Objective

The course is about the analysis of electronic circuits containing semiconductor diodes, bipolar junction transistors and MOS transistors, and the design of electronic circuits for applications like rectifiers, amplifiers, oscillators and digital logics. Operation of diodes and transistors and their circuit models are introduced. Both DC and AC circuit analysis and designs are included.

Students must have taken ELE1110 Basic Circuit Theory before taking this course. The knowledge taught in this course is essential for students to take more advanced courses on circuit analysis and design, such as ELE3210, ELE5210, and ELE5280.

Syllabus

• PN junction diode
• MOS transistors and amplifiers
• Bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and amplifiers
• Multi-stage amplifiers and output stages
• Frequency analysis
• Feedback and oscillator

Learning Outcome

After the completion of this course, students are expected to be able to

• Understand the operation of PN junction diode, MOS and BJT transistors
• Analyze simple diode and transistor circuits
• Design single-stage amplifiers, including bias circuit design
• Apply negative feedback in circuit design
• Design simple oscillators using op-amp or transistors
