With the advent of RF and 5G applications, there is so much demand for good analog designers in industry and there are hardly few institutes attempting to work on this. VSD students did build some analog IPs in the past and almost everyone is doing good in their respective domain. That experience brings us to make this bold attempt of expanding analog education to more people - especially the ones looking for profile change or fresh students looking to start their
career in analog.
Since I have almost explored all fields like EDA, PD, STA, RISC-V, FPGA, digital, analog and mixed-signal, let me tell you something about analog - we have seen students and participants getting chills when we had allotted analog projects. The most dropouts were for analog, but the most successful high-paying, multiple offers VLSI industry placements happened to ones who completed our analog projects. So here's a project, with exclusive mentorship
from our industry partner who has spent decades in analog design
