Welcome the the course website for Principles of Electronic Instrumentation (ECE 57:018) at The University of Iowa for the Spring 2008 semester. The instructor is Anton Kruger (A.K.) and the teaching assistants are Mohamed Ahmed (M.A.), Paul Kump (P.K.), and Kaustubh Patwardhan (K.P.) 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 the policies for this course.
Prerequisites 029:082 (Introductory Physics II) and 059:008 (Fundamentals of Engineering II— Electronic Circuits).
Concepts Covered
Principles of analog signal amplification, signal conditioning, filtering; operational amplifier circuit analysis and design; principles of operation of diodes, bipolar transistors, field effect transistors; discrete transistor amplifier analysis and design
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 2217 SC, labs are in 2325 SC. I will take my office hours Room 2251, SC. You may also make an appointment to see me in my office in 523C SHL (this is in the Stanley Maxwell Hydraulics Laboratory).
