Aims: To familiarise students with bipolar junction and field effect transistors, and to introduce a number of important circuit applications of these devices; to develop basic skills in linear circuit analysis. To give students an understanding of the analysis and design of common 'active' circuits such as those involving operational amplifiers and transistors. Learning Outcomes: By the end of the course, students should be able to understand: (a)The Operational Amplifier (opamp) - the characteristics of the opamp - the mathematical operations that can be achieved with opamps - feedback and stability; gain-bandwidth limitations. (b) Basic concepts of semi-conductor diode and its current-voltage relationship. Various applications of junction diodes. (b) Explain qualitatively the operation of all of the following: common-emitter (or common-source) amplifier, active load, current mirror, differential amplifier, emitter follower. (c) Determine the operating modes and bias conditions of transistors in the above configurations and in other cimple circuits (d) Understand the small-signal models of BJTs and FETs at low frequencies, and use them to determine the small-signal parameters for the above configurations and for other simple transistor circuits; (d) Determine the transient behaviour of circuits containing transistor switches with reactive loads..
