Analog CMOS IC Design Project Ideas

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on project ideas for Analog CMOS IC Design using Cadence tools. Participants suggest designing an RS-485 transceiver IC, an audio amplifier IC, and a waveform generator IC for TV CRT horizontal and vertical drive. Additionally, they recommend exploring resources from Maxim and Linear Technology for further inspiration. A specific project idea includes creating a circuit for instrument linearization that processes three voltages to produce a quadratic output based on input voltage.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Cadence design tools
  • Understanding of Analog CMOS IC design principles
  • Knowledge of RS-485 communication standards
  • Basic concepts of circuit linearization techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research design methodologies for RS-485 transceiver ICs
  • Explore audio amplifier design techniques in Cadence
  • Learn about waveform generation for CRT applications
  • Investigate circuit design for instrument linearization using polynomial equations
USEFUL FOR

Dear All

I am looking forward to do a project in Cadence related to Analog CMOS IC Design and I need some project ideas that I can work on.

thanks

How about designing a RS-485 transceiver IC? Or an audio amp IC? Or a TV CRT horizontal and vertical drive waveform generator IC?

Look through websites like Maxim and Linear Technology to get ideas for analog IC projects...
 
How about a ciruit for instrument linearization?
It could take in three voltages for cal constants along with an input voltage and produce:
Vout = ax^2 + bx + c,
where x is the input
a, b, and c are constants between 0 and some reference voltage

:)
