  • Graduate Courses – (also outstanding Undergrad students)
  • 8361101 – Intro to Analog Circuits – semester B
    • This is a follow up course to the linear circuit lectures and lab. This introduces the students to more complex analog circuits and gives some experience in design and simulations as well. Topics include CMOS inverter based analog circuits, amplifier compensation, random and systematic offsets, offset compensation, comparators, Bandgap references, Noise.  It includes several design exercises as well as a design project.
  • 8362101– Advanced Analog Circuit in Digital Processes – semester A
    • This course includes the analog circuits which are found in almost every digital product including biasing circuits, Voltage controlled oscillators, Phase-Locked Loops – both analog and digital, Linear Voltage Regulators, and Thermal Sensors. The course includes design assignments as well as a personal project.
  • 83608-01– Advanced Energy Efficient Analog– semester A
    • This advanced course focuses on analog circuits which are optimized for energy efficiency. The circuits covered include switched-capacitor circuits – including Z-transforms, digital to analog converters (D/A), analog to digital converters (A/D), inductive switching regulators, switch-capacitor DC-to-DC converters, and crystal oscillators. There are 5 short design assignments and a personal project
