This course focuses on the design, simulation, building, and testing of a wide variety of application-oriented circuits based upon the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) and operational amplifier (OPAMP). Applications of the BJT include current sources, active loads, differential amplifiers, and power amplifiers. OPAMP applications include active filters, oscillators, and comparators. Themes common to both the BJT and OPAMP include frequency response and feedback. The classroom material is supplemented with three labs, three mini-labs, and a comprehensive design project.
