MTE 421 - Introduction to Analog and Digital Transistor-Level Design

An introduction to analog transistor-level circuits, including metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) single, differential, and multistage amplifiers, cascode configurations, current mirrors, active loads, and frequency limitations. An introduction to digital transistor-level design, including MOS static and dynamic behavior, complementary MOS (CMOS) inverters, combinational and sequential circuit design, arithmetic circuits, and clocking and timing considerations. Students complete a project using industry standard integrated circuit schematic and layout tools.
