ECE 540L: ANALOG IC DESIGN LAB
California State University, Northridge
Corequisite: ECE 540. This laboratory course reinforces material taught in Analog Integrated Circuit Design (ECE 540). The course begins with an introduction to the Linux operating system. Subsequent topics include DC/transient/AC simulation, noise simulation, nonlinear simulation, layout generation, design rule check (DRC), layout versus schematic check (LVS), parasitic extraction, and post layout simulation. Industry-standard simulation tools, along with a commercial design kit, are used. Mastery of analog circuit design flow is achieved through a combination of laboratory exercises, assignments, and a course design project. 3 hours lab per week.
