Master Micro’s Post

I am thrilled to announce that I will be offering my long-awaited course on "𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗨𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗺/𝗜𝗗 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆" to worldwide audience! The course will be live, online, and in English!   This course will help professional analog IC designers and aspiring students to uncover the full potential of the gm/ID methodology, understand it inside out, and discover a new designer-oriented paradigm for analog IC design!    Course information: https://lnkd.in/dJr-pdTf Course registration: https://lnkd.in/dtYREmtF Register now!

A record number of ~4,000 engineering students from Egypt applied this year to the intensive Analog IC Design Summer Diploma organized by the Information Technology Institute (ITI) as part of Egypt Makes Electronics (EME) Initiative. From this huge number, we selected 200 top students who completed this unique learning journey yesterday, alhamdulillah. The diploma is quite intensive: It has 45 lecture hours, 45 lab hours, and 90 hours of student work! It is a long journey that goes from nanometer MOSFET characteristics to advanced analog topics like common-mode feedback and reference circuits! A unique aspect of this diploma is the strong hands-on component. The students completed several design projects and used modern tools like the Analog Designer's Toolbox (#ADT) of Master Micro! We also had two industry speakers from Egypt and USA, Dr. Essam Atalla and Dr. Ahmed Elkholy, who enriched the students' experience and opened new frontiers for them. @𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗴𝘆𝗽𝘁! We have lots of fresh bright minds waiting for the next challenge! والحمد لله الذي بنعمته تتم الصالحات #mastermicro #adt #mastering_microelectronics #analog #analogdesign #analogicdesign #vlsi #cmos #microelectronics #electronics #engineering #technology

One of the tricky things for many analog designers is how to map the specs of a feedback amplifier to specs for the OTA itself, i.e., mapping from closed-loop to open-loop. For example, for a given closed-loop bandwidth, static gain error, and phase margin, what specs should go for the OTA itself? One option is simulate the closed-loop amplifier as a whole and keep tweaking it till it works. But this will hide many circuits insights and may lead to wrong and time-wasting design decisions. In these slides I take the ubiquitous capacitive feedback amplifier as an example, and show how this mapping can be done! Enjoy and share your feedback in the comments! Smart students who will find any mistakes in the analysis will receive a free Master Micro ADT license as an award! #mastermicro #adt #mastering_microelectronics #analog #analogdesign #analogicdesign #vlsi #cmos #microelectronics #electronics #engineering #technology #analogquiz
