Who Should Attend 

This course has been designed for 

circuit designers who need to 

implement analog integrated circuits 

using CMOS technologies. The 

course will provide experienced 

analog circuit designers with a 

valuable update on the latest and 

upcoming developments in the field. 

It will give novices, and those 

considering entering the field, an 

indispensable foundation in the 

fundamentals of the technology, and 

ways in which it can be implemented 

successfully. Participants should 

have a general knowledge of analog 

circuits, electrical circuit analysis, 

and familiarity with integrated circuit 

technology. 

Participants’ 

Comments 

“the course content and support 

documentation was very good” 

“detailed circuit analysis” 

“Prof. Allen has an excellent way of 

presenting the course material”

“excellent coverage of a huge 

subject in short time. An excellent 12 

week course neatly fitted into 5 days” 

“informative, enjoyable, full of 

insights…I learned a lot!” 

“highly recommended for 

experienced and new engineers 

requiring an improvement in analog 

design” 

“several new design ideas which I as 

a bipolar designer, found very 

useful…” 

“an excellent choice of course for an 

excellent choice of career” 

”Best feature of the course is the 

explanations of the concepts 

required for analog design without all 

the equations” 

“”“I am now far more confident of 

success with my analog CMOS 

designs” design...detailed circuit 

analysis”

Course Description 

This course has been designed: 

• To provide a state-of-the-art review of the principles, 

concepts, and techniques needed to carry out the 

successful design of CMOS analog integrated circuits. 

• To expose the participants to the methods used in the 

processing and design of such circuits, including electrica 

modeling, characterization of the process parameters, 

SPICE simulation techniques, testability considerations, 

and methods of experimental verification. 

• To combine an academic viewpoint with practical 

examples and industry experience. 

What is the Course About? 

The course provides a bottom-up, hierarchical approach 

to the subject of analog circuit and systems design using 

standard CMOS technologies. Simple modeling 

techniques are used to gain an understanding of and 

insight into the function of circuits. Computer simulation 

is used to predict circuit performance. Techniques 

suitable to enhanced performance using integrated 

circuit technology are used. In addition, the implications 

of IC fabrication are used whenever possible to 

associate the electrical performance with the physical 

attributes of the circuit.

Course Instructor 

The course will be presented by Dr. Phillip Allen, who is 

Professor Emeritus at Georgia Instittute of Technology in 

Atlanta, GA, USA. Dr. Allen has over 40 years of 

experience in teaching and research of analog integrated 

circuits. He is a registered electrical engineer in the state 

of California and is a Life Fellow of the IEEE. He is widely 

regarded as one of the foremost international authorities 

on analog CMOS circuit design. He has worked and 

consulted with many companies, including Lawrence 

Livermore Laboratory, General Motors (Delco), Pacific 

Missile Range, Texas Instruments, Lockheed Research 

Laboratory, and National Semiconductor. Dr. Allen has 

taught at the University of California (Santa Barbara), 

Texas A&M University, and Georgia Tech. He is the coauthor 

of “Introduction to Theory and Design of Active 

Filters” (1980), “Switched Capacitor Circuits” (1984),
