334 Intermediate EE

Course Description

    Analog and digital circuit design and electronic devices are core course requirements in the electrical engineering curriculum.  The material is as close to modern applications as possible. At the same time, the course provides a solid foundation in the fundamentals of electronics rather than a sampling of the most popular current topics.  Circuit design topics, are well-suited for honing students' skills as engineering designers.
 The focus of this course is on the analysis and design of the analog parts of  integrated circuits. These are the difficult, but most interesting parts of the IC's and control the leading edge products like modems and wireless  communications products.  These subjects are presented in the context of modern silicon integrated circuit technology.  This focus on ICs provides an efficient way to learn the central concepts of device physics and analog/digital circuits. It also offers an early exposure to up-to-date applications.
