Objectives
To understand the function and operating principles of pn junctions, pn- and zener diodes, bipolar and field-effect de-vices, basic analog and digital circuit components including single stage and operational amplifiers. To understand device parameters and operating principles, analyze and calculate single-stage amplifiers, CMOS and multi stage amplifiers, differential amplifier and output stages as well as operational amplifier applications. To understand and apply dc and ac device and circuit models in circuit design and understand the constraints. To understand and apply all basic digital circuits (inverter, NAND, NOR, tri state inverter and transmission gates), sequential logic circuits RS-, D- and JK- flip flops at counters, frequency dividers and shift registers. To understand and apply digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters
