Introduction to Electronic Circuits

3 units

Analysis and design of linear and nonlinear electronic circuits. Detailed analysis of operational amplifier circuits, including non-ideal characteristics. Terminal characteristics of active semiconductor devices. Incremental and DC models for diodes, metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs). Design and analysis of single- and multi-stage amplifiers. Introduction to CMOS logic as well as static and dynamic memory circuits. Students will be required to design, analyze, build and demonstrate several of the circuits studied, including frequency response analysis and use of simulation tools.
