(1) The document describes homework assignment #4 for an analog IC design course. The assignment involves designing a two-stage operational amplifier that meets various specifications for DC characteristics, AC characteristics, and transient response. (2) Students are asked to design the amplifier by hand calculation and then use SPICE simulation to verify that the design meets all specifications. Simulation results are to be plotted and key parameters marked on the plots. (3) Specification compliance is to be summarized in a table for five process corners (typical, slow NMOS - fast PMOS, etc.). The netlist file is also to be uploaded to an FTP site using a specified subcircuit syntax before the deadline.
