This course starts with the building blocks of
mixed-signal integrated circuits, mostly data
converters and frequency synthesizers:
comparators, sampling circuits, amplifiers,
controlled oscillators, charge pumps, phase-
frequency detectors, etc. Then, it continues with an
overview of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs)
and phase-locked loops (PLLs). Students will learn
about several ADC and PLL topologies, the use of
mixed-signal integrated circuits in different
applications. Students will also design an ADC or
PLL as a course project.
