Educational Goals:
This course provides Electrical Engineering
students with deep understanding of advanced
analog circuits, especially those based on
operational amplifiers (OpAmps), and gives
them on-hand experience in using OpAmps in a
variety of different applications, such as
amplifiers, filters, oscillators, wave-shaping
circuits and data converters. The class lecture
will address various important topics associated
with using OpAmp circuits, such as frequency
response, negative feedback, pole compensation
and stability control of amplifiers. The
laboratory component of the course provides
students an opportunity to design, simulate and
test various circuits discussed in class.
