Guidelines:

Deadline for the submission of each paper exercise is 15 minutes before the beginning of the next exercise session, unless otherwise noted. See section Time Schedule.
You may collaborate in solving the exercises, but each student must write his/her answer and justifications in his/her own words. Copy-paste errors are a big minus.
Write your name and student number in the top of the first page of the submitted pdf.
The only accepted file format is pdf. Submit only one single file per exercise. The maximum allowed file size is 5 Mb.
Name your file like this: surname_firstname_exercise_X.pdf (e.g. einstein_albert_exercise_3.pdf, X = ordinal of the exercise)
Matlab or any other code is not considered as derivation nor justification
Take care of the clarity of your submission. Any unreadable or otherwise unclear parts of the submission are interpreted as erroneous.

Assistance:

Attend exercise sessions.
During exercise introduction sessions, an assistant introduces a paper exercise and gives tips for solving it.
During exercise solution sessions, an assistant presents the solution of the paper exercise.
During CAD sessions, assistants will be present to help you out with CAD problems.
Post your question in General discussion forum and consult the questions made by other students in that forum. Note that assistants answer your posted questions with a (significant) delay.
No exercise assistance is provided through email.

Paper exercise grading:

Each paper exercise is graded gradually from 0.0 to 2.0 points.
8 paper exercises -> maximum total score from paper exercises is 8 * 2.0 = 16.0 points.
Late submissions of Paper excises will be graded as 0 (zero) because solutions will be provide right after deadline.
Re-submissions before the deadline will not reduce your points.

CAD exercise grading:

Each CAD exercise is graded gradually from 0.0 to 6.0 points.
2 CAD exercises -> maximum total score from CAD exercises is 2 * 6.0 = 12.0 points.
2.0 points will be deducted for late submission. Deadline for late submission of CAD exercises is a week after the the deadline of CAD-II submission which will be Wednesday, 15 June, 12:00 AM.
Re-submissions before the deadline will not reduce your points.

Important notice (overall grading):

The weights of course lecture examination and exercise points are as follows: lecture examinations 30%, paper exercises 40%, and CAD-exercises 30%.

Paper exercises:

Exercise 1: Switched-capacitor integrator
Exercise 2: Design of switched-capacitor biquad
Exercise 3: Bilinear transformation in SC-biquad
Exercise 4: Switched-capacitor ladder filter
Exercise 5: Transconductance-capacitor filter
Exercise 6: Digital-to-analog converter
Exercise 7: Pipeline analog-to-digital converter
Exercise 8: Oversampling analog-to-digital converters

CAD exercises:

CAD 1: Switched-capacitor filter
CAD 2: Analog-to-digital converter

NB! In order to run the necessary simulations in CAD exercises, you need to have a vspace account. Everyone who has taken ELEC-E3510 Basics of IC Design should have the accounts available. If you don't have the account, you should apply for it through the form in: https://bubba.ecdl.hut.fi/forms. The jobtitle is "Student" and application type "Apply for Computer user account".
