 Lecture Sunday 10: :55 Wednesday 1:35 – 2:25  Tutorial Sunday 11: :45 Sunday 4:10 - 4:55  Lab Wednesday 2:25 - 4:55

 Class Test10  Assignments 5  Attendance/Performance

 Date for Class Test will be announced upon getting academic calendar  Date for the Retest will be announced upon getting academic calendar  Assignments to be submitted will be announced as we progress  Surprise Tests will be conducted during lecture hours The performance in the lecture class, surprise test as well as attendance of the students will be evaluated

 Be regular, punctual and prepared in the class  Actively participate in the lectures  Discuss your ideas / Ask questions  Refer to appropriate books and websites for details  Don't spend undue amount of time on minor points  Do all submission properly and on time  Experiment with understanding, not by merely following the given steps

 Allen and Holberg CMOS Analog Circuit Design  Sedra and Smith Microelectronic Circuits  Coughlin, Driscoll (and also same title by Gayakwad) Op-amp and Linear ICs  Paul Horowitz, Winfield Hill The Art of Electronics  Millman and Halkias Integrated Electronics Recommended text book, but may be a little advanced at this stage. The students should not get discouraged for not being able to follow this book properly. Consider buying one of these two as a general reference book in Electronics Consider buying one of these two as a general reference book in Electronics You will find many copies of this book in the library

 Semiconductor Devices Students learn about diodes, transistors and related circuits  Electronic Circuit I Enhance the knowledge by exposing the students to larger and more complex circuits

 Students have already acquired the concept of op- amp and its simple applications  Electronic Circuit I deals with various aspects of op-amp in detail including its internal circuitry  Electronic Circuit I also covers widely applied electronic blocks such as power supplies, power amplifiers and oscillators

 Circuit Theory in Electronics is highly inter- related  Students are required to possess adequate fundamental knowledge to fully understand this subject  Refresh understanding of circuit theory by revising topics on diodes, transistors, op-amp, frequency response

 In the lack of sufficient background, this subject may prove to be extremely difficult  BUT once you have the foundation, this is one of the most exciting areas of Electronics to explore!

Here are few things you may want to know beyond what is taught in class.
