Course Objectives
This course is an introduction to analog circuits using transistors and opamps. Students will be introduced to the importance of feedback in the design of analog circuits. Simple MOS transistor based circuits and an overview of Bipolar transistors circuits performing similar tasks as the MOS transistor based circuits will be covered. Students will also be introduced to analog systems, such as filters and oscillators.
Learning Outcomes
- Build and design circuits using transistors and opamps.
- Recognize and analyze the basic amplifiers and biasing arrangements.
- Understand the implication of frequency response on system-level performance of circuits.
