Electronic Circuits and Systems Design

(Formerly numbered 164DA.) Design of analog circuits, components and systems, emphasizing theoretical foundations and hands-on experience. Design of key analog and digital building blocks according to given specifications or in the form of open-ended problems. Introduction to advanced topics related to projects through lectures and laboratories. Creation by students of end-to-end systems in application context, managing trade-offs across subsystems while meeting constraints and optimizing metrics related to cost, performance, ease of use, manufacturability, testing, and other real-world issues. Oral and written presentations of project results are required. In Progress grading (credit to be given only on completion of course 115DW).
