Entry knowledge

The subject knowledge on the Bachelor´s degree level is requested, especially with regard to the principles of analog circuits.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

- a maximum of 30 points for two tests during the semester,
- a maximum of 70 points for the final exam, which consists of a written part and oral exam.
Computer exercises are mandatory. Properly excused absence from seminars can be replaced by appointment with the teacher.

Aims

The aim of the subject is to make thoroughly students familiar with the state of art and perspectives of bipolar analogue integrated circuits and to prepare them for the design-oriented subject Design of analoque integrated circuits CMOS - MPA-NAI.
The student is able to:
- describe and explain the transistor equation for the two basic types of transistors,
- to design, simulate and evaluate the results of a basic analog integrated circuits (current mirror, reference, simple OTA, output stage)
- to design, simulate and evaluate the results of complex analog integrated circuit especially Rail-to-Rail operational amplifiers, and more.
