Course 1: Transistor-Level Design of Analog ICs

This course will provide the latest techniques for the practical design of
the most important building blocks used in analog integrated circuits. The
topics to be discussed include the design of CMOS bias circuits and
op-amps; fast and high-accuracy sample-and-hold stages; comparators; AGC as
well as low-noise amplifiers; voltage-controlled oscillators and
phase-locked loops; on-chip switched-capacitor dc-dc voltage converters;
voltage references; and finally feedback and frequency stabilization
techniques.

The course will be taught by leading industrial designers and university
researchers with many years of experience in the practical design of analog
ICs. It will provide state-of-the-art information on the most effective
methods currently available for analog integrated circuit design.
