Inf3410 is an advanced course in analog and mixed-mode microelectronics (CMOS). The course is a combination of practical lab exercises with fundamental design and analysis of analog circuits. Low power techniques and fundamental CMOS amplifier design is emphasized. Continuous time circuits like analog filters in a mixed-mode environment are treated. Interface problems for real-time analog control and measurements are treated. Students which have taken the course should be trained for real-world design of CMOS analog microelectronics. The course will also give fundamental insight for digital designer and give understanding in scaling problems of modern fine pitch technology.
The course is a one term course with a total of 30 lectures. Three mandatory lab exercises are required. These exercises are a mix of theory, simulations and measurements and are carried out by a group of maximum 2 students. The mandatory labs must be delivered and passed within the scheduled deadline. Labs from earlier courses are not accepted.
