Analog Circuits
Course Description
Semiconductor theory; p-n junction, bipolar transistors, JFETs and MOSFETs, optoelectronic devices.
Operational amplifiers and 555 timers. Device applications: comparators, signal generators, active filters,
instrumentation amplifiers, voltage regulators and power supplies. Prerequisite: Tech 60. Activity 6 hrs, 3
units.
Proof of completion of course prereq:
All students who are ALREADY REGISTERED in Tech 60 class must provide evidence (a printout of
transcripts showing completion of prerequisite Tech 60) that you have completed course prerequisite with
a minimum grade of C-. This evidence must be provided by September 8, 2014. Students who do not
meet the prereqs must request permission to stay in the class in the same way that students request a
permission number (see below), with the same four items in the packet. If this is not done we will do
instructor drops on them to clear seats for students who need and are prepared for the course.
You can show me this proof or email it to me.
Permission codes:
All permission codes must be provided out of the department office following screening by Dr.
Seth Bates, the Dept Chair or our established departmental advisors. Students requesting a
permission code must drop off a request packet that includes
i. their name,
ii. the class they wish to add,
iii. a transcript showing they have completed the prerequisites, and
iv. a four year planner showing why they need the course in Fall 2014.
(This process must be followed for students who seek an exception to course prereqs, see above).

Student Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
a) Describe the fundamentals of semiconductor diodes, transistors, op-amps, timers, and
oscillators.
b) Build, identify, and analyze diode circuits, transistor circuits, op-amp circuits, active
filters, and oscillators.
c) Design or modify fundamental electronic circuits to meet certain requirements.

Evaluation
The final grade for the course will be based on the following items:
Lab experiments 35%
Class participation 10%
Workbook (Extra Credit) 10%
Weekly Quizzes 15%
Midterms (2) 20%
Final Exam 20%

Note: You can check your standing in the class by checking on Canvas
(https://sjsu.instructure.com). Notify the instructor immediately if there is an error in any
of your grades. The last day to correct any discrepancy is the last day of instruction.
There will be no change in your grade after the final grade has been submitted to the
university.
Click on the Announcements tab on Canvas (https://sjsu.instructure.com) for updated
information regarding this class.

Grading Scale
The final grade will be determined according to the following scale:
A+ = 96 - 100% A = 93 - 95.9% A- = 90 - 92.9% B+ = 87 - 89.9%
B = 83 - 86.9% B- = 80 - 82.9% C+ = 77 - 79.9% C = 73 - 76.9%
C- = 70 - 72.9% D+ = 66 - 69.9% D = 60 - 65.9% F = 0 - 59.9%

Methodology:
To achieve an effective teaching/learning outcome the following methodology will be used:

1. You will study the assigned chapter/material before coming to lecture by watching the
assigned video, reading the textbook and reviewing the PowerPoint presentation posted
on Canvas (https://sjsu.instructure.com). Click on the Modules tab.
2. After reviewing the chapter materials you will answer the assigned problems at the end of
the chapter. You will also answer the questions in the Workbook (Extra Credit) as you
progress in the course. Some questions may require you to do some library/Internet
research. The workbook is posted on Canvas.

Note: Only the eight (8) highest Weekly Quizzes scores will be considered.
3. Instructor will explain key points and answer questions from students. Instructor may add
related material to enrich the course content.
4. Instructor will become more as a facilitator of learning. This means that the instructor
will provide as much individual or group assistance as needed.
5. Students should work and learn in teams. This is very important to be successful in the
real world.
6. Students will take Weekly Quizzes, two Midterms and the Final Exam.
Weekly Quizzes, Midterms and the Final Exam will begin and end at the scheduled time.
7. There will be no makeup tests. Students who do not take a test will receive a grade of 00
on that test whatever the excuse, reason or circumstance.

Class participation
Students working in groups of 2-3 will solve assigned problems from each chapter. You need
to include the question and the answer. The answers should be easy to follow and understand.
The whole class will check/discuss if the answers are correct before submitting them. This
group discussion will reinforce and/or enhance your analog circuits' knowledge. When the
Group has determined that their answers are correct then each Group will submit their
answers via Canvas (https://sjsu.instructure.com). Click on the Assignments tab.
Note: Make sure that all members of the group are mentioned in the Class participation reports.
Failure to do this will result in a reduced grade. For example, in a group of 3 students only two
students names were mentioned and the grade was 100% for these 2 students. Then they
realized that one member was not included because they forgot about it. In this case, the total
points obtained by the two students will be divided by 3. So 200/3 = 67; this will be the grade for
all members in this particular report.

Extra Credit
Students can earn 10% Extra Credit by answering the problems on the workbook posted on
Canvas. Students working in teams from 2 to 3 members will submit their progress at least 3
times during the semester. Each Group will submit their answers via Canvas
(https://sjsu.instructure.com). Click on the Assignments tab.
Note: Make sure that all members of the group are mentioned in the Workbook reports. Failure
to do this will result in a reduced grade. For example, in a group of 3 students only two students
names were mentioned and the grade was 100% for these 2 students. Then they realized that one
member was not included because they forgot about it. In this case, the total points obtained by
the two students will be divided by 3. So 200/3 = 67; this will be the grade for all members in
this particular report.

University, College, or Department Policy Information
a) Academic integrity statement (from the Office of Student Conduct and Ethical
Development):
Your own commitment to learning, as evidenced by your enrollment at San Jose State
University, and the universitys Academic Integrity Policy requires you to be honest in all your
academic course work. Faculty members are required to report all infractions to the office of
Student Conduct and Ethical Development. The policy on academic integrity can be found at
http://sa.sjsu.edu/student_conduct.

b) Campus policy in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act:
If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you need
special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with
me as soon as possible, or see me during office hours. Presidential Directive 97-03 requires that
students with disabilities requesting accommodations must register with DRC to establish a
record of their disability.
