This course covers the analysis and design of analog integrated circuits using semiconductor devices. Topics include:
Discussion and the exchange of ideas are essential to doing academic work. For assignments in this course, you are encouraged to consult with your classmates as you work on problem sets. However, after discussions with peers, make sure that you can work through the problem yourself and ensure that any answers you submit for evaluation are the result of your own efforts. List the names of students with whom you have collaborated on problem sets.
