Course Summary

This course focus on integrated circuit design concepts and assumes that you are familiar with discrete circuit design. System, signal, circuit and component considerations are incorporated. The course is designed to give you broad and applicable skills in designing integrated circuits for a wide range of applications such as chip design, medical implantable devices, integrated sensory systems, many applications that have extreme power consumption limitations and require long-term battery life (e.g. wireless sensors).
Topics include:
1. Semiconductors and Integrated-Circuit Devices, includes
2. Basic Current Mirrors, Single-Stage Amplifiers, includes
3. Basic Operational Amplifier Design, Compensation and Feedback, includes
4. Fundamentals of Power Amplifiers, includes
5. Biasing, References and Regulators, includes
6. Frequency Response, includes
7. Noise and Linearity Analysis and Modelling
Please note that if you take this course for a bachelor honours program, your overall mark in this course will be one of the course marks that will be used to calculate the weighted average mark (WAM) that will determine your award level. (This applies to students who commence enrolment in a bachelor honours program from 1 January 2016 onward. See the WAM information web page for more information.
