Course Description:

This course is designed to give 4^th year students the ability to analyze and design modern circuit topologies based upon standard analog integrated circuits. The course focuses primarily on analog signal processing but also contains sections on power processing and analog/digital signal conversion.

The following weighting is a tentative proposal.

Homework 5%

Lab Assignments 10%

Quizzes 20%

Midterm Exam 25%

Final Exam 40%

Homework:

Each student is required to individually solve problems. Each problem set contains questions designed to enhance the student’s ability to analyze and synthesize circuits. The problem sets focus on the following topics:

1) Basic amplifiers, Comparator circuits and 1^st Order Active Filters

2) Signal Generators, Phase Locked Loops and Switched Capacitor Filters

3) Regulated Power Converters and Data Conversion.

Lab Assignments:

Students are required to conduct 2 or 3 laboratory exercises. Students may work in groups of 3. Each group will submit a short report for each assignment. The lab exercises focus on the following topics:

1) Basic Operational Amplifier Configurations

2) Processing Video Signals for Display on an Oscilloscope

3) Designing Switchmode Power Converters

Quizzes:

There will be 5 quizzes. The quizzes occur approximately every 2 weeks and are held in the classroom. The duration of each quiz may vary from half an hour long to possibly one and a half hours long.

Midterm:

This exam is to be held in class for 50 minutes on Tuesday June 17^th 2003.

Final:

This is a regularly schedule exam of duration 3 hours.

Friday August 8^th 2003 from 8:30 am to 11:30 am
