Electronics I

Catalog description

This is the first course in a two-course sequence in analog electronic circuit design. The course covers the following topics: (1) Basic MOSFET current-voltage characteristics; (2) DC and small-signal analysis and design of Metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices and circuits, including single-stage MOS amplifier configurations; (3) DC biasing circuits, such as basic current sources and current mirrors; (4) Two-transistor amplifier stages, such as differential amplifiers, cascode amplifiers, and output stages; (5) Analysis and design of multistage amplifiers; (6) Frequency response of single and multistage amplifiers; (7) Semiconductor diodes and diode circuits, including rectifying and clamping circuits, as well as Zener diode-based voltage regulation; (8) Ideal operational amplifier (op amp) circuits in non-inverting and inverting configurations.
