Goal(s)
The student will be able to design analog integrated circuits (and the analog parts of VLSI circuits). She/he will master the device structures and the basic circuits used in MOS technologies, as well as the basic principles underlying their correct layout.

Integrated components
MOS transistors: structures and modes of operation, large and small signal models, thermal behaviour and noise; operation in weak inversion; standard process and layout.
Passive devices: capacitor and resistors, MOS transistor used as a resistor and as a pseudo-resistor, diodes and interconnections
Parasitic devices and parasitic effects: parasitic capacitors and resistors. Gate breakdown and gate protections
Basic analog structures design tradeoffs:
a. Amplifier
b. Differential Pair
c. Current Mirror
d. Cascode Stage
Prerequisites
Solid state physics, basic electronics courses. Analysis of analog circuits, principles of linearization (small/large signal equivalent circuits) of nonlinear devices.
