Structure, operation and application of modern electron devices, behavior during large and small signal operation, models, basic analog and digital circuits. Emphasis on current trends in microelectronics. Analysis of (mostly analog) circuits.

All important semiconductor devices and basic circuits, including diodes, bipolar transistors and FETs. Structure, operation, and characterization, static and dynamic, small- and large-signal models. Basic circuits, in particular amplifiers, current and voltage sources, differential amplifyer, power amplifyers, basic circuits for digital electronics. Operational amplifiers characteristics and basic circuits. Emphasis on current trend in basic building blocks of microelectronics.

We aim at making the exercises both managable for students without previous knowledge in circuit analysis ("AHS") and interesting for students with ("HTL"). Therefore it is unavoidable that students coming from an AHS need slightly more time than for exercises of other similar courses. In each week additional problems ("zusätzliche Übungsaufgeben") are offered to increase your level of proficiency. We recommend to all students solving the additional problems in preparation for Klausuren!

Participation in "Übungen" is only possible after registration for a group. There is no overall participant limitation, but there is one to each group. Registrations on waiting list will be converted to confirmed registrations after the registration deadline, but may be moved to another group. If you cannot attend some or all of the "Kleingruppenübungen", please consider the information given in the homepage.

concurrent evaluation, 2 written and an oral exam

Lecture notes for this course are available in the Sekretariat des FKE, Floragasse 7, 1. Stock bei Fr. Pflug. Material for the exercises are available in TUWEL
