Course Code: KIE4021
Course Title: Analog Electronics Design
Credit Hour: 2
Course Description: The goal of this course is to establish a background on analog circuits, specifically on BJT- and MOSFET-based amplifiers used in discrete circuits and integrated circuits, namely the microelectronic circuits. The frequency response of discrete circuit amplifiers will also be covered in this course. Furthermore, some useful integrated circuit elements based on these two transistors will be introduced and analyzed as well; and these elements include constant-current sources, current mirrors and current steering circuits. The course also aims to cover the differential amplifiers, gain stage, level shifters and output stages, as well as the feedback and stability concept in the amplifiers. Basic concepts of oscillators, PLL and voltage regulators are covered.
