Course Information
Catalog Course Description
Concepts of basic semiconductor devices (PN junctions, MOSFETs and BJTs);design of DC bias circuits; DC/AC models of semiconductor devices; Frequency response, small/large-signal analysis of devices/circuits;single-stage, multistage and differential amplifiers; feedback and stability concepts in amplifiers; the use of CAD tools (e.g., Multisim/Pspice) in circuit design and analysis;the use of lab tools/equipments for designing and testing of dc operating points and frequency response of devices, single-and multistage amplifiers.
Course Learning Outcomes:
| 1. | Ability to analyze physical operation, including temperature effect and breakdown mechanisms, current voltage characteristics, and DC operation/biasing of PN diode/structure and BJT/MOSFET devices/transistors/physical structures |
|---|---|
| 2. | Ability to apply DC biasing concept to maximize/optimize the performance of devices (BJT/MOSFET) and discrete amplifier designs |
| 3. | Ability to generate AC/small-signal models of BJT/MOSFET transistors and applying these models for the realization of discrete amplifier designs/configurations with respect to design objective (small-signal gain, input/output impedance and signal swing range, power consumption) |
| 4. | Ability to analyze the low/high-frequency response of BJT/MOSFET, including internal capacitance effects, and BW calculations |
| 5. | Ability to design and analyze MOSFET/BJT-based different amplifier concepts, including CS-CE, CG-CB, CD-CC, Cascade and Cascode configurations, with respect to performance parameters (gain, BW, input/out impedances and voltage swing range, power consumption) |
| 6. | Understanding the feedback concepts in discerete amplifiers (positive and negative) and analyzing basic feedback topologies |
Course Objective
To teach the structures, physical operation, terminal characteristics, large- and small-signal models, amplifier and switch applications of transistors (BJT's and FET's) and reinforce these concepts through additional exercises and design problems through recitations.

Technology Requirements:
Calculators:
An electronic hand calculator is necessary for both the exams and homework in this class. A programmable calculator or one that offers an equation “solver” function is not required, but strongly recommended. Students are responsible for knowing how to use their own calculators.
Computers and Software:
This class will also involve computer simulation of circuits using PSPICE. This program will be available on the course web-site for downloading or you obtain the same PSPICE student version software from the OrCAD website: http://www.orcad.com. Be sure to use PSpice 9.1 student edition. This includes PSpice A/D, Capture, Schematics, and PSpice Optimizer. Only PSpice A/D and Capture will be used in this course.

Implementation:
Lecture attendance strongly recommended since you are responsible for any material covered in class.
Classroom concepts are reinforced through recitations, implementing design exercises and homework problems.
Two in-class exams and one final exam will be implemented. It is in your best interest to attend all exams on the date of their delivery. Conflicts must be stated before the fact. Failure to attend an exam or to make previous arrangements results in a score of zero.
Incompletes are not given out as course grades as a consequence of missing an exam or homework assignment. Examinations are closed-book, closed-notes, and closed homework. Single sheets of summary equations are, however, permitted.
