There will be dates during the term which I must travel. There will always be a substitute lecturer on those days, but I will also schedule make-up lectures to re-cover the material to ensure consistent coverage.

The class design content will be in the form of large design projects (circuit simulation and mask layout) with a series of incremental due dates. You do not need to attend the lab hours posted in the Schedule of Classes. We will use some of these hours to schedule a weekly review session with the teaching assistants.
Mid-term Exam: Monday November 5,
1200Noon-150 PM, PHELPS 1431
Dead week: December 2-7
Last Lecture: December 5
Final Exam: Wednesday, December 12, 2007, 12 - 3 p.m.

The main text for the class is the online lecture notes- these are available via the links below. Printed copies of the notes will be available at the Alternative Copy Shop
You will also need to have a quality analog IC design text. If you don't have one, recommended texts would include:
Grey and Meyer: Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits, Any edition
or Microelectronic Circuit Design, 2nd edition or 3rd edition, R.C. Jaeger and T.N. Blalock
These can be purchased online from many vendors.
I will be also posting citations to key IEEE Journal Papers.
Notes set one: Transistor Models
Notes set two: Transmission-Line Models
Notes set three: review of baseband and high frequency circuit analysis
Notes set 6: ECL and CML logic
Notes Set 8: Device Noise Models
Notes Set 9: Circuit Noise Calculations
Notes sets 9-13 (Noise, optical fiber receivers, op-amps, ADCs & DACs) are in revision. They will be posted on-line (and subsequently made available via the Alterative copy shop) later in the term.

These resources are to be used with the Agilent ADS microwave IC design environment. Access to ADS can be either through accounts in the ECI lab, or via the microwave teaching lab on the 5th Floor of Harold Frank Hall. If you are member of a research group in the ECE dept, you may well also have access to ADS via your group's PCs or Workstations---ask your Professor.
