| Introduction to Circuits—Basic results and
techniques of circuit analysis, with applications taken from
amplifier, communications, computer, and power circuits.
Linear and nonlinear elements; basic BJT and MOS transistor
models. Analysis of static linear and nonlinear circuits,
linearized circuit models, small signal analysis. Matrix
formulation of circuit equations; KVL and KCL, branch
equations. Linearity, superposition, Thevenin and Norton
equivalents, maximum power transfer. Sinusoidal steady-state
response: phasors, impedance, average power flow. AC power.
Natural and step response of first order circuits; delay and
power consumption estimation in digital circuits, charge
sharing. Weekly problem session. Prerequisite: ENGR 40
