COMMENT:

The pace of the course will presume a previous two-semester electronics sequence.  Many basic topics are revisited, but in greater depth and with specialization to CMOS, with more sophisticated analysis, and with addition of advanced concepts.  Totally "new" topics include random noise, and switched-capacitor filters.  In general, each "revisited" chapter will take up about one week of class time; each "new" topic will occupy two weeks.

EXAMINATIONS AND GRADING

There will be two one-hour examinations during the semester plus a two-hour final examination.  Relative contributions to the final grade will be 31%, 31%, 38%, respectively.   Homework scores are used for borderline decisions. Separate grading scales for undergraduates and graduate students will reflect differing expectations for achievement.  All exams use open-book, open notes rules, however it is best to prepare as if the exam were closed-book.

HOMEWORK

Sometimes lecture might slip a little behind the homework assignment and you need principles not yet discussed to solve a problem.  When this happens, such problem(s) will be postponed until the next week.  If the instructor is informed of the problem, a note will be posted  in the class news.
