Learning Objectives
This course is an introductory graduate-level course on analog circuits and systems. Students will analyze the internal construction of an op-amp and its implications on circuit performance. They will review elements of feedback and stability as applicable to analog circuits. Additionally, they will explore applications of analog circuits in building various systems, including power amplifiers, DC-DC converters, filters, oscillators, and Phase-Locked Loops, and be introduced to design guidelines for choosing commercially available Analog-Digital/Digital-Analog converters.
Learning Outcomes
- Design and build circuits using transistors and op-amps.
- Analyze the internal design aspects of op-amps and understand the design constraints of analog systems.
- Design power amplifiers, DC-DC converters, filters, oscillators, phase-locked loops.
- Choose appropriate Analog-Digital/Digital-Analog converters based on design metrics.
