Poll on time availability Would like to use Wed 6pm as primary R11 as secondary Would like everyone to come to W6, at least part of the time If one cannot finish on W, or has to leave early, one can continue on R11

Office hours Regular office hours: MWF11-12 I’ll post my weekly schedule on my door, you can pick any open slot and sign up for an office visit If there are 3 or more students make a request, we can have a group “help” session Time:

Grading Homework: 15% Midterm Exam: 15~20% Final Exam: 30~35% Lab and Lab Reports: 10% Project 1 Report: 10% Project 2 Report: 15%

Laboratory There will be weekly laboratory experiments. The laboratory will be either on electronic measurements or on VLSI CAD design and simulation. A written report after each topic is completed

Design Projects Everyone will design a two-stage op amp Teams will design various digital to analog converters or analog to digital converters Additional details will be given after relevant material is covered in class. The option will exist to have these projects fabricated through the MOSIS program.

Additional Comments E-mail communication is strongly encouraged Personal visit to my office is also encouraged Either academic or non-academic Anytime is OK Classroom participation is strongly encouraged I prefer an interactive class I feel nervous when the class is too quiet So, do me a favor and ask questions and answer questions

First week lab Electronic measurements Extra Cadence simulation lab Required for everybody Finish in one week Report due at beginning of lab in second week Extra Cadence simulation lab Not required for people with B or better in EE330 Show simulation results to any instructor
