Analoge Bipolartechnik: Bauelemente, Simulation und Schaltungen

What it is about

You learn the fundamentals of bipolar transistors (Si-BJT, SiGe-HBT), their characterization (e.g., corner frequencies, noise) as well as relevant device parameters for circuit simulations. Building on this, you cover typical bipolar circuits (differential amplifiers, voltage references, translinear circuits) and topologies for fast analog and digital applications (amplifiers, oscillators, multipliers, frequency dividers) and you can analyze and design simple circuits.

What you will be able to do

• Describe bipolar technology
• Analyze device properties and their influence on circuits
• Understand and assess fundamental bipolar circuits
• Develop simple high-frequency bipolar circuits

What the module consists of

• VorlesungConveying concepts and theory in weekly sessions with a Q&A at the beginning
• Übungen zum Selbststudiumregular practice problems; discussion in a separate session directly after the lecture; voluntary, with bonus for high participation
• SimulationseinheitenUse of a circuit simulation tool to link modeling and practical circuit behavior

Teaching method
