1 Number and title of course EE 100 Electronic Techniques for Engineering 2 Course objectives EE 42 100 and EE 43 serve as an introduction to the principles of Electrical Engineering using electronic devices to communicate solve problems and manipulate our environment EE 42 100 will begin with basic concepts develop analysis methods for circuits understand how design concepts are realized and study some high level applications including logic circuits amplifiers filters and communication links 3 Topics covered Circuits currents and voltages Power and energy Kirchhoff s Current Law Kirchhoff s Voltage Law Resistive circuits Th venin and Norton equivalent circuits Node Mesh Superposition analysis Introduction to SPICE Inductance and capacitance Transient circuit analysis Phasors Frequency response Bode plots Resonance Operational Amplifiers Ideal operational amplifiers Inverting and non inverting amplifiers Design of simple amplifiers Op amp imperfections in the linear range of operation Integrators and differentiators Semiconductors doping holes and electrons Basic concepts in fabrication lithography etch deposition testing Diodes Basic concepts Load line analysis of diode circuits Ideal diode model Piecewise linear diode models Rectifier circuits Amplifiers Basic amplifier concepts Cascaded amplifiers Ideal amplifiers Frequency response MOSFET NMOS and PMOS transistors Load line analysis of a simple NMOS amplifier Bias circuits Small signal equivalent circuits Logic circuits CMOS logic gates Flip flops registers counters adder memories bus controllers Communication systems spectrum modulation multiplexing error correcting codes lossy and lossless compression public key cryptosystems 4 Contribution of course meeting the professional component To be determined by the Undergraduate Study Committee 5 Relationship of course to program outcomes a Students are expected to apply basic principles of mathematics such as derivatives and integration to understanding transient responses A low level understanding of electricity is facilitated by using water flow pressure analogies Using these tools students can analyze simple circuits such as MOSFET common source amplifier and CMOS inverter b In lab students follow standard lab exercises but do need to be able to interpret their measurements in terms of their understanding of operational principles c It is unlikely that most students would be able to design a system component or process after completing EE100 However they would know that such circuits can be designed and understand their basic principles of operation d By learning basic EE principles engineers in other fields will be better able to communicate needs when working in multidisciplinary teams with EE s e Students learn how to apply circuit analysis techniques such as KCL and KVL as well as how to include dependent sources in circuits to model active components such as MOSFETs and op amps f Ethics is briefly mentioned in terms of safety when working with electricity and what dangerous voltage current levels are In terms of basic circuit analysis there has not been much ethical connection made g To motivate students contemporary technological issues are used as examples at various points through the semester Specific examples from Spring 2009 were LED driver circuits and switching amplifiers Students were presented with a contemporary switching amplifier schematic and shown how to understand the function of all the component circuits h In the lab students learn to use oscilloscope function generator power supply and typical analog and digital components Lab exercises also introduce students to schematic entry and Spice simulation tools 5 Prepared by Kameshwar Poolla Spring 2009
