Last updated
8/27/2009
COURSE
DESCRIPTION
Fundamental circuit
concepts and analysis techniques. Kirchoff's laws, nodal analysis;
independent and
dependent sources. Thevenin, Norton equivalent circuits. Transient
and AC analysis; speed and power. Phasors,
Bode plots and transfer function. Filters and
Op-Amps. Graphical methods for
nonlinear circuits. Gauss’s Law and bandgap.
Diode and FET characteristics. Diode and
MOSFET circuits. Introduction to basic
integrated-circuit technology and layout. Digital
signals, logic gates, switching.
An electronics laboratory
is part of the course. Using and
understanding electronics laboratory equipment such as: oscilloscope,
power
supplies, function generator, multimeter,
curve-tracer, and RLC meter. Includes a term
project of
constructing a circuit with appropriate electromechanical device.

Homework
Posted on
class webpage every Tuesday morning and due the following Thursday
(12:00 noon)
in Cory 240. No late
homework will be accepted.
The two
lowest homework scores will not count in course grading.
Grading
Midterm1 15%,Midterm2 15%, Final 30% ,Homework 10%, Lab 30%
Midterm Exam 1
10/1(Thursday),
9:30-11:00am
Midterm Exam 2
11/5(Thursday)
9:30-11:00am
Final Exam 12/15 (Thursday)
8-11am
All exams are closed
book. Calculators and one new sheet (8.5” x 11”) of notes
for each exam will be
allowed
(i.e.
1 sheet for MT1, 2 for MT2, 3 for Final).
College grading
policy:
“A typical GPA for courses in the lower division is 2.7. This GPA would result, for example, from 17% A's, 50% B's, 20% C's, 10% D's, and 3% F's.”
Information for MAC Users
For
MAC Users:
This class will require the use of software that might only be
available for windows systems.
To utilize this software, you can choose one of these 2 strategies:
1.Use a Virtualization tool (such as VirtualBox, which you
can download for free), and use it to install a copy of windows on your
local virtual machine. I think in the long tun this strategy is best
because having a windows host will come handy several times anyway. It
does require you to have a copy of windows though.
2. Work remotely on one of the instructional servers. To do this you
will need to follow the instructions listed on this website
http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/connecting.html#labs
including downloading a remote desktop client from microsoft
corporation. I suggest that you also do this download regardless
of wether this is your strategy or not, because you will have to do it
for future classes anyway.
