Analog Electronic Circuit Design I
525.424
Course Description
This course examines the use of passive and active components to perform
practical electronic functions. Simple circuits are designed and evaluated
emphasizing the characteristics and tolerances of actual components. Devices
studied include diodes and bipolar and field effect transistors. Circuit designs
are studied in relation to the device characteristics, including small signal
amplifiers and oscillators and linear power supply and amplifier circuits. SPICE
modeling is available to students.
