The students need finish one project which represents one stateoftheart design issue in modern integrated analog circuits. To accomplish the project, the students need utilize the circuit design and analysistechniquesdiscussedintheclasstoanalyze,simulateanddesignoneanalogcircuit.Hereisthe tentativescheduleandarrangementontheproject: Sept.26:ProjectAnnouncement(around610projectsforselection); Sept.2630:ProjectDiscussion&Selection(Thestudentscantakethistimeperiodtodiscusswiththe lecturerondetailsofeachproject.) 5:00pm,Sept.30:DeadlineofProjectSelection(Thestudentsmustinformthelectureroftheproject topic they select by then).
