EE 200

Electric Circuits (3 Cr.)

Prerequisite: CS 105

Description: Usually taken after EE210, this course is more theoretical than digital electronics. It emphasizes the basic principles on which digital electronics are based. Exploring these principles leads one to conclude that all electronics are really analog. Effects seen in digital circuits may be due to unanticipated capacitance or inductance. It is important to understand how these transient phenomena arise. It is also often useful to have an analog section in a primarily digital circuit. Topics in this course include passive components, series and parallel circuits, two-terminal networks, two-port networks, circuit reduction techniques, impedance analysis, measurement of waveforms, power, and filters. It also looks at operational amplifiers, step responses of various simple circuits, and the Laplace transform.
