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.
