Integrated Analog Circuits

This course is intended to establish a basic understanding of integrated analog circuits. After a short review of technology and devices, the course will focus on the design and analysis of integrated analog circuits. This starts with a the functionality of the MOS and bipolar transistors, followed by basic models, that describe their large and small signal behavior. Based on this knowledge, fundamental amplifier circuits will be developed, single- and multistage differential amplifiers are analyized, and the source of electronic noise will be described. Noise cancellation concepts will be introduced.

The lecture is finalized with the introduction of further applications of integrated, analog circuits, which will include switched-capacitor circuits for analog signal processing as well as data converters.
