Courses taught (and learnt more in that process!)

ESC201: Introduction to electronics

(Course homepage)

A foundational course on electronics that covers the basics in design and analysis of electronic circuits: both analog and digital.

Recorded lectures:
ESC201: Jan-May 2026     

EE610: Analog IC design - 1 &
EE613: High-frequency analog circuit design
 

(Course homepage)
(Course homepage)

These courses focus on the design of fully-differential multi-stage operational amplifiers, stabilizing negative feedback loops, frequency compensation techniques.

EE610 starts from non-linear networks, MOSFET & biasing techniques and finally covers multi-stage fully-differential amplifiers.

EE613 doesn't cover biasing, but instead the tail-end of the course focuses on non-linearity, and useful circuits employing opamp in negative feedback such as bandgap reference, constant-gm bias, etc.,

EE698W: Analog circuits for signal processing

(Course homepage)

The focus of this course is on linear periodically time varying (LPTV) networks, with focus on practically relevant analog circuits that are LPTV in nature and are extensively used in signal processing.
