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 is geared to develop the ability to analyze and design electronic circuits, using discrete and
integrated components. This 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 by the applications of diode in basic but essential electronics
circuits. This is followed by in depth treatment of the Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) and the Metal Oxide
Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET); the voltage-current characteristics are explained and analyzed.
The DC biasing and DC analysis of basic amplifier are quantitatively analyzed followed by the large signal and
small signal analysis of various configuration of the amplifiers. A short treatment of Frequency analysis of the
Common Emitter/Source configuration is then covered followed by the application of transistor as a switch.

Week 15: Conduct of Lab Exam

Tools / Software Requirement:


OrCAD Pspice is required for both simulation and some of the lab exercises. The use of MATLAB will also be
encouraged for solution of problems and different simulations.

Grading Policy:
Quiz Policy: The quizzes will be unannounced and normally last for ten minutes. The question framed is
to test the concepts involved in last few lectures. Number of quizzes that will be used for
evaluation is at the instructor’s discretion. Grading for quizzes will be on a fixed scale of 0 to
10. A score of 10 indicates an exceptional attempt towards the answer and a score of 1
indicates your answer is entirely wrong but you made a reasonable effort towards the

solution. Scores in between indicate very good (8-9), good (6-7), satisfactory (4-5), and poor
(2-3) attempt. Failure to make a reasonable effort to answer a question scores a 0.
Assignment Policy: In order to develop comprehensive understanding of the subject, assignments will be given.
Late assignments will not be accepted / graded. All assignments will count towards the total.
The students are advised to do the assignment themselves. Copying of assignments is highly
discouraged and violations will be dealt with severely by referring any occurrences to the
disciplinary committee. The questions in the assignment are meant to be challenging to give
students confidence and extensive knowledge about the subject matter and enable them to
prepare for the exams.
Lab Conduct: The labs will be conducted for three hours every week. A lab handout will be given in advance
for study and analysis. The lab handouts will also be placed on LMS. The students are to
submit their results by giving a lab report at the end of lab for evaluation. One lab report per
group will be required. However, students will also be evaluated by oral viva during the lab.
Plagiarism: SEECS maintains a zero tolerance policy towards plagiarism. While collaboration in this
course is highly encouraged, you must ensure that you do not claim other people’s work/
ideas as your own. Plagiarism occurs when the words, ideas, assertions, theories, figures,
images, programming codes of others are presented as your own work. You must cite and
acknowledge all sources of information in your assignments. Failing to comply with the
SEECS plagiarism policy will lead to strict penalties including zero marks in assignments and
referral to the academic coordination office for disciplinary action.
