The course aims to familiarise students with the fundamentals in analogue design for integrated and high frequency circuits. A number of circuit design methods, techniques and key building blocks will be discussed and analysed.

By the end of the course, students should be able to:

1. Design and analyse analogue circuits based on active elements (transistors/op-amps) considering non-ideal component behaviour; 
2. Develop hierarchical models of more complicated circuits;
3. Analyse frequency response of transistor-based circuits, feedback and stability, and apply these to attain design objectives.

1. Introduction and fundamentals;
2. Single stage MOSFET amplifiers;
3. Single stage BJT amplifiers;
4. Cascodes, current mirrors and reference circuits;
5. Differential amplifiers;
6. Frequency response;
7. Feedback and stability;
8. Op-amp circuits.
