Program Overview

Course Description

The ET677 Integrated Analogy Systems course explores the analysis and design of analog systems. Over the past several decades, digital systems have increased in complexity and function, leading to an attitude in industry that digital solutions would eventually reduce the need for analog analysis and design. However, the opposite is true, with a strong and growing demand for analog skills in today's electronics industry.

Course Topics

The course covers various applications of analog systems, including:

• Fundamentals of operational amplifiers
• Applications of amplifier circuits, including feedback, amplifier limitations, stability, voltage references, power converters, and phase locked loops

Course Structure

A series of weekly laboratory exercises will be assigned to link the concepts from lecture to hands-on application. The use of standard electronics equipment will be required, and the use of the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool Multisim from National Instruments and Cadence Design systems will be explored.
