MOSFET.
2. EC201.2 Determine parameter values for large and small signal models for diodes, BJTs and
MOSFETs based on knowledge of the device structure, dimensions, and bias conditions.
3. EC201.3 Determine, compare, and contrast the performance parameters of single stage
amplifier circuits using BJTs and MOSFETs
4. EC201.4 Identify the high frequency limitations of BJTs and MOSFETs and determine the
performance of multistage amplifiers.
5. EC201.5 Analyze and design analog electronic circuits using discrete components.
6. EC201.6 Design, construct and take measurement of various analog circuits and compare
experimental results in the laboratory with theoretical analysis
