Purpose of class
In this course, students learn how to convert low‑frequency basic amplifier circuits using MOSFETs into equivalent circuits, perform actual conversions, and analyze them in order to understand their operating principles.
After gaining a solid understanding of low‑frequency circuit operation, students will then develop the ability to understand and analyze high‑frequency circuits derived from these fundamentals.
Furthermore, by thoroughly mastering these fundamental concepts, students will acquire the ability to understand the operating principles of new devices and circuits.
Course description
Modern society is supported by electronics technologies such as computers, mobile phones, and home appliances. At the foundation of these technologies lie electronic circuits. Devices such as transistors have evolved into ICs, LSIs, and VLSIs, with technological innovation advancing at an exponential pace.
For this reason, it is extremely difficult to understand every aspect of electronic equipment constructed with cutting‑edge electronic circuits.
In this course, students learn the operating principles and analysis methods of the electronic circuits that constitute electronic equipment, starting from the basic devices.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students will review the fundamental knowledge of electric circuits and acquire basic concepts specific to electronic circuits.
    (Course Plan Week 1)
  2. Students will understand the operating principles and equivalent circuits of MOSFETs.
    They will also understand the operating principles of basic amplifier circuits, convert them into large‑signal and small‑signal equivalent circuits, and perform circuit analysis.
    (Course Plan Weeks 2–7)
  3. Students will understand the conversion of basic amplifier circuits into small‑signal equivalent circuits using high‑frequency small‑signal models, and gain an overview of their frequency characteristics.
    (Course Plan Weeks 8–9)
  4. Students will understand the principles and effects of negative feedback and will be able to analyze negative‑feedback circuits.
    (Course Plan Weeks 10–14)

Evaluation method and criteria
The final grade for this course is determined by the total score of the following components:
Short Reports (4 assignments): 40 points, Mid-term Examination: 30 points, and Final Examination: 30 points.
A total score of 60 points or higher out of 100 is required to pass the course.
Short reports must be submitted to the assigned ScombZ submission folder by the specified deadline.
If temporary system issues prevent submission to ScombZ, the report must be submitted by email with the file attached to:
m-sasaki@shibaura-it.ac.jp.
Reports submitted after the deadline will not be graded.
For each report, if the reasoning process is clearly presented, the score will be 60%;
if detailed intermediate calculations are provided, the score will be 80%.
For both the mid-term and final examinations, students who can solve part of the example and exercise problems in the textbook will receive 60%;
students who can solve them reliably and accurately will receive 80%.
