Course Description:
This is the first course in Electronics Design and Analysis which is a part of a two course sequence.
The sequence of these two courses together is geared to develop the ability to analyze and design
electronic circuits, using discrete and integrated components.
EE216 the first course, introduces the students to signals and electronics systems and the need to
process the signals containing useful information using electronic circuits.
The first electronic device that is introduced is the ubiquitous Diode; both the qualitative and
quantitative description and analysis of the PN junction diode is explained in detail followed the
applications of diode in basic but essential electronics circuits. This is following by in depth treatment
of the Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT); the BJT voltage-current characteristics are explained and
analyzed. The DC biasing and DC analysis of BJT basic amplifier are quantitatively analyzed followed
by the large signal and small signal analysis of various configuration of the BJT amplifiers. A short
treatment of Frequency analysis of the BJT Common Emitter configuration is then covered followed by
the application of BJT as a switch; this completes the basics of BJT as a device used in simple
electronics circuits.
The last part of the course covers the analysis and design of the Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field
Effect Transistor (MOSFET) as electronic component and a circuit element. Basic practical circuit
applications of this device are presented using both qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques.
By the end of this course a student would be thoroughly familiar and intimately comfortable with the
active devices covered and would have also learnt about the basic building blocks of electronic
circuits.
