| Course description | 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 |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
1. Have some familiarity with datasheets.
2. Explain how alternative feedback topologies affect amplifier
transfer functions.
3. 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.
4. Design small bipolar transistor amplifier to a given
specification.
5. 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.
6. Analyse circuits using classical steady-state techniques. |
