Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

To understand the basic building blocks of analog integrated circuits. To understand the large and small signal transistor models, learn to design analog integrated circuits and to analyse them. Learn to design an operational amplifier with CMOS technology using the CAD design tools.
