The recorded lectures are available here. You can also find lectures from previous years at the same link. The NPTEL online course Analog Circuits also covers a portion of the material.
Assignments will be posted below. You are expected to solve them on your own. You should submit each one by 09:00AM of the due date mentioned. Copying will carry strict penalties.
Topics include analog and digital integer-N phase-locked loops (PLLs). Building blocks include phase/frequency detectors, charge-pump, LC/ring-oscillators, multi-modulus frequency dividers, active/passive loop-filter, etc.
To develop intuition behind frequency synthesizer design, learning mathematical basis behind operation, and realizing PLLs at architecture and transistor level.
Attendance will be strictly enforced.
