1. Introduction to Analog Signal Processing (2 Weeks)
- Sample-data signal, Laplace, z-transform, approximation methods

2. Switched-Capacitor Filters (5 Weeks)
- Integrator, Stray capacitance and stray-insensitive integrators, biquads, ladder, frequency scaling

3. Non-filtering Applications of Switched-Capacitor Circuits (1 Week)
- Gain Stages, comparators, rectifiers, oscillators

4. Non-ideal Effects and System Considerations (2 Weeks)
- Non-ideal switches and capacitors, non-ideal op amp effects, noise, pre and post filtering, programmability.

1. LATE HOMEWORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!

2. Other versions of SPICE may be acceptable but HSPICE is preferable.

3. Students will also have to use Switcap when appropriate. This is particularly true for your projects.

4. Students need to learn MAGIC (or some other layout tool) to complete some of the assignments. A limited guide for MAGIC will be provided when appropriate.

5. Students will be expected to design and test one or more design projects. Students are expected to use HSPICE, Switcap, and Matlab or equivalent circuit and switched capacitor simulators, for design problems. It is also reccomended that students use MathCad or some other numerical and symbolic computer program to work on homework and design problems.
