After the course the student is able to:
- design a simple analog system (trained on analog circuitry for a switching power supply source controller)
- understand, explain and perform design and analysis of accurate analog integrated circuit (precise operational amplifier, precise voltage reference, precise current reference)
- design, analyze and optimize analog integrated circuit with regard to low noise requirements
(Emphasis will be placed on practical skills (engineering calculation, verification simulation).

The knowledge on the Bachelor´s degree level is requested. Students should be able to explain and work with the basic electrical engineering principles and laws, in particular the theory of circuits (circuit variables, Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's laws). The advantage is the prior completion of the course MAIO (design and analysis of current mirrors, operational amplifiers, voltage bandgap references, etc.)

Not applicable.

The aim is to provide students with the orientation of advanced design methods of modern analog functional blocks for integrated circuits. Emphasis is put on the design of the precise low noise circuits. Students also learn to work with a professional design environment CADENCE at such a level that they will be able to design and draw a basic analog circuits and simple systems and simulate them using basic types of analysis.

The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.
