General
The focus of this course is on data converter design both Nyquist-rate and oversampling converters.
Topics include architectures, noise-analysis, as well as amplifier, comparator and DAC sub-blocks.

Project 1 (due Jan 20).
Project 2 (due Mar 3). CMOS 0.25um generic technology file
Project 3 (due Mar 24). Take a look in the directory below and choose one paper to give a report on.
Email me your choice and I will assign a name to it (one paper per student - first come, first choice).
Your report should explain the main benefits and disadvantages of the work. Simulations are encouraged but
may not be possible for some of the papers. I will choose the top reports to be presented to the class.
Your final grade will be determined by:
Final Exam 50%
Projects 50%
