EECE 3410 — Electronic Design
4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureusually offered: fall, springtypical days: ThBostonLive CastTraditional
Covers advanced analog and mixed-signal circuit analysis topics. Introduces analog integrated circuits (ICs) concepts with bipolar and field effect transistor devices. Covered IC building blocks include current sources and active loads, differential stages, cascode configurations, gain stages, and output stages. The uses of the building blocks are demonstrated for the design of popular ICs, such as operational amplifiers and voltage comparators. The high-frequency circuit models of transistors are described and used to evaluate the frequency responses of amplifiers. Introduces analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion concepts and the concepts of feedback and instability with applications to the design of amplifiers and oscillators. The course makes extensive use of the SPICE simulation tool for assignments and projects.
