PHYS 3360 - Electronic Circuits

(crosslisted)
(also AEP 3630 ) (PBS)
Fall, spring. 4 credits.

Prerequisites: undergraduate course in electricity and magnetism (e.g., PHYS 2208 , PHYS 2213 , or PHYS 2217 ) or permission of instructor. No previous electronics experience assumed, although the course moves quickly through introductory topics such as basic DC circuits. S–U grade option available by permission of instructor for students who do not require course for major.

E. Kirkland (fall) and I. Bazarov (spring).

Practical electronics as encountered in a scientific or engineering research/development environment. Analyze, design, build, and test circuits using discrete components and integrated circuits. Analog circuits: resistors, capacitors, operational amplifiers, feedback amplifiers, oscillators, comparators, passive and active filters, diodes, and transistor switches and amplifiers. Digital circuits: combinational and sequential logic (gates, flipflops, registers, counters, timers), analog to digital (ADC) and digital to analog (DAC) conversion, signal averaging, and computer architecture and interfacing. Additional topics may include analog and digital signal processing, light wave communications, transducers, noise reduction techniques, and computer-aided circuit design. At the level of Art of Electronics by Horowitz and Hill.
