🧭 How to Use This Course

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).

⚠️ Note: This is not a beginner's IC design course. A basic understanding of electronics and microelectronics is required.
