| Course description | This module is a general introduction to analogue integrated circuit design. It will cover the following areas:
* use of IDS equations in circuit calculations;
* use of large signal models to calculate and design transistor biasing;
* use of small signal models to calculate gain-bandwidth, transfer functions;
* the operation & use of analogue circuit building blocks;
- current sources/sinks
- simple amplifiers
- differential stages
- output stages
- basic op-amp design
- gain and phase margin, stability, compensation
- more advanced op-amp concepts
- digital to analogue, and analogue to digital, converters
* use of SPICE to simulate MOS circuits;
* types of analysis available in SPICE, starting with level 1 MOSFET models and moving to BSIM3v3 models;
* use of SPICE to investigate the effects on performance caused by component variation, process variation, temperature changes, etc.
* parasitic components and their importance for circuit modelling;
* sources of noise and distortion in MOS analogue circuits;

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
| Students will be familiar with the details of MOS transistors that are relevant to analogue IC design. They will be familiar with basic analogue circuits. They will be aware how fabrication techniques and processes affect transistor behaviour. They will be able to simulate small analogue circuits and be able to relate the results back to the process and the circuit topology. |
