Intended learning outcomes

The student is after the course able to:

  • describe and explain large signal behaviour and small signal models for MOS transistors, evaluate models with simulation
  • draw small signal models , calculate gain and input, output impedances of transistor amplifiers, sketch transfer function of amplifiers
  • describe and design different kinds of current mirrors
  • analyse MOS operational amplifier
  • calculate frequency response of integrated amplifiers
  • explain the benefits of negative feedback and identify different feedback configurations
  • analyse frequency response and appraise stability of feedback amplifiers, design stable amplifiers
  • describe different noise sources, use noise models and calculate noise in amplifiers
  • describe short channel effects and MOS device models
  • use SPICE simulation tools in order to verify and analyse ampliers.

Examination and completion

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • LAB1 - Laboratory Course, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • TEN1 - Examination, 4.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Other requirements for final grade

  • Lab. course (LAB1 3,0 credits)
  • Written exam (ANN1; 4,5 credits)

Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination

Ethical approach

  • All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
  • In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
  • In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
