ELEC 353 Electronics II Units: 4.25
Transistor-level modeling and design of analog and digital electronic circuits. Differential amplifiers, Gilbert Cell multipliers, multi-stage amplifiers, amplifier frequency response, negative feedback amplifiers, LC-tank and crystal oscillators, two-port networks. Advanced concepts in logic design. Students learn the basics of computer aided design (CAD) of integrated circuits including schematic simulation, layout, design rules, layout versus schematic verification and extracted circuit simulation. Laboratory work is design-oriented and students are introduced to advanced test and measurement techniques using vector network analyzers.

Course Learning Outcomes:
- Describe which circuit components determine the lower 3-dB cutoff frequency of an amplifier's gain response and which circuit components determine the upper 3-dB cutoff frequency of the gain response.
- Identify which type of negative feedback arrangement (e.g. shunt sampling/series mixing, etc.) to use for a voltage amplifier, a current amplifier, a transconductance amplifier and a transimpedance amplifier.
- Calculate the differential gain (Ad), the common mode gain (Acm) and common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of a differential amplifier.
- Calculate the gain of an amplifier with negative feedback.
- Measurement of differential amplifiers and amplifiers with/without feedback as a function of frequency.
- Students as a group discuss, explain and identify issues and results in the laboratory and report on them.
