Theory and applications of modern optoelectronic components such as waveguides and optical fibers, photodetectors, light emitting diodes, and semiconductor lasers. Emphasis on the physics and operating characteristics of optoelectronic semiconductor devices. Prerequisite: E&C-ENG 344.

Topics include standard circuit building blocks such as current mirrors, voltage references, single stage amplifier topologies, differential pairs. Device models, bias choices, temperature effects, the body effect, and mismatch. Op-amp and OTA design as well as frequency response, noise analysis, stability, and compensation. The course will include readings in Filter Design, Common Mode Feedback, and Distortion. A design project required, which can be related to the student's research or possibly another advanced E&C-ENG course such as RF systems, biology, or communications.

This course covers the basics of analog integrated circuit design. Topics include standard circuit building blocks such as current mirrors, voltage references, single stage amplifier topologies, differential pairs. Device models, bias choices, temperature effects, the body effect, and mismatch. Op-amp and OTA design as well as frequency response, stability, and compensation. Noise analysis is applied to various circuit configurations. More complex topics will be discussed if time permits.

This course is part of the ECE department's DP123 initiative: Design Projects for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Year ECE Students. It enables ECE students to design and build hardware and software systems before the senior design project (SDP). Most of the projects are team-based. The projects are guided from concept to final design by the course instructors as well as by ECE seniors acting as project mentors (enrolled in E&C-ENG 497DP). DP123 projects are built in M5, the academic makerspace for ECE undergraduates.
