ELE 3151 - Bridge Electronics II

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This second course in electronics continues the mathematical modeling and applications of operational amplifiers and solid-state devices. The course begins with the design of operational amplifier circuits, active filters, and signal conditioning circuits. Non-ideal properties of operational amplifiers are considered, and stability conditions of operation amplifier circuits are determined. Non-linear operational amplifier circuits are analyzed and designed. Bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are used to implement amplifier circuits. Design applications include single-stage BJT amplifiers, BJT and MOSFET differential amplifiers, and current sources. Probability analysis of electronic circuits is applied. This course provides a project-based lab experience, with an emphasis on good engineering documentation practices. Circuit simulation software is utilized as an engineering design tool.
