ECE 664 - Analog Electronic Systems

Winter 2000

 

Catalog Data: 20-260-664. Analog Electronic Systems. Analog circuit fundamentals for signal conditioning and interfacing to microsensors; emphasis on circuit techniques useful in general analog design; op amps, comparators, noise, nonlinear circuits.

Textbook: S. Franco, Design with Operational Amplifiers and Analog Integrated Circuits, Second Edition, McGraw-Hill, 1998.

Goals: This course prepares the student to design analog circuits by creating a fundamental knowledge of the basic building blocks and design considerations involved in analog circuits. Interfacing to sensors and the conditioning of signals is one example of the use these techniques.
