• Course Description

        This course is the second semester of the microelectronic circuits. In the first sem

         ester, this course focuses on the

        fundamental knowledge of microelectronic circuits. For example, semiconductor materials, diodes, MOSFETs and BJTs, and

        simple amplifier configurations are also included. In the second semester, we will base on the previous materials and progress

        further for more details about analog circuits. For example, frequency response, differential pairs, multistage amplifiers,

        feedback, and operational amplifiers are included.

• Teaching Method
  
  Power point handouts are used in this class. Tablet computer is used for equation derivation and additional materials. CAD tool (Pspice) is used in this class to let students have opportunities using industrial standard approach for circuit design. In addition, I encourage you to ask me questions in the class, so I can interact with you and obtain your feedback for the class.
