Abstracts
|
Introduction to Analog Design |
||
|
Basic Elements Review of Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors, Voltage/Current (independent and dependent) sources, Thevenin/Norton Equivalence, and input/output impedances. |
||
|
MOSFET Large Signal Modelling After an introduction to MOSFET transistors, the non-linear current/voltage relationships will be discussed along with dc bias analysis. |
||
|
MOSFET Small Signal Modelling Small signal modelling and analysis are used to find the linearized gain and input/output impedances of non-linear MOSFET circuits. We will also look at analysis methods to reduce the need for drawing the small signal model. |
||
|
LTSpice Simulation A demo of a popular circuit simulation software (it is free!) with example simulations. |
||
|
Gain Circuits Topics discussed are transistor amps with resistive and active loads. Also, cascode amplifiers will be discussed. |
||
|
Current Mirrors Topics include basic and wide-swing cascode current mirrors. We will also look at the need for current biasing between different analog blocks on a chip. |
||
|
Diff Amps A/B Topics include the need for diff signals, MOSFET diff pair, balanced vs unbalanced analysis, common-mode and diff signals, CMRR. |
||
|
Frequency Response A/B We start with a basic review of frequency analysis, transfer-functions, the need for complex variables. We then look at the low frequency and high frequency cutoff of circuits. We also look at transistor modelling with capacitors and the transistor unity gain frequency. |
