Circuits, Devices, and Transduction

This course introduces the fundamentals of circuit theory for the analysis of electrical circuits and the fundamentals of semiconductor devices for the understanding of transistors circuits and other useful actuators and sensors (i.e., transducers). Building on the principles from these two core fundamental areas of electrical engineering, the analog behavior of electronic circuits and physical devices will be modelled, analyzed, and applied. Lab assignments will focus on the design, implementation, and measurement of analog electronic circuits using real electrical components which interface to the physical world. This course complements and forms the basis for many of the abstractions that are used in digital computing systems such as in COMPSCI 141, COMPSCI 146, and COMPSCI 148.
Course Requirements: Prerequisite: Math 1a and 1b; AND Co-requisite: Physical Sciences 12b or Physics15b or Applied Physics 50b
