Fundamentals of Solid-State Circuits

1.5 Course Unit

Analysis and design of basic active circuits involving semiconductor devices including diodes and bipolar transistors. Single stage, differential, multi-stage, and operational amplifiers will be discussed including their high frequency response. Wave shaping circuits, filters, feedback, stability, and power amplifiers will also be covered. A weekly three-hour laboratory will illustrate concepts and circuits discussed in the class. Spring Prerequisites: Students must take ESE 2150 before taking ESE 3190. 1.5 Course Unit
