The students design analog VLSI layouts, extract thenetlists and simulate the circuit behavior. The transistor sizing in analog VLSI layouts is alsodiscussed.Upon the completion of this course, students are able to design and analyze basic analog andmixed-signal CMOS VLSI circuits. They get to know various analog/mixed-signal VLSIcircuits such as current sources and sinks, amplifiers, S/H circuits, switching-capacitancecircuits, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, etc. They are expected to be ableto design analog VLSI layouts, decide transistor sizing, and

Z80 was selected for the CPUrather than an 8086 for several reasons. First and foremost, the 8086 is no longer manufactured.Second, the Z80’s clock is DC-coupled, allowing students to single-step through instructions fordebugging (the 8086 requires a 2 MHz minimum clock speed). Third, the Z80 is a popularprocessor among hobbyists and in industry and is supported by a rich set of peripheral interfacecomponents and projects. Fourth, the Z80 provides completely independent data and addressbuses; on the 8086, the lower eight bits of the address bus are multiplexed with the data bus,which students can find confusing. In addition, since the Z80 is based on the 8080, Z80instructions are very similar to basic x86 instructions. As an added benefit

This type of instruction has become increasingly importantin recent years, particularly to engineers and other technical professionals. While it isimpractical to try to cover all of the ACRL information literacy standards in a research guide,they are well suited to address portions of Standard One (Know) and Standard Two (Access) [1,4].
