ECE 332 Electronics I: Microelectronic Circuits
As a core course for undergraduate students in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), this microelectronic circuit course is intended to teach students the analysis and design of analog electronic circuits. Through the circuit analysis students will learn the operation, characteristics and limitations of various analog circuits. These fundamental studies will help students develop an intuition for circuit design and lay a foundation for advanced design and analysis of integrated circuits. Topics to be covered include basic operational principles of electronic devices (focusing on diodes and BJTs), DC analysis of diode circuits, DC biasing and small-signal equivalent circuit of BJT transistors, and single stage BJT amplifiers. The hands-on experiments will allow students to "learn-by-doing" and to explore the realm of real-world microelectronics based on the lecture materials.
