Course Objectives:At the conclusion of this course,you should be able to

• derive the differential- and common-mode gains for differential amplifiers, design and analyze dc bias network. (Chapter 8)
• describe the frequency response using Bode representation, and identify high- and low-frequency capacitors and frequency limits in amplifiers. (Chapter 9)
• classify four different basic feedback amplifiers, and determine the amplifier gain, input and output resistances. (Chapter 10)
• determine the biasing condition,overall voltage gain, input and output resistances for multistage amplifiers, and derive the power dissipation of power amplifiers. (Chapter 11)
• classify and analyze active filter made from op-amp, and determine the oscillating frequency for basic oscillators. (Chapter 13)
• *determine the voltage relationship between input and output signals for basic logic circuits. (Chapter 14)
