1. CMOS Analog Circuit Design

4.4

(768)

This course serves as a brief overview of the topic of analog IC design. It is a high level view of what analog IC design is all about and discusses the requirements for a designer in this field. In reality, this course is a snapshot of a more detailed, 40 hour course on CMOS analog design found elsewhere. The target audience for this course should have some familiarity with analog circuits and integrated circuit technology. The terminology used is that found in both academia and industry. This course is stand alone and has no quizzes or other material - it is designed to be a quick refresher or a introduction to the topic of analog IC design. The course will take approximately 3 hours to complete and consists of 12 lectures of 15-20 minutes in length. Students new to analog IC design can take this course to gain an overview of the topic. Those who are familiar with IC design or have been away from the field for a while, can use the course to come up to date with the field of analog IC design. The more detailed 40 hour course on CMOS Analog Design is found on other venues (Continued Professional Development at Imperial College of London) and has quizzes associated with the course. Check with the instructor, Dr. Allen, if you are interested in the in-depth course or go to the Imperial College website...

2. Digital Logic Circuits and Design

(144)

After completing this course, you'll be able to 1. Understand all the fundamentals of number systems and performing conversion between them. 2. Function of logic circuits and how to design them. 3. Classify Combinational Logic and Sequential Logic. 4. How to design a combinational logic circuit for a given scenario with the minimum number of gates possible.5. Use all the standard techniques to minimize the logic gate requirements6. Design sequential logic circuits like Counters and Shift Registers using Flip flops. 7. Understand the working of various flip flops and latches and highlight the difference between them. If you're an aspirant who belong to the field of Computer Science, Electronics and Information Technology, Then this course will strongly build the foundations of the digital electronics in you. Objective of the course is to make everyone design a digital circuit efficiently using various components. Digital systems contain information that is represented as binary digits called bits. The alphabet of these bits is the set {0, 1}, which represents the logical value of thebits. The physical value is determined by the logic family being used. The transistor-transistorlogic (TTL) family represents a logic 0 typically as + 0.2 volts and a logic 1typically as + 3.4 volts using a + 5 volt power supply; the emitter-coupled logic (ECL)100K family represents a logic 0 typically as - 1.7 volts and a logic 1 typically as -0.95volts using a - 4.5 volt power supply. Thus, a signal can be asserted either positive (plus) or negative (minus), dependingupon the active condition of the signal at that point. The word positive, as usedhere, does not necessarily mean a positive voltage level, but merely the more positiveof two voltage levels, as is the case for ECL...

3. CMOS Digital Integrated Circuit Design

4.2

(63)

In this course we cover the basics of NMOS and CMOS Digital Integrated Circuit Design. If you are looking for an introduction to this subject  then this is the course for you. We start with a look at some device physics. This will allow us to be introduced to some terminology and will set the foundations for the rest of the course. We then move onto device fabrication and layout which will be covered more extensively when we look at designing and simulating our circuits in an Electronic Design Automation tool (EDA) called Electric which you can download for free and give it a go yourself. We then look at deriving some equations that allow us to understand and use the MOSFET (Metal Oxide Field Effect Transistors)  transistors to build useful digital logic circuits. We then cement our understanding of the 4 device types depletion and enhancement nmos and pmos devices using a simple simulation which I built myself which gives a good intuitive understanding of the MOSFET. Then we move onto simple pass transistor circuits which allow us to get used to the transistor equations and will also help us with an understanding of dynamic logic. We cover the Inverter (NOT gate) in detail as we will use this as the building block for many future circuits. We then come to the section on NMOS circuit design where we design simple building blocks such as NOR and NAND gates and other simple gates and random combinational logic culminating in the full adder circuit. The next section covers CMOS circuit design and again we work through the design of the basic logic building blocks culminating in a full adder circuit. The final section covers the EDA tool called electric in which we design and layout our CMOS circuits finishing off with a full adder circuit. I have  spent 7 years after graduation as an Integrated Circuit Designer with a world leading design house. I also have spent 4 years with a company with it's own wafer fabrication plant which allowed me to not only design the integrated circuits  (chips) but also follow the production process and to work through the full characterisation then implementation of the chip into a customers system. So I have worked through several end to end life cycles of chips that are out there and working now...

