Subject Overview: Current sources, temperature and voltage independent references are critical components in the design of real systems. This subject will teach students how to build reference circuits and how to analyse noise, distortion, offsets and estimate circuit performance. Students will be introduced to the concept of process and temperature variation and methods to simulate circuit performance taking into account process and temperature variation. Students will also be introduced to circuit design techniques to contend with these real world issues in circuit and system design.
Objectives: Upon successful completion of this subject students should be able to:
  • Explain the sources of noise in circuits;
  • Design amplifiers, current sources, temperature and voltage independent references;
  • Build circuits to counteract process and component mismatch with nano-electronic components and devices.
Assessment:
  • One, written examination (not exceeding three hours) at the end of semester, worth 70%;
  • Continuous assessment of submitted project work (not exceeding 30 pages in total over the semester), worth 30%.
