Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course is an introduction to analog integrated circuits. The course focuses on negative feedback amplifiers which are central building blocks in analog, digital and radio frequency circuits. Synthesis of amplifiers based on the asymptotic model is introduced. In detail, component modelling, low noise and low distortion design, bandwidth and frequency compensation, rest point setting and analog layout are studied. The course includes practical amplifier design from specification to physical verification, using the latest EDA tools.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing the course, the student should be able to

  • explain how noise, signal power and bandwidth relate to amplifier performance
  • use the asymptotic model to synthesise amplifiers with feedback
  • apply different techniques to minimize noise and distortion
  • apply bandwidth optimisation and frequency compensation based on phantom zeros
  • implement rest-point setting circuits using current and voltage sources
  • apply analog layout techniques for physical implementation
  • use Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools for the design, verification and characterisation of simple integrated circuits
  • write design documentation.

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

Knowledge in analog electronics covering 4,5 higher education credits, equivalent to completed course IE1202/IE1207.

Knowledge of integrated circuits covering 3 higher education credits, corresponding to completed course IL2241 or completed module LAB1 in IL2241.

Literature

You can find information about course literature either in the course memo for the course offering or in the course room in Canvas.

Examination and completion

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • LAB1 - Laboratory work, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • TENS - Written exam, 4.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
