Instructor's Overview: This course is an introduction to analog electronics, presented at the junior level, and includes an introduction to semiconductor physics. The laboratory and class material are loosely synced, with the broad base of information for the laboratories being presented before it is needed. A strong emphasis on electronics fundamentals and the use of data sheets to understand and evaluate device performance is stressed. Laboratory notebooks must be used throughout the laboratories.
