Hi Jerry,
Cool to know you are taking up the course on Data Converters at UCSD....
[...I had an admit from UCSD...Had it not been for the financial aid
![Sad Sad](https://designers-guide.org/forum/Templates/Forum/default/sad.gif)
, i might have been there studying under you....]
But anyways, since right now i am not, i guess i can comment/compliment

The Noise in Mixed Signals IC's lecture is really a very comprehensive one. It kinda includes most of the points. I will read it attentively when i have some more time.
The one on Simulation vs. Silicon is a bit more of a superficial knowledge of everything without a deep investigation of a particular topic.
I guess you gotta be the Jack of all Trades sometimes ![Tongue Tongue](https://designers-guide.org/forum/Templates/Forum/default/tongue.gif)
The topic you are addressing is itself comprised of statistics mostly. It's all about yields and failures. You could include some statistics.
Also, where you talk about Separation of Digital and Analog Domain, you could include some
fundas of STAR routing etc to prevent direct noise coupling from digital side. Also, you could include some topic on how to create measurement setups for final fab'ed chip and what care should be taken in those measurement setups.
Nice lectures overall. Pleasure reading [ esp. the Nosie in MS chips one]
