Advanced Analog Design and Feedback (Fall 2006)

Course code : EAADFE-U01
ECTS Credits : 7,5 Status : Optional for specified Programme
Revised : 05/09 2006 Written : 13/02 2003
Placement : 5. & 6. Semester Hours per week : 4
Length : 1 semester Teaching Language : English

Objective : The student must be able to analyse and design active analog circuits taking non ideal properties of the components into account The student must be able to analyse and design active analog circuits taking thermal properties into account. The student must be able to analyse and design circuits with feedback under non ideal conditions. The student must be able to analyse and design analog to digital interface circuits. The student must be able to analyse and design taking reliability into account.
Principal Content : Non ideal properties of the Operational Amplifiers and other integrated and discrete circuits, Power Amplifiers, Thermal Design, Feedback Theory and Applications, Reliability Theory and Practice.
Teaching method : Interactive lectures by different teachers combined with a project. The project will take approximately 60% of the time. The student can select the project from a number of possibilities – or if approved by the teachers be a project invented by the students in a group. The project must give the students a possibility to demonstrate that the goals are meet.
Required prequisites : Documented knowledge corresponding to KRA3
Recommended prerequisites : -
Relations : AADFE is supplemented by ENAME
Type of examination : Look under remarks
External examiner : Internal
Marking : Scale of 13
Remarks : In the beginning of the semester the students form their own project groups. The group size should be 3-4 students. Under special circumstances, the teacher may allow other group sizes. If a group member several times fails to fulfil agreements made by the group, the group may recommend an expulsion. If a student doesn"t contribute to the project-work, the teacher may refuse to enter the student for the examination.

Before the exam:
Group presentation of the project. Each student will give a 5-10 minutes presentation of a part of the project. These presentations must be different and together they must cover important topics of the project.

Oral exam:
The exam is individual, and allow 10 minutes pr. student. The assessment is based on a general impression of the student with respect to the goals of the course. This will be evaluated from the project report, the oral performance as well as the functionality of the project.
During the exam supervisor and censor will ask questions inspired by the presentation and the project report.

After the exam:
Students may contact the supervisor by e-mail to make an appointment, where the exam and project report can be discussed further. Students who fail to pass the exam will be guided to prepare for a re-examination. This consultation will normally be given by the start of the following semester.
