Low Voltage CMOS Circuit Operation
Prof. Anand Bulusu · IIT Roorkee
About
This course would deal with the circuit design techniques in low voltage regime, where the PVT variations are malfunctioning the circuit performance. The understanding of MOSFET or/and FinFET operation in weak inversion region, followed by development of robust circuit designing techniques in Digital, Analog and Mixed-signal designs. Objective: To understand essential aspects of low voltage operation of MOSFETs and CMOS circuits comprehensively and to learn to design such circuits.
Intended audience: Student interested in VLSI circuit design and device-circuit interaction.
Prerequisites: Courses on digital logic design, digital VLSI and analog circuit design and basic MOS device physicsax
