Description:
The course is about designing the fundamental block of all the analog systems, which is the voltage reference. Voltage references (Vref ) are ubiquitous building blocks in most electronic circuits and systems. They are used to generate process, supply and temperature (PVT) invariant voltages in various analog modules such as Analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) converters, voltage regulators,relaxation oscillators, sensor interfaces, DRAMS, flash memories, power-on-reset (PoR) circuits and radio-frequency (RF) communication devices. Due to the development of power-aware applications like the emerging Internet-of-Things (IoT), designing voltage references with low power consumptionwill be of paramount importance since they are typically always-on to ensure robust performance of theaforementioned modules. The IoT nodes also demand other stringent requirements like working at low supply voltages and low area occupancy for the voltage references apart from low power consumption. The state-of-the-art comprises of many such low-power voltage references, each having their own advantages and limitations. A compact understanding and comparison of all the low-power references will lay a good foundation to design or choose a voltage reference for this new and emerging application space.What You'll Learn from this Course:1) Learn what are PVT/Mismatch variations and how they translate to electrical parameters.2) Define voltage reference w.r.t variations and have a look at a sample specification sheet.3) Design PTAT and CTAT elements of voltage reference and analyze process variations.4) Understand different architectures of voltage references and analyze the effect of PVT in each architecture.5) Understand how to choose an architecture based on spec sheet and consider other trade-offs.
