Course Description
The course covers fundamental device characteristics including operational amplifiers,
diodes, MOS field-effect transistors, and bipolar junction transistors. The main gold is to
present the student to the concept of modeling and analysis of modeling as applied to
electronic devices and circuits.
Textbooks
 Required: Adel S. Sedra and Kenneth C. Smith, Microelectronics Circuits, Fifth Edition,
Oxford University Press, 2004, ISBN: 978-0-19-53383-6
 Reference Richard Jaeger and Travis Blalock, Microelectronic Circuit Design, Second
Edition, McGraw Hill, 2003, ISBN: 0072505036
Prerequisites
EENG 2610 Circuit Analysis
Course Objectives
This course provides introductory topics in analog electronics. Together with EENG 3520,
Electronics II, it constitutes the foundation for integrated analog circuit analysis and
synthesis. At the end of the class, the student should be able to:
 Describe how electrical and computer engineering uses or benefits from electronics;
 Explain with justification the properties of operational amplifiers, diodes, MOS fieldeffect transistors, and bipolar junction transistors;
 Demonstrate the ability to implement a range of logic functions using dynamic logic
and bipolar logic;
 Model, analyze and to a certain level synthesize circuits containing a few transistors.
General Policies:

Class attendance is mandatory

Students are strongly encouraged to get to know each other in the class.
Discussions on course materials are allowed.

Everyone must turn in her/his own individual work. Simply copying others
homework will be treated as a violation of academic honesty.
