ECE 285 - Circuits and Systems Lab: Active

System design using electrical and computer engineering concepts. Design, evaluate, build, test, and debug nonlinear analog circuits using independent and dependent voltage and current sources. Topics will include circuit analysis techniques and design for nonlinear elements such as amplifiers, diodes, bipolar, and MOS transistors. Use of small-signal and large-signal techniques to analyze and design transistor circuits with examples focused on single and multistage amplifiers. Frequency response analysis of microelectronic circuits including magnitude and phase response. Introduction to computer circuit simulation. Lecture and lab components are in corresponding, co-requisite courses.
