About Us ABET ECE 1286Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits(3 credits) Description: Multiple transistor circuits, internal structure of operational amplifiers. Current sources and current steering circuits, active loads. Frequency response of directly coupled, capacitively coupled and tuned amplifiers. Analysis and design of multistage amplifiers. Feedback and frequency compensation in operational amplifiers. Prerequisites: ECE 0257 Text: Microelectronic Circuits, Sedra & Smith, Oxford, 5 th ed., 2004. Course Objectives: To develop in the student the ability to design single and multistage amplifiers using approximate methods which are based on time constant calculation and related frequency response. Check design results using SPICE. Design IC amplifiers. Become familiarized with integrated circuits and several different feedback designs. Topics Covered: Multiple transistor circuits. The difference amplifier: large signal analysis, linear region of operation, small signal analysis, common mode rejection ratio. The Darlington amplifier. non-ideal characteristics of the differential amplifier. The cascade amplifier: DC analysis, small signal analysis. Biasing in integrated circuits: current sources and current steering circuits, active loads, practical op-amp, example of a complete op-amp. Frequency response of operational amplifiers. BICMOS amplifiers. The transistor (BJT & FET) at low frequencies: exact method of analysis for different configurations, approximate methods of analysis. The transistor at high frequencies, transistor hybrid model, exact method of analysis, approximate methods of analysis including Miller effect approximation and zero-value time constant analysis. multistage amplifiers (approximate methods of analysis, computer simulation of circuits using SPICE), output stages and power amplifiers, tuned amplifiers (single tuned amplifiers, impedance matching to improve gain, the synchronously tuned amplifier, gain-bandwidth product). Class Schedule: Lectures twice a week for 75 minutes each. Professional Component Contributions: Students learn how to take the abstract ideas of electromagnetic field theory and apply them to describe the behavior of devices.
