Aims :

The course aims to give the fundamental bases of analog electronics and the necessary tools for the analysis of elementary circuits implemented with both linear and nonlinear devices such as BJT and MOSFET transistors.

Topics :

The Operational Amplifier: The ideal Op-Amp, circuital applications, The non-ideal Op-Amp.;
Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs).:Current-voltage characteristics; The BJT as an amplifier, biasing in BJT amplifier circuits.
Differential and Multistage amplifiers: Large signal analysis, small signal analysis. General analysis of differential amplifier: common-mode and differential gains. Biasing ICs: current mirrors. Active-loaded differential amplifier.
Frequency response of the amplifiers.
Output Stages and Power Amplifiers: Class A, B and AB output stages
Feedback: Properties of the negative feedback; the four basic feedback topologies: series-series, shunt-shunt, series-shunt, shunt-series.
