Course content
This course focuses on design techniques of electronic circuits as well as application based system design. Students will learn basic design techniques and trade-offs in electronic circuits design. The design of basic circuit blocks such as amplifiers, filters, oscillators and power converters will be used as an example to learn the basic design techniques and trade-offs between power, speed and noise.
Purpose of class
The purpose of this class is to develop a basic understanding of electronic circuits design such as design techniques, design flow (from specification to verification) and trade-offs.
Goals and objectives
  1. The students can understand and explain the function of basic circuit blocks
  2. The students can understand the basic procedure in electronic circuits and systems design
  3. The students can understanding the basic trade-offs in circuit design
