Objective
Provide a basic understanding of semiconductor devices and integrated circuits.
Prerequisites
KVL and KCL, node-voltage analysis, Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits, design and analysis of circuits with operational amplifiers, impedance, time domain analysis, frequency response (Bode plots), analog vs. digital signals, laboratory techniques (breadboarding and operation of supplies, DVM, oscilloscope, function generator). This material is covered in EE 40.
