Main themes
This course addresses the synthesis of analog integrated circuits, that is the design and sizing at transistor level of the main analog electronics components integrated on Si, in view of applications in instrumentation, telecommunication, signal processing ...
This course aims at presenting the state-of-the art (architectural solutions, performances and limitations) and at further providing an advanced design methodology.

Content
- Analog modelling of the MOS transistor
- Operational and transconductance amplifiers
- Switched-capacitor filters
- Continuous-time filters (MOSFET-C, gm-C)
- Switched-current circuits
- D-A, A-D converters (incl. Sigma-Delta)
- Voltage- or current- controlled oscillators
Teaching methods
The course is organized in successive theoretical and practical sessions, in presence. Exercices are mainly hands-onand consist in training and use of computer-aided design softwares on workstations (MATLAB, SPICE / ELDO, CADENCE...) in view of practicing taught optimization and simulation methods and techniques in practical application case studies.
Evaluation methods
The exam features two parts :
- The realization of an original work in groups of 2 or 3 students during the 2nd semi-quadrimester on the analysis of a case study, on the basis of technical articles and the practice on this case, of the methods and techniques of synthesis of the course. A written report must be delivered for the start of the January exam session and is orally discussed during the written exam. The project marks might be individualized depending on the participation/presence of each student of a group. The project might be represented (and hence improved) in 2nd session. The use of generative AI is strongly not recommended for this project (including to improve the text of the report).
- The written exam is individual and open-book. Main questions are on the analysis of a technical article (explanations of concepts, equations and performances ; proposition of a sizing algorithm). In addition, a few short questions are on important concepts discussed in the course.
- The project and written exam have an equal weight on the final mark if they have both been presented.
Other information
This course assumes that basic notions of fundamental electronics devices and circuits have been acquired at Bac Level, such as in LELEC1330 and LELEC1530. The course is primarily aimed at students in 2nd year of Master ELEC or ELME preferably after following the course LELEC2532.
