Analog circuits design - 4PMTACD2

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

Solid state physics, basic electronics courses. Analysis of analog circuits, principles of linearization (small/large signal equivalent circuits) of nonlinear devices.
