EE 224 Second Semester SY 2017-2018

  • Mixed-Signal Systems
  • Lecture Schedule:
    • Tue/Thu 10am-11:30am, Room: EEEI 123

Announcements

  • 1/19: Welcome to EE 224!
  • 1/22: To prepare for our design and simulation activities, make sure you have: (1) a Microlab account, and (2) you have access to the Microlab wiki. Please approach Rico Maestro if you encounter any problems. Though our exercises will be tool agnostic, an easy way to start with Verilog-A is to go through the setup tutorial found here. This is a step-by-step guide to setting up your environment so that you can use Verilog, Verilog-A, and Spectre together.
  • 1/30: Assignment #1 is here, due 5:30pm Tuesday, 2/20, via email.
  • 3/15: Assignment #2 is here, due Friday, 3/23, 5pm.
    • The Verilog-A model of our Gm cell is here
  • 7/9: Assignment #3 is here, due Friday, 8/3, 5pm. (Sorry for the very late post. If you have any trouble accessing the ST 65nm process files, let me know.)
