Learning objectives
The course aims to provide students with theoretical and practical skills in general Electronics. Starting from the operating principles of semiconductor junctions we will study, implement and characterize analog electronic circuits containing diodes and bipolar transistors, such as peak detectors, voltage multipliers, stabilized power supplies, transistor amplifiers.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students will be able to
1. Discuss the working principles of diodes and bipolar transistors.
2. Compute the quiescent point, the small-signal gain, and the bandwidth of single-stage transistor amplifiers.
3. Design and realize transistor amplifiers in common-emitter, common-collector, common-base, cascode, and differential configurations.
4. Analyze, realize, and experimentally characterize a basic three-stage operational amplifier in terms of gain, bandwidth, slew-rate, output voltage swing.
5. Discuss and design current mirrors.
6. Design a stabilized power supply.
7. Design clipping, clamping, peak-detector, charge pump circuits.
8. Discuss the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem and the basics of Sample-and-Hold circuits and Analog-to-Digital converters.
