Overview

Welcome the the course website for Electronic Circuits (ECE 55:041) at The University of Iowa for the Fall 2006 semester. The instructor is Anton Kruger (A.K.) and the teaching assitant is Colbin Erdahl (C.E). The textbook for the course is Electronic Circuits by N.R. Malik. In the lectures I will cover the material listed in the syllabus. The PowerPoint presentations are my talking points, and in no way do they replace the textbook. The presentations will not be made available electronically. Rather, I will hand out paper copies that students can annotate.

Here are some thoughts on working together on homework and lab assignments.

Background Expected: 57:008 Electrical Circuits and 57:018 Principles of Electronic Instrumentation. Major Topics:

• Bias circuits & current sources(Ch. 6)
• Transistor amplifiers (Ch. 7)
• Frequency response (Ch. 8)
• Feedback circuits & oscillators (Ch. 9)
• Power circuits (Ch. 10)
• Filters (Ch. 12)
• Digital circuits (Ch. 13)

Schedules

The schedules for lectures, labs, and office hours are in the table below, showing the start of 50-minute blocks for lectures and 1-hour blocks otherwise. Exam, and homework due schedules are listed elsewhere. Lectures are in 2229 SC, labs are in 2251 SC.   I will take my office hours in the lab, which is just down the hall from the lecture room. You may also make an appointment to see me in my office in 523C SHL (this is in the Stanley Maxwell Hydraulics Laboratory).
