ANALOG ARE US |
Fall 1999

The focus of this course is on the analysis and design of the analog parts of
integrated circuits. These are the difficult, but most interesting parts of the IC's and
control the leading edge products like modems and wireless communications products.
Most ``high-tech'' products and projects depend on ICs, and a good understanding of the
basic working and capabilities is crucial for every engineer. Because of this, you may
consider taking EECS 105 even if you are not a ``core IC person'', but rather specialize
in a field that depends on ICs indirectly, such as communications, controls, or
computers.
Announcements
Reading
for 1st Week: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.61, 2.62.
Reading for 2nd Week: 2.5, 2.63, 3.1. Read examples 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 very carefully!
Reading for 3rd Week: 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.41, 3.42, 3.43
Reading for 4th Week: 3.5, 3.6.1, 3.6.2, 3.6.3, 3.7, 3.8,
3.9.
Reading for 5th Week: Read in detail 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, 4.6. From 4.4 you
only need to know the concept of the "gradual channel approximation" in p212,
understand figures 4.14 & 4.15, and Eqs 4.46, 4.47, Eq 4.50, 4.56, 4.57 and 4.58. From
4.5.4 it is important to understand Eqs 4.83 & 4.84.
Reading for 6th Week: 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 (in detail).
Equation 6.22 is key, as well as all equations on page 347. Also read 7.1 and 7.2. Make
sure you understand Figure 7.8 and section 7.2.3.
Reading for 7th Week: Figures 7.14, 7.15. Section 7.5. Overall, you should
understand well the Forward Active Mode and the Saturation Mode of the BJT. Calculation of
the small signal model under FAM is key. Example 7.5 is important.
Reading for 8th Week: 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, (example 8.3 is important!), 8.4, 8.5. Also,
9.4 (voltage and current sources). Next week we will go back to chapter 8 to complete the
discussion on CE/CS, CG/CB, CC/CD amps.
Reading for 9th Week: Complete 94, and go back to 8.6, 8.8, 8.9. The important
thing this week is to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the various BJT (CE,
CC, CB) and MOS (CS, CD, CG) amps. Tables 8.3 and 8.4 are good references.
Reading for 10th Week (frequency response, etc.): Click here to meet the inventor of
"phasors"! Also, read the "Sinusoidal Analysis and Phasors" appendix
from your Lab manual, as well as 10.1 from the book. For a discussion on decades and
octaves click here.
Reading for 11th Week: 10.2, 10.3, 10.4.1, 10.4.2, 10.4.3 (you may want to look
ahead a bit and read 10.4.4, 10.4.5 too)
Reading for 12th Week: 10.5, 10.6 (i.e. finish up frequency response of
single-stage amps) and 9.1, 9.2 (i.e. introduction to multi-stage amps).
Reading for 13th Week: 9.3, 9.4 (as a review - we covered this in week 8... pay
attention to figure 9.30 though), 9.5.
Reading for 14th Week: 9.6 (i.e. finish up multi-stage amps) and 10.7 (i.e. preview
frequency response of multi-stage amps.
Reading for 15th Week: Finish chapter 10, and study 11.1, 11.2, 11.3
The Final Exam was
graded. The average was 69, and the sigma 17. You can stop by and see your exam in Prof.
Spanos' office during the week of 12/13, by appointment.
The Final Class Grades have been posted outside 568 Cory on 12/13.
Happy
Holidays!

COMMUNICATION VIA EMAIL AND NEWSGROUPS
The best way to ask a question is via the newsgroup, ucb.class.ee105. Professor Spanos and
the TAs will make it a life mission to check the newsgroup vigilantly to answer questions.
It aids us as well because by answering questions publicly on the newsgroup allows us to
answer them for the whole class and not individually. If you post and don't get a quick
response, please go ahead and email us via the links above. Instructions for using
newsgroups at Berkeley is available for Unix machines (via trn) here, for
PCs (via Outlook Express) here,
and for Macs (via NewsWatcher) here.Most web
browsers today will simply let you click the link and open the correct newsgroup as
well. View the EE105 Newsgroup,
