Fourteenth  Week - April 23-27

Lecture:

Second Homework Quiz 10:10-10:30 covers material through HW 12. Professor Meyer will describe the opportunities and challenges in analog circuit design and discuss the content of EE 140 and EE 142 and its relevance to various career choices. Wednesday Will Holtz will recap the frequency response of the common emitter and how it depends on parasitic device parameters. He will discuss the Miller effect and describe the open-circuit time-constant analysis. Friday Joe Seeger will lecture on the frequency response of  the common-source (light), common-collector/drain, and common base/gate amplifiers and compare them with the common-emitter amplifier.

Discussion Sections: 

Supplement Lecture by presentation of examples of how device parasitics set upper frequency limits, give an example of the open-circuit time-constant analysis, and review details on the frequency response of the common source amplifier. 

Laboratories: 

Experiment #11: Current Supplies.  

Homework:

Problem Set 13 covers the a simple design and bias analysis of a cascade of circuit for a specific application, the Miller effect and a problem on frequency response of a multistage amplifier.
