Analysis and Design with Integrated Circuits

(3 credits)

Description : Analysis and design of functional circuits such as integrators, band-pass amplifiers, regulators using manufacturer’s data sheets for integrated circuits and the practical limitations of the integrated circuits.

Prerequisites: ECE/COE 0041, ECE257, ECE1201, ECE1212

Text : Electronic Design with Off-the-Shelf Integrated Circuits , by Kusic, Meiksin, and Thackray, (notes available at the Pitt Bookstore), Design and Applications of Integrated Circuits by S. Soclof, Prentiss-Hall, 1991

Course Objectives : Interpretation and use of manufacturer’s integrated circuit data sheets to implement a design objective with the limitations imposed by the circuits and external components. Practical design instead of theoretically ideal circuits.

Topics Covered: Designing with ideal and real op-amps, internal structure of IC’s, noise in components and IC’s, designing low noise circuits, oscillators and waveform generators, light-emitting diodes and linear circuits, nonlinear circuits, comparators, linear regulators, switched voltage regulators, dc/dc converters, grounding and shielding.

Class/Laboratory Schedule: Two 75-minute lectures per week.

Professional Component Contribution: While learning a variety of design techniques, students learn to account for real-world problems in a design and the constraints imposed on a design by the technology of the components used.
