🚩 Course Overview and Objectives

This course is an advanced training program designed for engineers designing high-sensitivity analog circuits and sensor-based systems. It systematically covers the operating principles and trade-offs of low-noise and low-power circuits, micro-current measurement techniques, constant current source design, and sensor interface architecture.

Based on 35 years of practical experience by Professor Cho Sung-jae from Shinhan University,
this course provides in-depth coverage of key aspects in high-precision measurement circuit design: noise and sensitivity degradation issues in low-noise/low-power design, error factors in IV Converters in the pA~nA range, constant current source structures based on TR, OP AMP, and FET, practical design considerations for ADC input voltage conversion, and sensor interface configuration by sensor type.