4. RF and millimeter-Wave Circuit Design

This unique Master-level course offered by the Center for Wireless Technology Eindhoven (CWT/e) of the Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, provides students with in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience on RF and mmWave circuit design. The course covers the topics on how to derive the RF wireless systems specifications, and how to design the main building blocks of a transceiver, i.e., low noise amplifier, power amplifier, RF mixers, oscillators, and PLL frequency synthesizers. It is divided into two parts: (1) theoretical lectures will cover the basis of RF and mmWave Circuit Design; and (2) design labs will include simulation and implementation of these circuits. The design labs are completely optional for obtaining the certificate, but they are recommended because they allow students to put into practice all the acquired theoretical knowledge, and of course, implementing the circuits is where all the fun is! The students will be able to do 70% of the design labs using simulation tools, which already offers a great learning experience. The other 30% will require students to either get access to an electronics lab or to purchase a few off-the-shelf components. But ultimately, this would allow students to design and build their own transceiver at home! The course contains theoretical video classes with examples, quizzes, and an entire set of simulation files, step-by-step procedures, recorded data of real-life circuits, and solution videos so that students can learn from and build even better circuits...

5. Analog electronic circuit designs In Simple Words

4.3

(98)

This course draws a guiding line between learning concepts and quantifying them. The mathematical description of a system mystifies the idea and drives students away from seeing the intuitive simplicity behind the design. In most courses you are taught to calculate voltage, voltage drop, current, and power by using techniques like node and mesh analysis, however, it is hard to figure out the real purpose of the circuit when focused only on solving equations. Latch circuit, frequency domains, low and high filters, control circuits are not taught in any fundamental or basic courses anywhere. In basic or fundamental courses you are taught laws rules to follow in order to find the solution. This course takes you in a snap from basic to advanced in a very short time that is why it is unique, innovative, and impressive. It is designed specifically for that purpose. It has tremendous value for a very low cost. Many hours of a course content  does not necessarily guarantee good learning, you probably would not even watch it all. This course is very optimized to deliver precisely and efficiently the information without any extra talking that is not relevant. Companies pay high salaries for those who get the job perfectly done in short time. This course does just that. Do not let anyone mess with your head about it because of the number of hours. I have set up a set of qualities for this course, if that what fits you then this course is for you...

7. Analog Circuit Design - An Intuitive Approach

4.6

(106)

Analog Circuit Design is a course mostly designed for learners at all level. Circuit design can be complex and the only way to simply it is to break it down( Divide and conquer ). The idea of the course is mostly to build intuition and create memory/mental models for circuits.  We believe that , the intuition we create about circuits gives the power to design/analyze and solve circuits. The focus in this course is purely on Amplifiers: Single Stage and Multistage( Cascode and Cascade)Some practical aspects will also be discussed which will be beneficial for Students / Beginners in Analog circuit design. Few quick analysis techniques will be discussed. For example: Quick GM calculations , Input / Output resistance calculation , Voltage budgeting for a given supply ,  high impedance nodes  , gm reduction and increase techniques , etcCase studies on some important circuit configuration will be discussed in detail. In each case study we will concentrate on deriving the Gain, GM and RO without using complex equation. Please note that, this course is not designed for experts but for beginners/Students and early design engineers.

15. VHDL Circuit Design and FPGAs with VIVADO and MODELSIM

4.2

(67)

In this course, we will teach VHDL circuit design. The fundamental concepts about VHDL circuit design will be provided. In addition, practical examples using FPGA development boards will be provided. Combinational and clocked logic circuit design will be explained by examples. We will use either VIVADO or MODELSIM platform for the simulation and development of VHDL designs. Some of the written codes will be loaded into FPGA cards for demonstration purposes. We use MODELSIM for simulation of the VHDL codes. In VHDL circuit design, good knowledge of signal and variable objects is necessary, and the engineer should know the differences between signal and variable objects very well. The most confusing part between the signal and variable objects is that variable objects are updated immediately whereas update of the signal objects is not immediate. Clock division operation and behavior of the signal and variable objects are explained in details using MODELSIM simulations. The behaviors of the combinational and sequential circuits are clarified using MODELSIM simulations. We use VIVADO platform for simulation and circuit synthesis of the VHDL codes. In fact, it is better to use the MODELSIM platform for simulations and VIVADO platform for circuit synthesis and FPGA programming. We indicate that a VHDL code which can be simulated may not be synthesizable,  and we explain this concept providing examples on VIVADO platform. Through the course, we provide many videos explaining VHDL language for circuit design and use of MODELSIM and VIVADO platforms for simulation and circuit synthesis...
