Course code: EEE - 333 (3+1)
Prerequisites:
1) Digital Logic Design (EEE 241)
2) Electronics I (EEE 231).
3) Electronics II (EEE 232).

Course Catalog Description:

This course is intended to give knowledge and experience in design of analog integrated
circuits (such as amplifiers) for system-on-chip in nano-scale CMOS technologies. In
addition, the course gives a detailed introduction to interconnect design as well as circuit
techniques for on-chip timing, synchronization, and clock generation.
This course deals with the fundamentals of CMOS analog integrated circuits. The major
topics include the characterization of analog integrated circuits in frequency and time
domains (noise, distortion, and slew rate). The building blocks of CMOS analog integrated
circuits including common-source, common-drain, common-gate, cascade, and
differential-pair amplifiers, the mismatches of differential-pair amplifiers and offset
voltage compensation techniques, common-mode feedback, voltage reference circuits,
voltage operational amplifiers, voltage comparators, current mirrors and voltage-controlled
oscillators (ring, LC, relaxation oscillators).

Course Learning Objective:
The course will focus on the following topics:

 Small and large signal models for analysis of analog integrated circuits.
 Design, analysis, and evaluation of analog CMOS integrated circuits. As a

representative benchmark, various types of amplifiers, current sources, current
mirrors, voltage controlled oscillators, and other versatile circuit building blocks
will be studied. The circuit analyses will take into account non-ideal effects such as
noise and variations in process parameters, supply voltages, and temperature.

 Use of professional circuit simulators in Laboratory like Cadence for design,
analysis, and evaluation of integrated circuits.
 Modeling and design of interconnects. Particularly, studies on transmission lines

for high-speed on-chip and off-chip communications.
 On-chip timing and synchronization techniques, including studies on clock- and

data-recovery circuits and systems such as phase- and delay-locked-loops.
Course Learning Outcomes:
The learning outcomes for this course are as follows. After successfully completing the
course, the students will be able to:
1. Describe physics of MOSFET’s needed for a basic analog design, by developing

simplified models to know underlying operations. (C2-PLO1)
2. Analyze low-frequency characteristics of single-stage amplifiers and differential

amplifiers. Have indebt knowledge and skill in analysis, design, and evaluation of
analog integrated circuits such as amplifier, current sources and current mirrors.
(C4-PLO2)
3. Employ small and large signal models for analysis of analog integrated circuits
such as amplifier, current sources and current mirrors. (C3-PLO2)
4. Investigate high-frequency response of amplifiers, differential amplifiers and

current mirrors. Analyze the limitations of frequency response. (C4-PLO3).
