Louisiana State University Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering Linear Circuit Design Dr. A. Srivastava, Professor

Fall 2012

Objective: The objective of the course is to analyze and design various building blocks for analog applications, design operational amplifiers in CMOS and bipolar technologies. Prerequisites: EE3220 and EE3221, Credit or Registration in EE3232 Your name will be removed if you do not meet the course requirement and have a letter grade D in any of the required courses. Textbook: Paul R. Gray, Paul J. Hurst, Stephen H. Lewis and Robert G. Meyer, Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits, 5th Edition, John-Wiley, 2009. Lab Manual: A. Srivastava, Linear Circuit Design A Laboratory Manual, Rev. 6/09. Note: Upgrades will be provided during lab hours. Course Syllabus: Chapter 2: Review of Bipolar, MOS Integrated-Circuit Technology Chapter 1: Review of Models for Integrated-Circuit Active Devices Chapter 3: Differential Pairs (Section 3.5) Chapter 4: Current Mirrors and Active Loads Chapter 5: Output Stages (Section 5.4) Chapter 6: Operational Amplifiers with Single-Ended Outputs Chapter 7: Frequency Response of Integrated Circuits Chapter 8: Feedback Circuits excluding Voltage Regulators (suggested reading) Chapter 9: Introduction to Frequency Response and Stability of Feedback Amplifiers Chapter 10: Nonlinear Analog Circuits (Section 10.3 Phase-Locked Loops) Homework, Project and Laboratory: Regular homework assignments will be given. Every student will be required to work on two or three design projects. The Projects will be explained and given after mid-term exam. Homework, projects and laboratory experiments will require an extensive use of PSPICE.

EE4240 Laboratory: This year I have introduced few new laboratory experiments over the past laboratory experiments. Description of these labs will be given during lab hours. Laboratory Reports: All labs and project reports must be word-processed and should include the following: 1) Object, 2) Circuit diagram including node numbers if simulated using PSPICE, 3) Observations, 4) Analysis and Discussion and 5) Conclusion. Laboratory reports will be due in the following week of the laboratory for submission to the TA/Instructor concerned.
