Description
Purpose: Advanced engineering courses are organized by MEAD Education in the framework of EuroTraining, during summer period 2012. The invited lecturers are top experts in the field, currently working at leading European and American companies, research institutes and universities active in IC design. Courses will be taught in English. Each attendee will receive a certificate of attendance at the course.

Learning objectives: These courses are aimed at providing engineers with up-to-date information on important current issues of design in analog and mixed-mode integrated circuits. In general, the content of the lectures covers introduction, state-of-the-art in the specific field and practical case studies. The intent is to give to the participants a broad coverage of hints and design methods to be applicable in practice.
