After successful completion of the course, students are able to...
...describe the structure, operation and application of modern electron devices
...characterize the behavior during large and small signal operation
...describe device models
...explain basic analog and digital circuits
...analyze mostly analog circuits containing bipolar transistors, MOSFETs, and operational amplifiers
...construct transfer characteristics of (C)MOS circuits
...describe current trends in microelectronics

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