| Summary | This lecture course introduces theoretical and practical concepts in Analogue Circuit design. The role of feedback in active circuits is emphasised and illustrated with reference to operational amplifiers. It is shown how to design simple, but practical, bipolar amplifiers to a given specification. Bode and Nyquist diagrams are introduced and applied to the frequency compensation of op-amps and the analysis and design of first order active filters. An important aim of the course is to provide the theoretical background required by the analogue project lab. |

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Explain how alternative feedback topologies affect amplifier transfer functions.
- Use appropriate circuit models of the amplifier and feedback network to carry out calculations involving open loop gain, closed loop gain, input and output resistance.
- Design small bipolar transistor amplifier to a given specification.
- Explain how oscillation can occur due to phase shift in feedback amplifiers and calculate the required frequency of the dominant pole to stabilise a feedback amplifier.
- Analyse circuits using classical steady-state techniques.
