Description

This lecture will review the basic principles, techniques, and components used in electronics analysis and design at the elementary level. Topics include: review of fundamental physical principles; analysis techniques used in time-invariant (DC) circuits; discussion of passive devices that store energy; analysis techniques used in time-varying (AC) circuits; discussion of the principles of operation of semiconductor devices; concepts of frequency response, bandwidth, and filtering. Time permitting, we will present an introduction to analog circuits; and an introduction to digital circuits.
