The course aims to provide basic knowledge on the modeling of electronic devices, on the operation of analog and digital circuits in CMOS technology and on the most common circuit configurations that make use of operational amplifiers. The course also provides knowledge on the use of CAD software (for example LTSPICE) for circuit simulation.
At the end of the course the student will have an overview of the electronic devices and applications in which they are used and will be able to analyze and design simple analog and digital circuits, also through the use of CAD tools.
The course includes lectures and both numerical and simulation exercises (CAD). The latter are aimed at putting into practice and consolidating the theoretical contents as well as the analysis and the design techniques developed. Seminars will be organized by researchers and designers from companies operating in the microelectronics sector.
