Overview
The unit consolidates MOS and BJT single ended amplifiers, and introduces the design of advanced analogue building blocks, such as differential amplifier circuits, current mirrors, reference voltage circuits, regulators and operational amplifiers. Opamp design and its corresponding frequency response, as well as ways to improve arising stability issues (e.g. using pole compensation) are discussed.
