Analysis and Design of Analog Circuits
The course introduces the student to the fundamentals of the analysis and design of basic analog circuits. Topics include: operational amplifier design, basic amplifier feedback theory, frequency stability and compensation, dc bias calculations and circuits, MOSFET and BJT large- and small-signal device models, small-signal gain and frequency response characteristics of amplifiers, large-signal characteristics and nonidealities. In the hardware laboratory the student will gain experience designing, building, and characterizing analog circuits. The students will also learn how to use the SPICE circuit simulation program to compare actual and simulated performance.
Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying engineering fundamentals, basic science and mathematics.Utilize contemporary technologies, codes of practice and standards, quality guidelines, health and safety requirements, environmental issues and risk management principles.Communicate effectively – graphically, verbally and in writing – with a range of audiences using contemporary tools.Design, model and analyze an electrical, electronic, microwave and optical system or component for a specific ICT application and identify the tools required to optimize this design.Evaluate the performance and suitability of an electrical and electronic system and circuit under specific input excitation.
