Learning outcomes of the course unit
Student will gain knowledge about the latest perspective trends in integrated circuits technique which is in the foreground of interest in research and applications. New circuit principles give a possibility to obtain better parameters of ICs by a circuit solution in the given technology.
The student is able to:
- describe the basic steps in the design process of integrated circuit,
- describe the basic properties of bulk-driven MOSFET's and the way they affect the parameters of amplifiers,
- describe the basic properties of floating-gate MOSFET's and the way they affect the parameters of amplifiers,
- describe the basic properties of quasi-floating-gate MOSFET's and the way they affect the parameters of amplifiers,
- design and verify basic parameters of the structure of the OTA, OP-AMP and DDA,
- draw schematics of basic amplifiers employing operational amplifiers and to explain their operation,
- discuss advantages and drawbacks of modern active elements such as OTA, OP-AMP, DDA and CCII,
- define and explain digitally controlled analog circuits,
- explain the methods of diode-less rectifiers and the principle of winner-take-all circuits,
