CENG 215

Circuits and Electronics

Fundamentals of electric circuits, including the basic concepts (e.g. voltage, current, power), basic components (e.g. resistance, inductance, capacity, MOS transistor, operational amplifier), basic laws (e.g., Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s law, equivalent resistance exchange) and methods of circuit analysis. Transient analysis, frequency response, Laplace transforms, Fourier series, introduction to electronic materials and devices, diodes, bipolar transistors and logic families, MOS technology.

Course Objectives

1. Understand the basic electrical engineering principles and abstractions on which the design of electronic systems is based. These include lumped circuit models, digital circuits, and operational amplifiers

2. Use these engineering abstractions to analyze and design simple electronic circuits

3. Understand the relationship between the discrete structures and corresponding digital circuit implementations
