Negative Feedback Aplifiers. Setups and parameters. Frequency response in feedback amplifiers. Stability and compensation. Linear and non-linear oscillators. Timer circuits and pulse generators. PLLs and VCOs. Active filters. Real effects in amplifiers. Some specific purpose Integrated circuits. Power amplifiers. Linear and regulated power suppliers. Computer simulation of analog circuits.

The teaching methodology will include: - Magisterial Classes, where the students will be presented with the basic knowledge they must acquire. Students will be supplied with lecture notes and key reference texts which will enable them to complete and acquire a more in depth knowledge of the subject. - Problems Classes, these are aimed at the solving of exercises and examples within the context of real case studies. These classes will be complimented with the resolution of practical exercises on behalf of the student. - Laboratory Practical Sessions - Group tutorials
