Learning Outcomes
This course introduces students to the circuit analysis methods, developed for Integrated Circuits. Upon completion of the course, the student is able to: - Develop the admittance matrix for circuit consisting of passive and active components. - Extract the model parameters for the transistors. - Solve the roots from the admittance matrix.
Content
| Content | Core content | Complementary knowledge | Specialist knowledge |
| 1. | Nodal analysis of integrated circuits and forming the admittance matrix. | Selecting the model structure and its parameters for transistors. | |
| 2. | Extracting the model parameters for the transistor. | Creating simulation scripts for automating the parameter extraction. | |
