
circuits, switched capacitor circuits with in depth understanding of linear building blocks like
differential amplifiers, current mirrors, references, comparators, cascode and buffer amplifiers.
Performance characterization and improvement of linear integrated circuits in terms of PSRR,
CMRR, slew rate, offset, noise, sensitivity and stability are also included. Simulation of high-
performance linear integrated systems and layout considerations thereof using powerful EDA
tools like Cadence is also stressed upon.
