Tostudy the characteristics of the op amp without feedback. To introduce the analysis anddesign of op amp feedback networks which produce both linear and nonlinear transfer charac-teristics. To study the design of op-amp ampli fiers, integrators, differentiators, active filters,logarithmic amplifiers, and active clipping networks. To study op-amp w av eform generatorcircuits such as sine-wav e, triangle-wave, and square-wave generators. Design and analysiscapabilities will include circuit models of op amps and the utilization of SPICE to simulatecircuit performance.QuizzesQuiz 1 Monday, Fe bruary 15Quiz 2 Monda y, April 5GradingQuizzes 40%Homework 10%Laboratory Performance 25%Final Exam 25%Pertinent DatesHoliday Monday, January 18Spring Break March 22 — 26Drop Day Friday, March 5Final Exam Wednesday, May 5, 2:50 pm — 5:40 pmRecommended Books in the LibraryTK7871.58.06 B37 — A.

Plagiarizing is definedbyWebster’sdictionary as to steal and pass off the ideas or words of another as one’s own, to use another’sproduction without crediting the source, to commit literary theft, to presen t as new andoriginal an idea or product derived from an existing source. If caught plagiarizing, you willbe dealt with by the Dean of Students according to the GT Academic Honor Code.Homework Collaboration When working on homework, you may work with other students inthe class. However; you must turn in separate copies of the homework with the followingwritten on the cover page: your name, the names of everyone you collaborated with, thecourse num ber, and the assignment number. You are allowed and encouraged to ask me andthe class GTA questions, although you should try to think about the problems before asking.Neither I nor the GTA will work problems for you if you do not submit evidence that you havemade a prior attempt to work it. You are strongly encouraged to work on extra problemsfrom the book on your own.Cheating on Quizzes Cheating off of another person’s test or quiz is unethical and unacceptable.Cheating off of anyone else’s work is a direct violation of the GT Academic Honor Code, andyou will be dealt with by the Dean of Students according to the GT Academic Honor Code.Use of Old Quizzes Use of any previous semester course materials as study guides is allowed.While this material may serve as examples for you, they are not guidelines for an y tests,quizzes, homework, projects, or any other course work that may be assigned during thissemester.Academic Honor Code Issues For any questions involving these or any other Academic HonorCode issues, please consult me, the class GTA, or the url
