Summary

Basic properties of active tripoles(BJT, JFET, MISFET). Description of basic modern op amps function blocks (differential input amplifier, current mirror as an active load, modern complementary follower)-their application in modern amplifier structures (voltage feedback amps - VFA, current feedback amps - CFA, transconductance amps - OTA, VFA based on CFA, etc.). Basic application circuits and notes. Degradation of semiconductor structures.

Way of continuous check of knowledge in the course of semester

Evaluation criteria are oriented on outputs allowing: • Reports from selected measurements processed on the base of measured values from these measurements and their subsequent processing, completing and assessing. • Continuous verifying of student knowledge in the numerical exercises in a form of debate and inquiries to achieve student active participations in study process. Identify, deduce and search of problem solving and their interpretation by students. • Tests and problems from numerical exercises, eventually from chosen theoretical circuits • Term work and projects on a given theme on the basis of selection, investigation, ordering and final compilation of facts and their processing into final form of given theme.
