Download Study Guide for Final Exam on Microelectronic Circuits | ECE 3040 and more Exams Electrical and Electronics Engineering in PDF only on Docsity! ECE 3040 Dr. Alan Doolittle I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting each of you and hope that I have had a positive influence on your carriers. Please feel free to consult with me in your future work. If I can help you in any way, please come by and talk. Also, if you have not already completed the online computer evaluation, please do so. I am very interested in your comments on my performance, and the class in general. The evaluation is available at: http://www.coursesurvey.gatech.edu Use the following as a final exam study GUIDE. It by no means is meant to be 100% complete. All material covered in this course is fair game for the exam. 1 Class introduction and policies Handout 2 Semiconductor materials Crystal structures Semiconductor materials • Classifications of materials (metals, insulators,semiconductors, etc...) • Classifications of semiconductors (elemental, compound, binary,ternary, etc...) • Classifications and descriptive techniques of crystals and crystal structure (polycrystalline, crystalline, unit cells, Miller indexes, etc...) • Energy bandgap (what they are and where do they come from), ENERGY BAND DIAGRAMS, electron and hole generation Pierret 1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 2.1, and 2.2 3 Carrier Properties State and Carrier Distributions Equilibrium carrier concentrations • Effective mass, intrinsic carrier concentration, extrinsic materials (doped), doping types (p or n), fermi-level movement with doping, fermi-probability distributions (meaning and be able to apply), density of states, calculations of electron and hole concentrations based on doping (total ionization only), fermi-level etc..., LAW OF MASS ACTION, charge neutrality, carrier freeze out, etc... Pierret 2.3 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 11 MOSFET SPICE Model Common Emitter Amplifier Common Source Amplifier Common Collector/Drain Amplifier Common Base/Gate Amplifier Differential Amplifier • How they work only. No analysis. Single and Multi Stage Amplifiers • Amplifier configurations and Design Goals (current, voltage, etc... and high/low input and output resistances), transistor amplifier configurations (CC, CD, etc...), Gain, Input and output resistances • Know DC solutions, conversion to small signal circuit and AC analysis of the small signal circuit Notes Notes Notes Jaeger 13.6, 13.10, 13.11 13.9, 13.10, 13.11 14.1, 14.3 Jaeger 14.1, 14.4 15.1-15.3 14 Operational Amplifier 1st order Op Amp Circuits Non-ideal Op Amps and Op Amp circuits Op Amp Frequency Response and filters • Know the basic gain expressions for the different “op-amp building blocks” (inverting, non-inverting, unity gain, summing, etc...), understand gain-bandwidth product limitations on frequency response “Fairchild” 741 Op Amp • Be able to describe (ONLY DESCRIBE) the function of various sections of the 741 op-amp Jaeger 12.1, 12.2 12.3-12.4 12.5 Jaeger 12.6 and notes 16.7 16 Logic Gates and Levels Dynamic Response Boolean Algebra NMOS Inverter, and ALL Gates discussed CMOS Inverter, and ALL Gates discussed VOL, VOH, VIL, VIH and noise margin calculations or determination from the VTC, time response and characterization parameters (delays etc...) Summer Students: I will not ask you to analyze the saturated enhancement load or the depletion load inverter. (This should help!). Jaeger 6.1, 6.2 6.3 6.4 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5
