ECE 411 - Active Circuits I

Institution:

University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth

Subject:

Electrical and Computer Engineering

Description:

3 hours lecture Prerequisites: ECE 312 Design course in the manipulation and generation of signals using analog integrated circuits, especially operational amplifiers. Methods are developed to understand and control the impact of practical component limitations like input and output impedance, frequency response, offset voltages, bias currents and cost. Stability considerations and compensation techniques are studied, and students are introduced to noise considerations in circuit design. Students design, build, and test many of the circuits discussed in the course such as precision voltage and current sources, V/I and I/V converters, and active filters. Students work individually on small designs but in teams on larger ones.
