Catalog Description

Basic single-stage transistor amplifiers. Low and high-frequency response of amplifiers. Multi-stage amplifiers. Differential amplifiers. Current mirrors. Feedback and stability in amplifiers. Power amplifiers. Experiments on single- and multi-stage amplifiers, the frequency response of amplifiers, differential amplifiers, power amplifiers, and metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) current sources.

Course Objectives

This course aims to provide a background on analog circuits, specifically bipolar junction transistor (BJT)- and MOSFET-based amplifiers used in discrete and integrated circuits. The frequency response of discrete circuit amplifiers and useful integrated circuit elements, such as constant-current sources, current mirrors, and current steering circuits, are included in the course. The course also covers differential amplifiers, output stages, and feedback and stability concepts in amplifiers.

Software Usage

MATLAB and LTspice®

Course Learning Outcomes
