EEE 433 Analog Integrated Circuits (4) [Fall, Spring]
Course (Catalog) Description: Analysis, design, and applications of modern analog circuits using
integrated bipolar and field effect transistor technologies. Lecture, lab.
Course Type: Elective.
Prerequisite: EEE 335.
Textbook: Razavi, Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits, 1st edition, McGraw-Hill, 1993 ISBN:
0072380322.
Supplemental Materials: Dr. Kiaei notes handed out in the class.
Coordinators: S. Kiaei, Professor, David Allee, Associate Professor
Prerequisites by Topic:
1. Circuit models of CMOS, and BJT
2. Electronic circuit analysis
3. Network analysis
Course Objectives:
1. Analysis, design, and applications of modern analog circuits using integrated bipolar and field effect
transistor technologies.
2. Introduce the principles of analog circuits and apply the techniques for the design of analog integrated
circuit (Analog ICs).
3. Apply the methods learned in the class to design and implement practical projects
4. The class will have a lab (or projects for graduate students).
5. The final objective of the class is to implement a complete analog system. In each weeks lab, the
class will build parts of the system with an overall objective of completing the entire system by the
end of the term.
6. Lab: There is a weekly project/Lab. The labs will be either using a CAD tool for simulations
(PSPICE/CADENCE) and layout of Integrated Circuits (IC), or hardware lab. All hardware labs work
will occur in GWC273 under an open lab system. You may do your work anytime the lab is open. For
the students enrolled at 591 (graduate students), they will be performing projects and advance labs
using the CAD tools.
Course Outcomes:
1. Students will demonstrate the use of analog circuit analysis techniques to analyze the operation and
behavior of various analog integrated circuits.
2. Students will demonstrate their knowledge by designing analog circuits.
3. Design, layout, and testing of Analog circuits.
Course Topics:
1. Device Modeling: Small Signal models for BJT; MOS; Passive components
2. Overview of IC Technology
3. Single Stage Amplifiers and Blocks
4. Two Port Models; Single Stage Amplifiers; Differential Pairs
5. Basic Analog Building Blocks
6. Current Biasing and Current Mirrors; Active Loads; Voltage and Current References; Matching
Conditions and Offset
7. Output Stages
8. Emitter Follower, Source Follower, Class B and AB output stages
9. Multi-Stage Amplifiers
10. Frequency Response of ICs
11. Feedback
12. Feedback Compensation
13. Advance Topics: Noise, Non-Linear Circuits (if time permits)
Computer Usage: Use of PSpice/Cadence for Simulation Labs and homework problems.
Laboratory Experiments:
1. Common Source Amplifier (CAD)
2. Common Emitter Amplifier (Hardware)
3. Two stage Amplifiers (CAD/Hardware)
4. Current Mirror (CAD/Hardware)
5. Project
Course Contribution to Engineering Science and Design:

EEE433 contributes to engineering science through circuit analysis, problem solving, computer solutions,
and applications of mathematics, physics, and electronics. Design occurs through weekly design projects
as well as a four-week final design project.
Course Relationship to Program Objectives:

A.1/A.2. Cadence tools and PSPICE used for layout, simulation and extraction as well as contemporary
methods in electronic circuit analysis.
A3. Cadence tools will be used in five years; course material geared toward analog electronics expected
over next five years.
C.1 Students Analog/Mixed signal background are highly sought after upon graduation.
C.2 Gray and Mayer and Razavis books are standard textbooks used at top EE departments across the
nation, and hence students are prepared for advanced study in this area.
D.1 Students are taught problem solving through circuit design, circuit analysis, layout of circuits,
extraction of layout parameters, and design analysis.
D.2 Models used for standard processes expose students to model parameters.
D.3 Successful students in this elective course will have achieved proficiency in the EE subdiscipline of
analog/mixed signal design.
D.4 Students have extensive exposure to Cadence circuit analysis in 433.
D.5 Students completing 433 have basic knowledge of analog/mixed signal design.
3(a) Students apply knowledge of math, science, and engineering to complete class.
3(b) There are 3 hours of hardware and Cadence simulation required per week, which require students to
design and conduct experiments.
3(c) Students design a complete analog system with amplification, energy blocks, input/output stages to
interface with external systems.
3(e) Students solve engineering problems related to electronic circuits.
3(g) Students do both written and oral reports for class.
3(i) Students do literature surveys and develop references outside class for their projects.
3(j) Industry speakers give presentations on applications of course knowledge.
3(k) All the design and computer tool skills taught are used in modern analog/mixed signal industries.
