Analog Integrtd Circuit Design

Topics include standard circuit building blocks such as current mirrors, voltage references, single stage amplifier topologies, differential pairs. Device models, bias choices, temperature effects, the body effect, and mismatch. Op-amp and OTA design as well as frequency response, noise analysis, stability, and compensation. The course will include readings in Filter Design, Common Mode Feedback, and Distortion. A design project required, which can be related to the student's research or possibly another advanced E&C-ENG course such as RF systems, biology, or communications.

Computr Architecture

A graduate version of E&C-Eng 568. Quantitative study of pipelined processor architectures, memory, Input/Output, RISC processors and vector machines. Prerequisite: undergraduate courses in digital design and hardware organization.

Synthesis/Verification DigiSys

Modern techniques for synthesis and verification of digital systems. Topics in synthesis cover high-level synthesis, decision diagrams, combinational and sequential logic optimization. Topics in verification include symbolic techniques, equivalence checking, satisfiability, FSM traversal and state reachability analysis. Prerequisites: undergraduate courses in digital logic design and hardware organization.
