Overview
This is a second-tier course in Analog Systems Design. Aims: This module introduces you to more complex aspects of analog systems design. We consider multi-stage amplifiers and a range of non-linear circuits. An introduction to the Miller effect and high-frequency transistor circuit design is also given. Objectives: By the end of the module you should be able to understand how to design a multistage transistor amplifier and the advantages and trades-offs associated with such designs. You should also understand how operational amplifiers can be configured for non-linear operation. You should also gain an understanding of hysteresis effects and be able to design Schmitt Trigger circuits including an astable multivibrator. Power efficiency of various amplifier configurations is also covered and fundamental RF circuits such as the Cascode amplifier are analyzed. By the end of this module you should be able to understand the various transistor sub-circuts which comprise a basic 741 op-amp.

Design and/or apply non-linear circuit elements to implement various analogue functions.
Course Disclaimer
Courses and course hours of instruction are subject to change.
Credits earned vary according to the policies of the students' home institutions. According to ISA policy and possible visa requirements, students must maintain full-time enrollment status, as determined by their home institutions, for the duration of the program.
ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits are converted to semester credits/quarter units differently among U.S. universities. Students should confirm the conversion scale used at their home university when determining credit transfer.
Please reference fall and spring course lists as not all courses are taught during both semesters.
Please note that some courses with locals have recommended prerequisite courses. It is the student's responsibility to consult any recommended prerequisites prior to enrolling in their course.
