HARD DEADLINE for lab reports: Wednesday Dec. 15th
Written re-re-examination: Thursday, August 25th, 2022, in E:2517 at 08:00-13.00
Course book, lecture printouts, 65nm CMOS process data sheet, and calculator ARE ALLOWED (but nothing else)
Comments:
Lectures:
Generally, only CMOS parts in the book are covered.
Pages in brackets are supplementary reading.
Exercises:
The 65nm CMOS Process Data Sheet (new version Autumn 2021) is to be used for all problems.
If MOSFET voltage ranges are given in the problem, please scale these ranges to the technology we use. For example, a supply voltage of 3V is not allowed in our technology, and this should thus be scaled to 1.2V instead.
SPICE simulations are left as an exercise to the student. Problems in brackets () are useful, but should not be prioritized.
(4th Edition Course book: The reading instructions and problem numbers for the 4th edition of the book are found here.)
