ENE5210 Analog Intergrated Circuits Design (類比積體電路設計)
Course description : This course emphasises intuitive approach to analysing the performance and limitations of analogue integrated circuits, as well as the ability to design analogue integrated circuits quantitively by both hand calculations and computer-aided simulations. Techniques and considerations regarding the layout of analogue integrated circuits will also be practiced. Students are expected to be able to complete the full-custom design process of an operational amplifier.

Teaching Method
The course is lectured in Englsih with power-point handouts. The NTHU E-learning system will be the main platform for lecture notes, homeworks, marks, and interactions with students. The PowerCam XMS platform, on the other hand, will be used to provide students with course videos. PSPICE simulation will be used extensively to do all homeworks.
