Text Books I post my lecture slides and most students find them to be a good
summary of the material.
Text books:
"Microelectronic Circuits," by Sedra and Smith (6th edition) o Text book has more examples and problems and is a very good
reference book to keep for the future.
Recommended Text books:
"Fundamentals of Microelectronics," by Behzad Razavi . This is a great book, highly recommended. (ISBN: 0471478466)
“Art of Electronics," by Horowitz & Hayes and its companion "Student manual for the Art of Electronics" by Hayes & Horowitz o Focuses on practical considerations in designing circuits
o A great part is the exercise problems at the end of each chapter including “good” and “bad” circuits.
o Drawback: It lacks necessary mathematical analysis.

Lab/Simulation
This course has no physical Labs. o Difficult to find “single” MOS transistor.
o We will use PSpice Simulations instead.
PSpice Lab: 330A, 335, 336 and 337 EBUII (Open 24/7, Code: 1025713)
You can download a demo (free) version of OrCAD Pspice from: http://www.cadence.com/products/orcad/pages/downloads.aspx
PSpice Lab has the “full” version.
There is a “PSpice” Primer posted on the Web site that is useful in starting on PSpice.

Syllabus
We will develop many MOS amplifier circuits with an emphasis on ICs. o MOS Large Signal Model
o MOS Biasing
o MOS Small Signal Model
o MOS Fundamental Amplifier Configurations
o Transistor-pair Amplifiers (Cascode and Difference Amplifiers)
o Active Loads (Fundamental Forms, current mirror)
o Frequency Response of Amplifiers
o Multistage Amplifiers
o Feedback Amplifiers
F. Najmabadi, ECE102, Fall 2012
• Discussed in ECE65. • We will go through
material rapidly • Some new concepts will
be introduced. • Review ECE65

• We will use transistors to replace resistors in the circuit.
• We will analyze biasing, fundamental configurations, and transistors pairs with active loads.
• Review 65 Introductory notes on circuit theory.
Circuit elements are identified by there iv characterisitics
Circuit theory has “symbols” for ideal linear elements: o five two-terminal elements: resistors, capacitors, inductors, independent
voltage and independent current sources
o Four four-terminal elements: controlled voltage and current sources.
It is essential to remember that the above ideal element are NOT real components. Rather they are representative of elements with a certain iv characteristic equation.
Since the rest of the circuit only sees the iv characteristics of an element, different physical elements with similar iv characteristics are identical!
