EE 3101 - Operational Amplifiers

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course focuses on design with operational amplifiers. Linear and non-linear amplifiers, active filters, and signal generators are covered. The concepts of stability of operational amplifier circuits are introduced. Static and dynamic limitations are covered. Great emphasis is placed on the design of different kinds of operational amplifier circuits and their applications. (prereq: EE 2070  or EE 3002B )
