Fundamental Analogue IC Design

Course Tutor:  Tim Cummins

Who Should Attend?

This course is aimed primarily at graduate analogue/mixed-signal designers, and Digital/ASIC designers who want to switch to mixed signal design. Product, Test, and Reliability engineers will also benefit from the design and semiconductor-physics focus on manufacturability, yield, and reliability.

Course Format

This course covers the fundamentals of analogue design, semiconductor physics and manufacturability, concentrating on deep-sub-micron and nano-meter technologies. The course consists of 5 days x four 1.5 hour sessions per day.

  • 70% is presentation material
  • 30% hands-on content, primarily in the afternoon sessions
  • Each participant is provided with a PC and software to run schematic entry, SPICE circuit simulation, and layout including DRC's & LVS.

Course Aims

To introduce participants to the fundamentals of analogue/mixed-signal IC design, and the underlying semiconductor physics principles. Participants will gain an understanding of basic analogue circuit principles, and the design tools employed, enabling them to become immediately productive in a mixed-signal environment.
