This course focuses on the analysis, design, and construction of analog electronic circuits, including semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors. Circuit analysis via the Laplace transform will also be introduced to analyse frequency-dependent circuits. This course builds upon the development of the DC and AC circuit analysis techniques introduced in Electrical Circuits, as well as on skills developed in Mathematics 1B and 2A. This course will cover the principles of semiconductors, pn junctions and diodes, the principles of transistors, biasing of transistors, transistor amplifiers, small-signal models, the Laplace transform, circuit analysis based on the Laplace transform, and frequency-selective circuits (analog filters).
