Analogue design
Overall Course Objectives
The objective is to enable the student to apply engineering methods:
-to analyse, design, realize and test linear and non-linear analogue electronic circuits with specified properties,
-to analyse, design, realize and test impulse circuits with specified properties,
-to understand circuits for and functionality of electronic power amplifiers.
Learning Objectives
- use hybrid Pi and T small signal models for analysis of electronic circuits containing bipolar transistors
- construct differential amplifiers, current sources and simple voltage amplifying stages based on bipolar transistors
- connect different simple amplifier sub circuits into one complete amplifier
- analyse a power amplifiers power conditions and calculate the power-conversion efficiency
- investigate whether cooling is necessary and if necessary to select the appropriate cooling method
- identify the error sources of a non ideal OP-Amp and evaluate their influences on the surrounding circuit
- apply feedback on a amplifier circuit and predict the stability of the amplifier after application of feedback
- apply integrator and Schmitt Trigger circuits based on OP-Amp’s to construct triangle and square signal oscillators and monostable multivibrators
