Course Outline
The follow on course to ECE231 Introductory Electronics, this course covers the fundamentals of analog
electronics.
Topics: transistor amplifiers, including differential and multistage amplifiers, integrated circuit biasing
techniques, output stage design and IC amplifier building blocks. Frequency response of amplifiers at
low, medium and high frequencies. Feedback amplifier analysis. Stability and compensation techniques
for amplifiers using negative feedback.

Tutorials
Tutorials are weekly, 1-hour sessions. TAs will review concepts, cover sample and give students
time to work and discuss problems in small groups. Be active - participation is the key to learning
the material and developing your skills as an analog circuit designer.
Labs))
There is one introductory session and 5 laboratory experiments. These labs give students experience
with circuit simulation, and with the design and debugging of practical electronic circuits. Students
work in teams of two.
• You can find a lab partner at the time of the lab information session.
• Each student keeps a bound lab book to document their work.
• The lab handouts will be available from the course website.

We will use the ‘Questions’ area of CoursePeer for questions and discussion about homework,
labs, tests, and course concepts. Remember that it is a public forum and that your postings are
professional communications that should be respectful of others.
Our goal is to encourage discussion amongst students, so don't simply wait for an answer from
your TA or instructor - take part in the discussion of questions that are posted. We'll be actively
monitoring the discussion and giving feedback.
Questions)and)Email
)
Most questions relating to the course material should be posted on the discussion board. Please
reserve email for individual inquiries such as handling a missed quiz, requesting a meeting, etc.
Send email to ta331@eecg.utoronto.ca which is monitored by both the TAs and instructors.
