| Learning Outcomes |
Competences |
| Students can design, calculate and simulate simple CMOS circuits in an open-source environment. An open-source 130 nm CMOS technology is used, as well as open development tools for schematic input and simulation of analog circuits. Students will be able to calculate the small signal equivalent circuit diagrams of basic circuits and use the gm/Id method to design the circuit. Students will be introduced to modern tools such as Jupyter Notebook, Linux-based EDA tools and document systems such as Quarto (based on Markdown and Latex).
