TEXTBOOK:

Microelectronic Circuits, Sedra and Smith, Oxford Press, 6th edition, 2010.

SOFTWARE:

LTspice

GOALS:

To introduce the student to basic physical electronics, electronic devices, and device characteristics. The devices include diodes, bipolar junction transistors (BJT), fieldeffect transistors (FET), and operational amplifiers (Op-Amp). To provide the fundamentals and basic skills required to analyze (DC and small-signal analysis) and design circuits containing diodes, BJTs, FETs, and op-amps.

University of Idaho POLICIES:

Fall 2012 You must receive a passing grade (>70% or “C”) for the homework and quizzes in order to pass the course. Homework will be assigned on a weekly basis. Several of the assigned problems (1-3, unknown to you) will be graded. Late submissions of assignments are not encouraged; however, if you cannot finish in time and submit late, a 25% per day compounding deduction will be applied on the final grade. (Ex.:100 points assignment submitted 3 days late will be graded on 42 points, 1 day on 75, 2 days 56, 4 days 32, etc.). Homework is considered to be 1 day late if it is not turned in after 3:20 PM on the day it is due. Homework and exam scores become final one week after they are returned. I will not accept any assignment solutions dropped in my office mailbox without getting my permission earlier. Use of electronic devices is not allowed during lecture time. This includes, but is not limited to: MP3 players, cell phones, laptop computers, cameras, voice recorders, etc. Use of textbook’s solution manual is prohibited.

ACADEMIC HONESTY:

Academic honesty is governed by Article II of the University of Idaho’s Student Code of Conduct http://www.webs.uidaho.edu/fsh/2300.html. Cheating on classroom or outside assignments, including examinations is a violation of this code. Incidents of academic dishonesty will be kept on file by the instructor and may be reported to the dean of students. Such instances of academic dishonesty may warrant expulsion from the course and a failing grade. All students should be aware that even one incident of academic dishonesty may also merit expulsion from the University.

MAKE-UP POLICIES:

Only students presenting medical or official university excuses to the instructor will be allowed to take a make-up exam or quiz, or make up other missed assignments. Whether an absence is deemed to be excusable or not is at the discretion of the instructor. Whenever possible, arrangements should be made with the instructor prior to the regularly scheduled exam or assignment due date. Making these arrangements is entirely the responsibility of the student. Make up exams and quizzes may differ from those given at the regularly scheduled time.

GRADING POLICY:

No sliding scale or curve will be used in determining your final grade. Your letter grade will be assigned based on the University of Idaho’s scale shown below. 90% -100% 80% - 89% 70% - 79% 60% - 69% 0% - 59%
