## 🧭 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.

## 📂 Navigating the Repository
|
||
|
||
- **Go to the `modules/` folder**
|
||
Each subfolder contains multiple markdown files under each part explaining the full tutorial for that module in detail.
|
||
|
||
- **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.
