Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course, the student will be able to:
1. Describe the open loop and closed loop behavior of op-amps.
2. Identify, describe behavior, and design standard op-amp circuits for amplification,
instrumentation, and filtering.
3. Specify the iv-characteristics of diodes, MOSFETs, and BJTs graphically and
analytically.
4. Identify device parameters from data sheets for diodes, MOSFETs, and BJTs.
5. Extract device parameters from iv-characteristics for diodes, MOSFETs, and BJTs.
6. Calculate DC or large signal currents & voltages in circuits containing diodes,
MOSFETs, and BJTs.
7. Identify, describe behavior, and design standard diode, MOSFET, and BJT circuits for
rectification, biasing, and digital logic.
8. Calculate small signal currents and voltages in circuits containing diodes, MOSFETs, and
BJTs.
9. Identify, describe behavior, and design standard MOS and BJT amplifier topologies and
design single stage MOS and BJT amplifiers.
10. Represent the small signal behavior of amplifier circuits using two port models.
11. Implement simple logic functions at the logic gate level.

Avenue To Learn:
There will be no website for this course. The course will have a page on Avenue To Learn,
McMaster’s electronic learning system, accessible at http://avenue.mcmaster.ca.
Communication:
I will use Avenue to Learn to post instructions on various components of the course. It is
critical that you consult Avenue frequently.
I will use mass emails in Avenue if I wish to communicate to the entire class urgently. If
you do not check your Avenue email regularly, it is your responsibility to forward those
emails to an account you do check and to ensure that your forwards are delivered to you
and do not go into a SPAM folder or get otherwise misdirected.
If you wish to communicate with me in this course, you must do so by sending email to my
university email: yaser@mcmaster.ca. Put the tag [3N03] in the subject line. Emails to my
Avenue account, emails to my McMaster account without the appropriate tag in the subject
line, and any other forms of communication may not be received by me and may not
receive a reply.
Assessment:
The course grade will be based on 1000 points assigned to student work and assessment tools as
detailed below. In addition, there will be 100 bonus points available through the course. Your
final mark will be your total number of points earned (including bonus points) divided by 10.

Only the McMaster standard calculator (Casio fx991) is allowed in exams.
The instructor reserves the right to determine the format for make-up for any
missed midterms. In particular, a make-up may be an oral exam, or a make-up may
not be offered (in which case the weight of the missed exam will be shifted to the
final).
Policy Reminders
Senate and the Faculty of Engineering require all course outlines to include the following
reminders:
“The Faculty of Engineering is concerned with ensuring an environment that is free of all
adverse discrimination. If there is a problem, that cannot be resolved by discussion among
the persons concerned, individuals are reminded that they should contact the Department
Chair, the Sexual Harassment Officer or the Human Rights Consultant, as soon as
possible.”
“Students are reminded that they should read and comply with the Statement on Academic
Ethics and the Senate Resolutions on Academic Dishonesty as found in the Senate Policy
Statements distributed at registration and available in the Senate Office.”
“Academic dishonesty consists of misrepresentation by deception or by other fraudulent
means and can result in serious consequences, e.g. the grade of zero on an assignment, loss
of credit with a notation on the transcript (notation reads: ‘Grade of F assigned for
academic dishonesty’), and/or suspension or expulsion from the university. It is your
responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty. For information on the
various kinds of academic dishonesty please refer to the Academic Integrity Policy,
specifically Appendix 3, located at
http://www.mcmaster.ca/senate/academic/ac_integrity.htm
“The following illustrates only three forms of academic dishonesty:
1. Plagiarism, e.g. the submission of work that is not one's own or for which other
credit has been obtained.
2. Improper collaboration in group work.
3. Copying or using unauthorized aids in tests and examinations.”
