Course Description

This course serves as a brief overview of the topic of analog IC design. It is a high level view of what analog IC design is all about and discusses the requirements for a designer in this field. In reality, this course is a snapshot of a more detailed, 40 hour course on CMOS analog design found elsewhere.

The target audience for this course should have some familiarity with analog circuits and integrated circuit technology. The terminology used is that found in both academia and industry.

This course is stand alone and has no quizzes or other material - it is designed to be a quick refresher or a introduction to the topic of analog IC design. The course will take approximately 3 hours to complete and consists of 12 lectures of 15-20 minutes in length.

Students new to analog IC design can take this course to gain an overview of the topic. Those who are familiar with IC design or have been away from the field for a while, can use the course to come up to date with the field of analog IC design.

The more detailed 40 hour course on CMOS Analog Design is found on other venues (Continued Professional Development at Imperial College of London) and has quizzes associated with the course. Check with the instructor, Dr. Allen, if you are interested in the in-depth course or go to the Imperial College website.

Instructor Details

Phillip Allen

Phillip Allen received his PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Kansas in 1970. He retired from the School of Electrical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology as Professor Emeritus in 2005.

He has worked for the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, Pacific Missile Range, Texas Instruments and consulted with numerous companies. He has taught at the University of Nevada at Reno, University of Kansas, University of California at Santa Barbara, and Texas A&M University.

His technical interest include analog integrated circuit and systems design with focus on implementing low voltage and high frequency circuits and systems in standard CMOS technology. He has conducted research in frequency synthesizers, RF, IF, and baseband filters compatible with standard IC technology.

He has over 60 refereed publications in the area of analog circuits and has coauthored Theory and Design of Active Filters (1980), Switched Capacitor Filters (1984), CMOS Analog Circuit Design (1987), and VLSI Design Techniques for Analog and Digital Circuits (1990).

He is presently active in teaching short courses on analog IC design to professionals worldwide. Also, over the past few years, he has developed proprietary courses for specific semiconductor companies to help their analog designers more effectively and efficiently utilize their particular technologies.

An interesting overview on Analog IC Design, that I recommend to undergraduate students to understand whether this topic may be of interest to them to build their career. The lecturer is a renowned expert, and explains the topics clearly, without going into too much detail (since the aim of the course is to be introductory).

By Cuong Truong on 4/30/2025

This lesson provides an overview of analog circuit design. Professor Allen briefly introduced the common tasks faced by a design engineer, in a very concise and succinct manner. He emphasized the key points to focus on for those interested and working in this field. Thank you very much, Professor

By Atzel Catalan on 1/30/2025

This course is exactly what I need in my professional career; however, the course did lack depth. This is a very barebone, surface-level course and I wish I can ask for more. There aren't many courses in CMOS analog designs on Udemy so I am really praying that there'll be more in-depth courses in the near future.

By Dibyanshu Dey on 8/30/2024

Great course for an overview of Analog circuit design. This course has certainly motivated me to brush up my theoretical knowledge of Signals, Control theory, Network, Analog circuit theory and digital Communication. Thanks Prof Allen.

By Anonymized User on 10/26/2023

This overview is the best starting point to begin with analog design. Once you have the mind map, you can work more focused on what you need and what's next in your journey as an analog designer.

By Jonathan Insler on 5/15/2022

This was a very good overview of analog circuit design. As a patent agent with a background in experimental physics, this course was very useful in properly introducing, explaining, and putting into context many of the terms and devices I have encountered in drafting patent applications for clients in the semiconductor industry.

Nice one

By Bruno Jesus Barajas Salazar on 7/28/2020

It is a good introduction to CMOS analog design. Just as expected from the description. It gives you a very general idea of what CMOS analog circuit design is and what is required. It definitely took my attention and now I want to learn more in detail about this subject.

By Sumit Kumar on 7/24/2020

Yes, things are explained in quite details with an overview of basic requirements or knowledge essential for any Analog circuit designer

By Emilia Noorsal on 7/21/2020

Good overview on analog cmos ic design

By Navaneet Shukla on 7/16/2020

I think the course is pretty much introductory and well-suited for beginners. It will guide you through topics that you need to know (and master) in order to get insights into complete CMOS analog circuit design.

By Ranjith Babu Paineni on 7/15/2020

It is a good match
