08/08: Midterm 2 solutions.  Histogram coming soon.

08/07: IC Technology Slides posted.

08/06: To clear up confusion in office hours today on problem 10.28, 5V is the rating on the Zener diode.  Since we assume that it is ideal, when it is reverse biased (i_z > 0), then we assume the voltage drop is 5V.  This ensures that i_L could be calculated the same way we would for a linear circuit load since the voltage is in one of two states.  Linear optimizations always occur at the extrema.

08/05: Homework 7 posted. Due 5PM on Wednesday, August 13th.

07/31: Midterm 1 solutions have been relinked below.
