Course Description

CMOS technology continues to be the dominant technology for fabricating integrated circuits (ICs or chips). This course introduces students to the design of CMOS analog and digital integrated circuits. It covers the design, physical layout, and simulation of CMOS analog and digital integrated circuits. Design techniques are presented for the long and short-channel (nanometer) CMOS technologies. At first, MOSFET modeling, current mirrors, voltage and current references, differential amplifiers and op-amps are presented. The second section of the course is dedicated to the introduction of the inverter, static logic gates, and digital clocked circuits. The students will learn the methodologies to carry out Integrated Circuit design, and related computer-aided design (CAD) software tools (CADENCE).
