Course Objectives

The objective of this course is to provide a background to EE undergraduate students for the design and analysis of analog integrated circuits.  One major component of many of today’s analog electronic systems is the operational amplifier.  The op-amp is used as a circuit block in systems such as analog-digital and digital-analog converters, switched-capacitor systems, signal processing systems, integrated circuit filters, and many systems where amplification of input signals is needed.  Therefore, the course will mainly focus on providing students a thorough knowledge of the design and analysis of various operational amplifier topologies together with biasing circuits and stability analysis.  In addition, the course will also cover differential and regenerative comparator topologies implemented in CMOS technology.  The goal is for students to be familiar with analog integrated circuit techniques (and a few specific examples), so that they can learn more about other applications on their own as the need arises in their careers.
