Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

Description:

Continuation of EE 221. Analysis of differential and multi-stage amplifiers, current sources, and active loads. Characteristics and applications of analog integrated circuits with emphasis on the design of operational amplifier circuits. Use of feedback in discrete and integrated circuit amplifiers. Introduction to digital logic and MOSFET logic gates. Laboratory includes prototyping, testing, and computer simulation of circuits that demonstrate the principles studied in the lecture. Prerequisite: EE 221 (Electronics I). Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Design basic operational amplifier circuits including linear and nonlinear amplifiers, active filters, sinusoidal oscillators, integrators, and differentiators. (2) Relate the internal architecture of operational amplifiers to their non-ideal characteristics such as input offset voltage, input bias current, and finite gain. (3) Identify and analyze common subsystems of analog integrated circuits including differential and multistage amplifiers, current sources, and active loads. (4) Explain the characteristics and applications of integrated circuits such as Schmitt triggers, analog-digital converters, multivibrators, and voltage regulators. (5) Design feedback networks for single- and multi-stage amplifiers to achieve the desired gain and frequency response. (6) Identify the characteristics and applications of MOSFET logic gates. (7) Construct, troubleshoot, and test low-voltage circuits using prototyping boards, multimeters, signal generators, and oscilloscopes. (8) Relate the observed behavior of a circuit to its predicted behavior and identify the cause of any discrepancies. (9) Use industry-standard simulation software to confirm the observed behavior of prototype circuits and to study additional circuits without constructing their prototypes. (10) Document their work in accurate, attractive, and informative laboratory reports. (11) Adhere to recommended safety practices for working with tools and test equipment.
