oxidation; differential amplifiers: DC and AC analysis of differential amplifier; design of simple
differential amplifier; level translator; current sources (simple current mirror, Widler and Wilson
current source): output stage design; use of op-amp as a circuit element, offset and offset
compensation, op-amp with negative feedback, frequency response of an op-amp, DC and AC
analysis of op-amp ICs; amplifier; linear and non-linear applications. analogue and digital circuit
interface with applications;

Lab Outline:
