====== Course Outline ====== The course outline is a guideline to topics that will be discussed in the course, and when they will be discussed: ===== Week 1 (Week of Jan. 5) ===== Introduction to signals and amplifiers {{:lec_1_w_15.pdf|here}} ---- ---- ---- ===== Week 2 (Week of Jan. 12)===== Operational Amplifiers {{:lec_2_w_15.pdf|opamp}} ---- ---- ---- ===== Week 3 (Week of Jan. 19) ===== LAB 1 ---- ---- ---- ===== Week 4 (Week of Jan. 26) ===== Diodes {{:diodes_1.pdf|part 1}} ---- ---- ---- ===== Week 5 (Week of Feb. 2)===== LAB 2 Diodes {{:diodes_2.pdf|Part 2}} ---- ---- ---- ===== Week 6 (Week of Feb. 9)===== **Quiz 1** Tuesday Tutorial -- Monday 4:30-5:30 ACW 003 CMOS: Introduction {{:cmos_1.pdf|Operation}} ---- ---- ---- ===== Reading Week - No Classes ===== ---- ---- ---- ===== Week 7 (Week of Feb. 23)===== LAB 3 the lab manual is posted in LABS section -- since the lab is posted late, you can submit the prelab a week later The solution for assignment 2 is posted in Assignments section **Midterm** ---- ---- ---- ===== Week 8 (Week of Mar. 2)===== ---- ---- ---- ===== Week 9 (Week of Mar. 9)===== ---- ---- ---- ===== Week 10 (now 9) (Week of Mar. 16)===== labs will start this week. (MOSFET lab) Look at LABS to include a library in PSPICE CMOS continue {{:cmos_2.pdf|}} Assignment 3 has been posted Small signal model {{:mos_small_signal.pdf|}} ===== Week 11 (now 10) (Week of Mar. 23)===== Quiz 2 (MOSFET) the quiz is on Thursday MOSFET as amplifiers {{:mos_amplifier.pdf|}} **NO LAB** ---- ---- ---- ===== Week 12 (now 11) (Week of Mar. 30)===== **Free LAB (project)** BJT transistors part_1 {{:bjt_part_1.pdf|here}} part 2{{:bjt_part_2.pdf|here}} ---- ---- ---- ===== Week 13 (now 12) (Week of Apr. 6)===== BJT a amplifiers {{:bjt_amplifiers.pdf|here}} **LAB 5 BJT** ---- ---- ---- ===== Week 14 (now 13) (Week of Apr. 13)===== **Quiz 3** and solution {{:quiz_3_sol.pdf|here}} a more detailed solution is here {{:quiz_3_sol_detailed.pdf|}} **LAB project and demo** project demo are in the Lab session (Monday and Wednesday). Since this Monday is actually Friday (as far as classes are concerned), if you have a conflict you can demp your project Wednesday or call me to arrange a specific time. project reports are due last day of classes (Thursday) ---- ---- ---- ===== Final Exam ===== The final exam is Sunday 19, 7-10pm in ACE 005 A formula sheet will be given to you in the exam. here is {{:final_2015_formula_sheet.pdf|the formula sheet}} However, you are responsible for the equivalent circuits for the different types of transistors and diodes.You are also responsible for the Conditions for different regions (saturation, triode, active, ..)
