Fall 1998

The AMD K6 processor. 6 million transistors. You will design similiar stuff in EECS 105.

The focus of this course is on the analysis and design of basic analog and digital integrated circuits. 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.

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 publically 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 below. 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.
