Dept. of EECS
Course Focus
Focus is on analog design
Typically: Specs ! circuit topology ! layout
Key point:
Especially in analog, some things are much easier to do than others Sometimes the right thing to do is change the specs
EECS240 1 Lecture
Course Goal
Learn how to create systematic approaches to analog design
Based on fundamental principles For a wide variety of applications

Lecture
Analog circuitry:
Cost/function may not scale very well Common complaints about scaling analog: Supply voltage is too low, device gain is low, horrible matching!
Lots of analog issues to deal with when push digital performance, power, etc.
Charge sharing, interconnect parasitics, etc.
Examples:
Wireline, optical communications RF transceivers (receiver + transmitter) Sensors and actuators (e.g., MEMS)
EECS240 1
Lecture
RF Receiver
Why so many RF and analog building blocks? Why not just put the ADC right after the antenna?
EECS240 1 Lecture
RF Transceiver Layout
Even in 0.18um!
MEMS Accelerometer
Acceleration MEMS sensor C/V conversion
Amplication
A/D Conversion

Another Example
Look at interface between two digital chips
Is received bit a 1 or a 0?

Lecture
Initial eye
At a higher level, its gates and registers (RTL) Digital layout is often automated Abstraction in analog is the device model
(BSIM is a few thousand lines long)
Analog versus RF
RF = Analog with inductors RF signal is usually narrowband (i.e., sinusoidal)
Tuned circuit techniques used for signal processing.
Mixed-Signal Design
Lecture
Digitally-Assisted Analog
Syllabus
Devices (both passive and active):
Models, simulation, layout, and matching
EECS 247
