Course Objectives
This course provides an introduction to the basic devices and circuits in modern microelectronics. Students will first learn basic semiconductor devices and electronic circuits composing of operational amplifier, current mirror, differential and cascode amplifier. This is one of the fundamental and pre-requested courses in photonics, electronics and electrical engineering.
Students will learn how to analyze the electronic circuits with equivalent models. Some fundamental applications of the components will also be covered (including the power amplifiers, oscillators, and filters).
Prerequisite
Textbook “Microelectronic Circuits” 7th edition, Sedra / Smith
“Microelectronics” 2nd edition, Behzad Razavi (optional)
Topical Outline Frequency Response
- MOS Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) circuit (Review)
- Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) circuit
Operational Amplifier
- Inverting / noninverting amplifier / differential amplifier circuit
- Integrator / differentiator / frequency response
Integrated Circuit Amplifier
- Current mirror /cascade amplifier (both BJT and MOSFET cases)
- Circuit configuration
Differential and Multistage Amplifier
- Differential amplifier operation (both BJT and MOSFET cases)
- Differential / common mode operation
