Content

In this project, the students will design and layout various analog modules in an advanced sub-micron CMOS technology. The combination of the realized modules is integrated into a toplevel design. The students will operate the industry standard Cadence Design Environment. 
This course is intended to provide hands-on design experience of modern CMOS analog circuit and systems.

Planned module contents

• Design of Biasing Networks
• Design of multistage Differential Amplifier
• Design of high-speed comparators
• Design of a Switched Capacitor Integrator
• Design of an Analog-Digital-Converter
• Toplevel design
• Layout of the modules

IMPORTANT!

This project is intended for students with background in Analog CMOS Circuit Design.
Very good result in the exam "Integrated Analog Circuits / Integrierte Analogschaltungen" or similar proven experience in analog CMOS design is mandatory.

Attendance to all lab sessions is mandatory!
