Goal Measurements Students are to become proficient in the principles involved in analysis, simulation, and design of modern linear integrated circuits, and knowledgeable about appropriate fabrication constraints.
Examinations measure proficiency in analysis and design principles.
To this end, examinations employ problems that require applying basic principles to situations similar but not identical to examples covered in lecture and in readings. Homework problems document simulation proficiency. Some textbook readings augment lectures by describing fabrication details in a way that clarifies the context in which modern circuit design is carried out.
