Welcome to the IHP Analog Certificate Course!
Welcome to the **IHP Analog Certificate Course**, part of the publicly funded FMD-QNC project (16ME083) by the **Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR)**.
More info: [FMD-QNC Project Website](https://www.elektronikforschung.de/projekte/fmd-qnc)
This course introduces analog, RF, and mixed-signal IC design using open-source tools and the IHP Open PDK, focused on the 130 nm SG13G2 technology.
🔍 How to Use This Repository
---
Start with the modules/ folder
Each module contains a dedicated Markdown file with step-by-step tutorials, tools, and explanations. Follow them to learn each topic hands-on.
## 🧭 How to Use This Course
Refer to the slides/ folder for context
This contains PowerPoint slides used in the in-person version of the course.
Note: These are not intended for standalone learning, as some content was explained live.
This course provides a hands-on introduction to analog, RF, and mixed-signal IC design using **open-source tools** and the **IHP Open PDK (SG13G2 130nm technology)**.
🧱 Course Structure
> ⚠️ **Note:** This is *not* a beginner's IC design course. A basic understanding of electronics and microelectronics is required.
The course is organized into the following modules:
---
Foundations — Tool setup, gm/Id intro, and basic simulations
## 📂 Navigating the Repository
Bandgap Reference — OTA design, simulation, and layout
- **Go to the `modules/` folder**
Each subfolder contains a `README.md` or similar markdown file explaining the full tutorial for that module in detail.
50 GHz Medium Power Amplifier — RF design, matching, nonlinear sims, EM
- **Use the `slides/` folder for reference only**
These are PowerPoint slides from the in-person course at IHP.
They’re *not* intended to be followed alone for self-study, as some content was delivered live and may lack context.
8-bit SAR ADC — Comparator design, mixed-signal co-simulation
---
Each module builds on the previous, so we recommend going through them in order.
## 🧱 Course Modules
| Module | Topic |
|--------|-----------------------------------|
| 0 | Foundations (tools + gm/Id flow) |
| 1 | Bandgap Reference |
| 2 | 50GHz Medium Power Amplifier |
| 3 | 8-bit SAR ADC |
Each module builds on the last, combining theory with practical exercises.
