ECE523: Analog Electronics

Dec. 18: Congratulations to all of you for your successful project. There were 4 reports with comprehensive analysis of the project, which were requality outstanding. As a results, the 4 winners for the bonus credit are Grace Dean, Peter-Jonas Ela, Amanda Romero, and Maximilian Starceski.
Dec. 2: To help you preparing for the final exam, the answers to the previous sample exams (Exam 1 and Exam 2) are posted here. Note that there is an error in the posted solutions to the practice exam 2 question 3. The correct answers are: Acm = -0.23, CMRR = 38.8 dB, and Vo=0.023sin2π×60t+0.1sin2π×1000t.
Dec. 2: As discussed in class, the project due date is now extended to Friday, Dec. 5, 2025 by 11:59PM.
Nov. 21: The sample SPICE file for homework 9 is provided under the first question. Please make sure that you use the provided parameters for the transistor model as shown in the sample SPICE file. Also, the transistor model for the project must be based on the provided parameters. For your reference, the NMOS and PMOS transistor SPICE models are shown here.
Nov. 21: Please feel free to use any type of SPICE simulation tools for the project and homeowrk 9. For example, you can download and use the free student version of PSPICE here.
Nov. 3: I reviewed the solutions for problem 9.124 in homework 7 and I found it to be correct. The solutions uses +10V and GND for DC analysis, which is similar to +5V and -5V supplies. Therefore, all answers provided in the solutions are correct.
Sept. 23: It was decided to extend the due date for Homework 4 to Monday Sept. 29.
Sept. 9: Due to the unexpeted outage of class website, the deadline for all homwork submissions have been extended by one week.
Aug. 28: There will be no office hours on Tuesday 9/2, due to my travel.
Aug. 18: As it was agreed upon in class today, starting from Wednesday August 20, the class starts at 2:15PM until 3:30PM each day.
Aug. 18: First day of class.

This course is intended to develop the ability in the students to analyze and design discrete and integrated analog electronic circuit. The topics includes: Bipolar and MOSFET operational amplifiers, current mirrors and output stages, frequency response and compensation, and brief overview of noise as well as A/D and D/A circuits. The main objective of this course is to provide the concepts of designing analog integrated circuits in the context of, both bipolar and CMOS technologies. To gain experience circuit design, the students will use EDA tools to design an analog circuit for a specific application.
