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.
