Why Analog is interesting?
• There is not one solution to a problem
– Each one can arrive at same solution via different routes
– It depends on the creativity of individuals
slide 3
Why do we need Analog?
• World is analog, unless you look at quantum
levels
• All signals by nature is analog
– Some signal conditioning is done in analog before A-
D
– All processing in done in digital
– Signal transmitted back to world in analog
An example
DSP
ADC DAC

ELL 731 Grading
• Minor : 20 points Points Grade
• Major : 30 points 80- A
100
• Project : 35 points
70-80 A-
• Assignment : 10 point 60-70 B
• Active Participation * : 5 point 50-60 B-
• Absolute Grading 40-50 C
• All points will be rounded to the nearest integer 35-40 C-
slide 7
Project
• Major Learning is done through project
• Project has lot of weightage.
• Form a Team of 2 or 3
– Design ideal model of ADC (cadence or matlab)
– Incorporate non-idealities
– Study its effect on ADC performance
– Corelate with theory in class
• Each Individual
– Design a Sch of comparator/sampler/Digital Logic

ELL 731 Project
Project Deadline Grade Deliverable
Project Topic Feb 1 2022 5 ADC Architecture Selection, Team
Selection Members, Specifications
Initial March 1 20 Ideal Model Sims, Study of impact
2022 of nonidealities on the architecture
Final Report March 26 10 Schematic sim
2022
• Final Report
• All schematics should be done across corners, FF,SS,TT, -40,125
• No extension of the deadlines whatsoever may be reason
– Please don’t ask for it
slide 9
ELL 731 Honor Code
• Cheating in any form will incur serious penalities
– Remember grading is absolute
– Found in any project or exams will result in 0 point
– Remaining portion of the grade will be scaled by 50%
• For eg found cheating once in tutorial 1
– Your score = 0 in tut1 +0.5(score of remaining tutorials)
– Report to DISCO, IIT Delhi
– Second time cheating in tutorial say 5
– Your score = 0 in tut1+ 0 in tut5 + 0.25(score of remaining tutorials)
• We will trust you and we will try not to tempt you
• Try not to place us in this unpleasant situation
