EE 135 Analog Integrated Circuit Layout and Design

The objective of this course is to introduce the student to CMOS analog integrated circuit layout and design. This course covers CMOS integrated circuit design, layout and verification using the Cadence CAD tools. Topics covered are analog MOSFET models, current sources and sinks, references, amplifier design, nonlinear analog circuits, dynamic analog circuits, ADCs and DACs.
