About this course
Course promise
This is the AMS interface course for digital leaders. It teaches how to convert analog assumptions into explicit contracts, measurable evidence, and release-safe decisions.
Boundary contracts before tuning tricks.
PLL jitter, SerDes training, ADC/DAC wrappers, and mixed-signal floorplan decisions.
Noise/IR/package awareness tied to signoff outcomes.
Every topic follows boundary -> mechanism -> metric -> artifact -> owner -> regression.
