Course Overview of Advanced Analog Circuit Design Course

This course delves into the design and analysis of advanced analog and mixed-signal circuits, focusing on principles and practices essential for modern electronic applications. It will explore in-depth topics, including operational amplifiers, active filters, feedback systems, data converters (ADCs and DACs), and phase-locked loops (PLLs). The course covers both CMOS and Bipolar junction transistor (BJT) technologies, examining their behavior, noise analysis, and stability considerations.

Practical design challenges in analog and mixed-signal environments are emphasized, along with methods for simulation, layout, and integration within larger systems. Case studies, real-world applications, and hands-on projects provide with experience in designing robust circuits under various constraints. By the end of the course, it will be proficient in creating efficient, high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits suitable for industry applications.
