Long Title: ANALOG CIRCUIT DESIGN

Department: Electrical & Computer Eng.

Grade Mode: Standard Letter

Course Type: Lecture

Credit Hours: 3

Description: This course will cover transistor level analysis and design of analog circuits, with emphasis on intuitive design methods, quantitative performance measures, and practical circuit limitations. Students will use hand calculations and computer simulations to compare the results. This course will discuss the physics of bipolar and MOS transistors, low-frequency behavior of single-stage and multistate amplifiers, current sources, active loads, differential amplifiers, operational amplifiers, as well as supply and temperature independent biasing. It will also cover high-frequency response of amplifiers, feedback in electronic circuits, stability of feedback amplifiers, and noise in electronic circuits.
