1. Completion of auditorium exercises. 2. Completion of homeworks from Auditorium Exercises. 3. Completion of laboratory exercises. 4. Exam.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Learning Outcomes

This course introduces students to the circuit analysis methods, developed for Integrated Circuits. Upon completion of the course, the student is able to: - Develop the admittance matrix for circuit consisting of passive and active components. - Extract the model parameters for the transistors. - Solve the roots from the admittance matrix.

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. Nodal analysis of integrated circuits and forming the admittance matrix.  Selecting the model structure and its parameters for transistors.   
2. Extracting the model parameters for the transistor.   Creating simulation scripts for automating the parameter extraction.   
3. Solving the roots directly from the admittance matrix and via the characteristic polynomial.  Eigen value Numerical Methods in Mathematics for Engineers.   
4. Time varying root-locus method for analyzing and comparing different oscillators.  Analyzing quality factor degradation in oscillators by the root-locus.
