Overview

Welcome the the course website for Electronic Circuits (ECE 55:041) at The University of Iowa for the Fall 2007 semester. The instructor is Anton Kruger (A.K.) and the teaching assistant is Shrae Rai (S.R). The textbook for the course is Microelectronics by Donald A. Neamen. 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.

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

Background Expected: 57:008 Electrical Circuits Electronic Instrumentation. Major Topics:

• Review of FETs and basic FET amplifiers (Ch. 3 & 4)
• Review of BJTs and basic BJT amplifiers (Ch. 5 & 6)
• Frequency response (Ch. 7)
• Output stages and an power amplifiers (Ch. 8)
• IC biasing and active loads (Ch. 10)
• Differential and multistage amplifiers (Ch. 11)
• Feedback and stability (Ch. 12 & 14 (partial))
• Application and design of ICs (Ch. 15)
• Bipolar digital circuits (Ch. 17)

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 Rm 4114, SC. You may also make an appointment to see me in my office in 523C SHL (this is in the Stanley Maxwell Hydraulics Laboratory).
