- Prerequisites:
- EEC 110A
- Objectives:
This course is intended to develop the understanding of analog bipolar
integrated-circuit design. Students who have successfully completed
this course should:
- be able to explain the hybrid-pi model of the bipolar junction transistor,
- be able to analyze and design amplifier, current-mirror,
and output-stage circuits,
- be able to analyze the operation of an operational amplifier
at the transistor level,
- be able to use the Miller effect to find the bandwidth of a circuit,
- be able to use open-circuit
time constants to obtain
an estimate of the
of a circuit,
- be able to use the return ratio to analyze circuits with negative feedback,
- be able to determine the gain and phase margins of a negative-feedback
amplifier,
- be able to design a simple compensation scheme to stabilize a
negative-feedback amplifier,
- know how to use SPICE to simulate the characteristics of amplifiers,
current mirrors, and output stages, and
- be able to use laboratory equipment including signal generators
and oscilloscopes.
- Lab:
- The lab consists of eight experiments in nine weeks and
will be held in 2161/2157 Kemper Hall.
The experiments will be available on the canvas web page.
The lab schedule is shown below.

This sequence could change to
improve the alignment of the experiments with the lectures.
The scores
for experiments 1-7 will be weighted equally, and the weight for the
score for experiment 8 will be doubled. Also, your TA will evaluate
your experimental technique in the lab, and this
evaluation will be weighted as equal to the weight of experiment 8.
Also, note that instruction ends on campus on Thursday June 8.
So, lab will not be held on Friday June 9.
There will be a midterm exam and a final exam.
If quizzes are given, their dates will be announced in advance in class.
The midterm exam will be held on May 11.
The final exam will be held on Friday June 9 from 8:00 am - 10:00 am.
