ECE 443/L. Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuit Design and Lab (3/1)

Prerequisites: ECE 320/L and ECE 340/L. Corequisite: ECE 443L. This course provides a foundation for students to understand modern mixed-signal integrated circuits, such as analog-to-digital converter (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converter (DACs) circuits. Different architectures of ADCs and DACs are evaluated. Transistor-level implementations of operational amplifiers, comparator, and sample and hold circuits are discussed. Available for graduate credit. 3 hours lecture, one-3 hour lab per week.
