Course description |
This course will extend the student's knowledge of analogue integrated circuit design to a variety of common blocks found in mixed-signal systems.
1.To extend the student's proficiency and understanding of the design flow for a nalogue and mixed-signal circuits using industry-standard computer-aided design tools.
2.To advance design knowledge of common analogue circuits used within mixed-sign al systems.
3.To carry out a design project of an integrated circuit block from specifications to layout and verification using state-of-the-art CAD tools.
This course will prepare the student for work within a design team involving interaction between analogue and digital design engineers. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Students should:
1. Be familiar of a variety of building blocks and architectures found in mixed-signal integrated circuits such as ADC and DACs.
2. Be able to follow a computer-aided design flow for mixed-signal integrated circuits using industry-standard design tools
3. Be able to design, layout and verify analogue sub-blocks from the specification of a simple mixed-signal system.
