CMOS Analog Design

The major objective of this 3 day course is to make the participants familiar and experienced with CMOS Analog Design and their relevant related topics. It will give an in-depth view of the possibilities and limitations CMOS analog design principles and technology of today and prospects of tomorrow. Practical sessions will form a strong backbone of the course, complemented by several tutorial lectures.

This course will focus on the design of CMOS analog integrated circuits with exhaustive details of the basic building blocks and device technology. In addition, basic applications of analog integrated circuits will be covered which may include such topics as implementation operational amplifiers.

The emphasis of this course is on design of analog circuits in an integrated circuit context. Analysis, design, and optimization basic CMOS circuits are covered in detail. The lectures will be distributed between CMOS device technology and circuit techniques. The course is intended for engineers with experience in the field of MOS circuit design but also contains introductory subjects in order to bridge the gap between the technology and IC circuit designers on the one hand, and the systems engineer applying analog techniques, on the other.

This and and all other courses are available for On Site Training
