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.
