Electronics II

Welcome to the "Electronics II" course. The course includes a brief introduction to the manufacture of integrated VLSI circuits along with the practical aspect of polarization techniques and thermal stabilization of both discrete and integrated bipolar transistors. The following is the analysis and design of polarization and amplification circuits with JFETs and MOSFETs in both discrete and in integrated form. They studied also power amplifiers class A, AB, complementary symmetry, etc. At the same time students are exposed to the environment of use ORCAD which have been given from the previous semester. The labor supply given to students counted in the score of June only.

Objectives

To give the student a firm grounding in the analysis and design of MOS and bipolar analog amplifier circuits. Topics covered: MOSFET: NMOS and PMOS transistors; Load-line analysis of a simple NMOS amplifier; Bias circuits; Small-signal equivalent circuits; Common-source amplifiers; Source followers Single-stage amplifier configurations with emphasis on MOS, other technologies (e.g. BJT) for comparison. Multi-stage amplifiers, cascode, Darlington connections, complementary symmetry output stages. A four week introduction to SPICE is also offered in the Departmental PC Lab.
