5. WATERLOO ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING 40s: Circuits 5 Which Courses to Take? 4A: ECE 445 Integrated Digital Electronics Review of the MOS transistor: Static and dynamic behavior, short channel effects, scaling trends, SPICE models. CMOS inverter; combinational CMOS circuit design - logic styles for low power, high performance circuits; sequential CMOS circuit design - flip-flops, pipelines, Schmitt trigger; CMOS arithmetic circuits; interconnect parasitic; clocking & timing considerations in digital VLSIs. 4B: ECE 444 Integrated Analog Electronics Analog electronics exploits the physical behaviour of electronic devices to create electronic systems. The performance of single and multiple transistor amplifying stages are studied. Followed by a study of biasing, current mirror and output stages, which are then combined in the study of operational amplifier circuits. Frequency response and feedback are then reviewed leading to a detailed study of stability and compensation for multistage and operational amplifiers. The course finishes with a look at selected topics from A/D converters, oscillators and phase-locked loops.
