616 Computer
Aided Analysis of Electronic Networks
Course Description
This course aims to convey a
knowledge of advanced concepts of analog circuit simulation and design
techniques. Emphasis is on the topics related to numerical analysis methods
useful for the analog and mixed signal designs. Students will learn general
formulation techniques, sensitivity analysis, large change sensitivities,
numerical Laplace transform inversion, solution of nonlinear networks, and
circuit optimization. Students are expected to work on the computer assignments
which can be completed using any computer language (C++, Pascal, Fortran) or
simulation tool Matlab, MathCad, Mathematica). Special attention will be devoted
to the most important challenges facing analog CAD industry today and in the
coming decade, being the impact of large scale designs, simulation errors or
simulation time. This will reflected in both the lectures and the preferred
projects.
