HWN - Advanced Analog IC Design: Lecture 4

Hi fellow (and future) engineers!
Patreon: / hardwareninja
Lecture 3 - MOS Models for Design
Lecture 4 - Design-Driven Small Signal Models
We asked the community if we should upload IC design courses, and you guys answered with a resounding YES! Here it is. The first lecture of our remastered series on Advanced Analog IC Design. Please consider supporting us through Patreon.
Welcome back to another episode of Hardware Ninja! Ever wondered how to get a job as a Hardware Designer in some of the top tech companies like Microsoft, Google, Tesla, Apple, Facebook, etc?
The interview process employs many application based questions whether you're a recent college grad or an experienced applicant. It doesn't matter if you want to work for Elon Musk, Tim Cook, or the up and coming start-up you heard about. We're here with curated material of real life technical interview questions.
Please consider subscribing to the channel and supporting our movement. Prospective job seekers (including yourself some day) will benefit from this resource.

Thanks for re uploading. I recall watching this class on the old format. The circuit he provides to help sizing transistors at around 59:00 really helped me in my early days as a designer.

Thank you for Analog IC Design course. please upload more lectures.. its more informational than reading a entry level book or two as student studying in Institute.

Why did you stop interview series?? Please continue

Just in case if you want to make another video about interviews. I had an interview for entry level hardware design and they asked me a lot about projects, experience and other staff. One specific question was: if I give you an ambigous instruction, for instance I need to power a FPGA 1.8V and the current is 1.3A. We have 5V and there is a restriction with the space, what do you do? I gave them at the beginning one answer and then during the interview I saw my mistake (bc I was nervous ) and I rectified my previous answer. So basically I went at the beginning for the best performance which is SMPS (power efficiency) and explain myself why; however I realized that the only restraint was space nothing more. I told them that my only restraint was space so should be LDO bc is a smaller design, easier to design comparing to the SMPS; however it will e a tradeoff on efficiency. Later, they answer the question and they want to see how the candidate thinks and a good answer would be BOTH hahahahahaa. As an engineer I should show both solution with their pros and cons
