Course Outline:
This is the first course in electronics and forms part of a sequence of two courses which together are intended to develop the ability to analyze and design electronic circuits, both analog and digital, discrete and integrated. The prime objective of this course is to provide insight into the analysis and design of electronic circuits. The course begins with some electronic system examples and introduces the idea of a signal as an information container to provide motivation and to place the study of electronic circuits in its proper perspective. During this course not only a qualitative description of the physical operation of pn junction diodes, bipolar junction transistors and field effect transistors is given, but many interesting and practical circuit applications of these active devices are also presented. 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. Main topics include Semiconductor Diodes, Introduction to course, Rectifiers and Clipping Circuits, Half/Full/Bridge Rectifiers, Disadvantages of rectifiers, Analysis of diode circuits, DC load line & Quiescent Conditions Small signal analysis, Dynamic resistance, AC resistance, Zener Diode & Voltage Regulation, Peicewise linear approximation of diode, Temperature effects, Derating curves, Manufacturer & Specifications, Transistor circuits, Common Base Configuration, Current flow mechanism, Current amplification in a transistor, Common Emitter Configuration (CE), Biasing Technique, Emitter Resistor Bypass, Load Coupling Capacitor, Power Calculations, Emitter Follower Configuration (CC), Bias Stability, Q point variation due to Uncertainties in Beta, Temperature variations, Stability Factor Analysis, Compensation using diode biasing, Environmental Thermal conditions, Audio frequency and linear power amplifiers, Amplifier classification w.r.t. bias condition, Class A, Common Emitter Power Amplifier, General Class A CE Analysis, Transformer Coupled Class A CE Amplifier, Class B Push Pull Power Amplifier, Amplifier using Complimentary Symmetry, Small signal low frequency analysis design, The Hybrid Parameters ;BJTS, The Common Emitter Configuration, The Common Base Configuration, The Common Collector Configuration, Impedance Reflection in Transistor, Interpretation of Manufacturers Specifications, Field Effect Transistors, Introduction to the Theory of the Operation of the JFET, Introduction to the Theory of the Operation of the MOSFEF, P-Channel FETS, Depletion Mode MOSFETS, Comparison of the three types of FETS, The FET Amplifier, Complimentary Symmetry MOS, Temperature Effects in MOSFETS

Product Design and Development

2+1

The focus of this course is on product development activities that benefit from the participation of all core functions like marketing, design, and manufacturing. Product development team members are expected to have competence in one or more specific disciplines such as mechanical engineering, electrical or electronic engineering, industrial design, market research or manufacturing. For this reason the course is not designed to discuss, for example, how to perform stress analysis or to create a conjoint survey. These are disciplinary skills and are expected to be possessed by someone in the product design team. The integrative methods in this course are intended to facilitate problem solving and decision making among people with different disciplinary perspectives. The course, in short, is about structured methods for completing developmental activities.
