Target group:
The lecture is intended for students of the diploma programmes Biomedical Technology and Information Systems Engineering (prerequisite: module Circuit Design), as well as students of the master's programme Nanoelectronical Systems (prerequisite: basic Bachelor-level knowledge of circuit design).
Contents of the module:
Concepts and methods for the design of analog integrated circuits for biomedical sensors and electronic sensor interfaces. The focus will be on low-frequency, energy-efficient and low-noise circuits:
• Analog integrated circuits
• Amplifier circuits, esp. low-noise, low-power design
• Electronic interface circuits
• Biomedical signal generation and transmission
• Analog design process
• Circuit design methods, such as g_m/I_D
• Simulation of the (electrical) functionality
• Chip engineering, esp. floor plan, placement, routing, physical layout
• Selected implementations of biomedical electronic interface circuits and electrically active medical implants
Qualification goals:
After completion of this module, students have a thorough understanding of the disgn of analog integrated circuits and their design methodology. They know relevant methods of design, simulation and layout of integrated circuits, and know the concepts to use professional EDA software on the example Cadence IC design. The students can simulate the functionality of an integrated circuit. Further, they know how relevant parasitic effects are taken into account in simulation and design process.
THey are able to apply this knowledge to design biomedical sensors and their electronical interfaces, and improve existing designs. They can analyse complex integrated circuits and apply strategies to implement complex integrated circuits efficiently.
