Objectives: This course is intended to develop the understanding of analog bipolar integrated-circuit design. Students who have successfully completed this course should:

  1. be able to explain the hybrid-pi model of the bipolar junction transistor,
  2. be able to analyze and design amplifier, current-mirror, and output-stage circuits,
  3. be able to analyze the operation of an operational amplifier at the transistor level,
  4. know how to use SPICE to find the characteristics of amplifiers, current mirrors, and output stages,
  5. be able to use laboratory equipment including signal generators and oscilloscopes,
  6. be able to contribute effectively to a group design project, and
  7. be able to write an effective lab report.


The lab consists of six experiments and one design project and is held in 2157 and 2161 Kemper Hall. The lab manual is available at the book store. The lab schedule is shown below.

Note that the order in which the experiments will be conducted differs from the sequence in the lab manual. The purpose of this change is to align the experiments with the textbook and the lectures. The scores for the experiments will be weighted equally, and the score for the design project will be weighted as equal to three experiments. Your TA will also evaluate your experimental technique in the lab, and this evaluation will be weighted as equal to one experiment.
There will be three quizzes, one in-class midterm exam, and a two-hour final exam. The quizzes will be held on October 17, November 7, and December 5th. The midterm exam will be held on November 14. The final exam will be held on Wednesday December 13 from 8:00 am - 10:00 am.
