Electronic Circuit Design

EEE 313 is where you stop treating transistors as black-box switches and start designing with them as analog gain devices — learning to bias a BJT or MOSFET into its active region, build a small-signal model around that operating point, and predict what the resulting amplifier actually does across frequency. Expect weekly problem sets that drill DC analysis and AC gain calculations, a lab component where you breadboard and measure the circuits you computed on paper, and a project that ties differential pairs, current mirrors, and multistage topologies into something coherent. It leans on the device physics from EEE 212 and the circuit analysis reflexes from EEE 211, and it is the gateway to everything analog after it — EEE 413, op-amp design, RF, and anything mixed-signal all assume you internalized the small-signal mindset here.
