Prerequisites

Knowledge of MOS transistor basics related to circuit design, small signal equivalent circuits, small and large signal analysis; Design of building blocks-opamps, bias generators, amplifier stages

Course contents

This course deals with the system and transistor level design of Analog-to-Digital(A/D) and Digital-to-Analog(D/A) converters, two of the key blocks in present day mixed signal integrated circuits.

Workload(weightage)

Assignments(30%): 5 or 6 assignments through the semester dealing with theory, design, and simulation of data converters
Mid term exam(20%)
Paper presentation(20%): You'll be required to read a paper from the Journal of Solid State Circuits or the International Solid State Circuits conference and deliver a 15 minute presentation to the class. These will be scheduled in the second half of the semester.
Final exam(30%)
