Key words
analog electronics, microelectronics, IC design
Objectives
The students should experience that a good design is based on an good design methodology, on an exact formulation of the objectives, on a selection of tools and an efficient control of the results.
Topics
Technology: production of integrated circuits
Layout: stickdiagrams
Design: custom design of analog components as voltage and current sources, amplifiers, Ota's, Opamps
Active analog filters
FPAA's: the use of field programmable gate arrays
Prerequisites
The competences from the former courses 'analog electronics'
Final Objectives
The students can design, in group and collaborating, specific analog components on low and medium design level, taking into account the specifications and the technological limitations, within a specified time.

Study guidance
The students are expected to learn independently and to use the learned knowledge individually and in group, supported by the professor and the assistent professor
Teaching Methods
Lecture sessions, labs, exercises, personel work, work in group, project work
Assessment
Theory: oral/written exam, 66%
exercises, labs: permanent evaluation, peer and self assessment
A weighted average is used to compute the final score for a training item. However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items) , he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course, the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less.
For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
