| Synopsis |
This module develops analogue IC
design techniques from basic components through to building blocks
and finally on to systems such as operational amplifiers. Bipolar
and CMOS design topics are covered. Example circuits and SPICE simulations
are used throughout the module to reinforce the analogue IC design
techniques presented. Practical issues surrounding analogue and
mixed signal IC design and implementation are emphasised. The design
of phase locked loops is given a separate treatment because of the
importance of these circuits in deriving reliable clock signals
and the unusual mixture of analogue and digital circuitry operating
in the GHz region. The module introduces the design of integrated
analogue and mixed analogue and digital circuits and the use of
CAD tools to simulate and evaluate such circuit designs. |

| Synopsis |
The module aims to give participants the
ability to interpret design rules and be able to produce “good”
layouts for various macro classes. On completion of the module students
should be able to analyse, implement and layout analogue macros utilising
“best practice” techniques for a given process. The module includes
aspects of layout design relating to structures, matching, tolerances, thermal
and electrical issues, and issues specific to DSM and high frequency design.

| Synopsis |
The objective of this module is to provide
the understanding and the methods for the understanding of the operation
of basic analogue CMOS cells, and how to design common functions. The emphasis
is placed on design of analogue functions specifically as part of mixed
signal systems.
The course will start with a review of the important operating features
of MOS devices and focus on the parasitic elements associated with the fabrication
process, examining which can be used as passive elements in design. Device
models suitable for hand calculation are considered as well as their limits
of applicability. The methods for manufacturability and robustness in design
are given high priority.
Functions addressed include primitive cells, biasing and references, op-amp
designs, sampled and continuous time filters, A/D and D/A converters.
