ECE 511 Analog Electronics |
|
Analog integrated circuits and analog integrated circuit design techniques. Review of basic device and technology issues. Comprehensive coverage of MOS operational amplifier design including supply independent biasing, gain, frequency response, common mode feedback, input offset, slew rate, settling time, stability, and compensation. Brief coverage of noise, nonlinearity, analog-to-digital conversion techniques and switched-capacitor techniques. Strong emphasis on use of SPICE based computer simulation design tool for homework and project assignments. Students are required to complete an independent design project. 3 credit hours |

Prerequisite |
Undergraduate degree engineering with a class in electronics engineering or consent of instructor. Senior-level undergraduate analog circuit course covering dc and small-signal analysis of simple bipolar (BJT and/or HBT) and CMOS amplifier circuits including two-stage amplifiers and op-amp compensation concepts. Students taking ECE 511 must be proficient with DC, small signal AC analysis, and Kirchoff's current and voltage laws.

|
| Course Objectives | After taking this course, the student will be able to analyze, simulate, and design single and multistage amplifiers. Detail design of single, multistage, and op-amp amplifiers including analysis of biasing techniques, frequency response compensation, feedback, stability, noise, and nonlinearity. An introduction to advanced analog techniques is presented including topics on PLL, VCO, data converters (ADC/DAC), mixer/multipliers, and switch capacitor circuits.

| Computer and Internet Requirements | NCSU has recommended minimum specifications for computers used for classes. Depending on your computer needs, we recommend your computer meet or exceed the following minimum specifications below. PCs must have an Intel-compatible 1 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB hard drive with 1 GB free space available, 256 Color Display, CD-ROM drive, 1024x768 (min.) video adapter, sound card, and speakers. The operating system should be Windows XP Pro. Real One Player Basic (available free online) and high speed Internet connection such as cable, DSL, T1 or LAN will be required for EOL courses. ECE511 requires the use of linux based CAD tools that can only be run from University servers. Remote access students must have unlimited access to a high speed Internet connection such as cable, high speed DSL, T1 or LAN to use the tools required for this course . Internet sources with high latency times, such as satellite services, are not acceptable for use with the required tools. MAC users must have a G4 processor with firewire and USB factory built-in, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB with 1GB free space available, 256 Color Display, CD-ROM drive, 1024x768 (min) video adapter, sound card, and speakers. The operating system must be MacOS 10.4 (minimum) along with the above RealOne and Internet specifications above.
