This course, An Entry-Level Course on Analog and Digital Microelectronics, provides an insightful understanding of the basics of analog and digital electronics. It is comprised of sixteen sessions, each taking around 40-45 minutes, and covers the design, simulation, and layout of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors, basic analog amplifiers, and basic digital logic circuits. The course provides a step-by-step analysis and design of widely used analog amplifiers including common-source, common-gate, source follower, and cascode stages as well as an analysis of gain and input/output impedances. It also covers logic circuits including CMOS inverters, NAND, NOR, and general Boolean functions as well as introduction to performance parameters such as noise margin and propagation delay. For each circuit being covered, the design tips and the layout will be provided. All the concepts will be clarified by many examples. The course is intended for junior- and senior-level students in the field of electrical and computer engineering, engineers in other engineering fields who are interested in gaining knowledge of microelectronics, and graduate students from different engineering fields who are interested in learning about semiconductor devices and circuits.
