Together with [Efabless](https://https://efabless.com) there are cheap alternatives, like [tinytapeout](https://tinytapeout.com),
which makes it possible for a private citizen to tape-out their own integrated circuit.

# Syllabus
The syllabus will be from Analog Integrated Circuit Design (CJM) and Circuits for all seasons.
These lecture notes are a supplement to the book. I try to give some background, and how to think about electronics.
It's not my goal to repeat information that you can find in the book.
Buy a hard-copy of the book if you don't have that. Don't expect to understand the book by reading the PDF.

**Design a integrated temperature sensor with digital read-out**

<!--pan_doc:
An outline of the plan is shown below. There will be five milestones in all.
At the end of the project you will have a function that converts temperature to a digital value.
$$
D = f_0(T)
$$
,however, I've broken down the challenge into three steps, first convert Temperature into a current
$$
I = f_1(T)
$$
Then convert current into a time
$$
t = f_2(I)
$$
then time to digital
$$
D = f_3(t) = f_3(f_2(f_1(T))) = f_0(T)
$$
The fourth milestone is the report, while the fifth milestone is the layout.

## Group dynamics
How you work together is important. No-one can do everything by them self. I know from experience it can be
magical when bright brains come together. The collective brain can be smarter, better, faster, than anyone
in the group.
That's why I think it's important not to just work in groups, but also focus on how we work in groups.
A group shall be maximum 4 members. There must be at least 3 that don't know each-other that well.
The group will meet once per week, and shall have a discussion according to the outline below.
### First session of milestone
During the first group session of a milestone, you will
**Check-in (5 minutes)**
Each member of the group says how they feel. Some examples could be:
- My dog died yesterday, so I'm not feeling great today.
- I woke up early, had an omelette, and went running, so I feel motivated and fantastic.
- I feel *blaaah* today, motivation is lacking.
The point of this excersize is to get to know eachother a bit, and attempt to create pshycological safety in the group.
**Ideas (30 minutes)**
Come up with ideas for how the milestone could be implemented. What circuit ideas could work?
**Plan (10 minutes)**
Sketch out who does what the next week. What's the goal for the week.
**Reflect (2 minutes)**
In silence, think about the group dynamics. How did it go today? What was good?
What could be improved? Write down one word.
**Discuss (7 minutes)**
Each group member talks about their one word.
### Other sessions of a milestone
You shall always Check-in, Reflect and Discuss. Although some may consider it a waste of time, it's important to improve the
group dynamics.
**Review (30 minutes)**
Go through the plan from last week, what worked, what did not work, what should be done differently. Discuss.
**Plan (10 minutes)**
Sketch out who does what the next week. What's the goal for the week.
