Analog Electronics

Text: 

The Art of Electronics, 2nd Ed., Horowitz and Hill;
Instructor's lecture notes

Topics :

We will cover the following topics:
  • passive analog circuits, resistors, capacitors, and inductors, and their analysis in time
  • and in frequency using the method of complex impedance
  • diodes and transistors; basic transistor circuits; FETs
  • operational amplifiers ("op amps"); negative and positive feedback
  • applications of the above, including amplifiers, filters, oscillators, radio and phase-locked loop
