Circuits and Electronics As taught in: Spring 2007
A mixed-signal printed circuit board containing both analog and ponents. The board is ponent of a 1000-node acoustic beamformer being developed at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. The board contains a pair of microphones, several resistors, capacitors, and digital integrated circuit chips. (Image courtesy of Ken Steele and Anant Agarwal.)
Course Description is designed to serve as a first course in an undergraduate electrical engineering (EE), or electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) curriculum. At MIT, is in the core of department subjects required for all undergraduates in EECS. The course introduces the fundamentals of the lumped circuit abstraction. Topics covered include: resistive elements works; independent and dependent sources; switches and MOS transistors; digital abstraction; amplifiers; energy storage elements; dynamics of first- and second-works; design in the time and frequency domains; and analog and digital circuits and applications. Design and lab exercises are also ponents of the course. is worth 4 Engineering Design Points. The content was created collaboratively by Profs. Anant Agarwal and Jeffrey H. Lang. The course uses the required textbook Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits. Agarwal, Anant, and Jeffrey H. Lang. San Mateo, CA: Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, Elsevier, July 2005. ISBN: 9781558607354.
Syllabus Course Meeting Times Lectures: 2 sessions / week, 1 hour / session Recitations: 1 session / week, 1 hour / session Course Objectives After essfully studying , students will be able to: 1. Understand the basic electrical engineering principles and abstractions on which the design of electronic systems is based. These include lumped circuit models, digital circuits, and operational amplifiers. 2. Use these engineering abstractions to analyze
