EE 212   Title: INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING (FOR CMPE)   Credits: 3   Catalog Description: Conduction mechanism in metals and semi-conductors.  Doping in semi-conductors; p-n junction.  Diode characteristics and applications.  Power supplies.  Bipolar junction transistor operation.  Transistor characteristics, transistor biasing.  JFET operation and biasing.  MOSFET operation and biasing.  Introduction to digital electronics.  Logic families: RTL, DTL, TTL, ECL, NMOS and CMOS.  MSI logic: Multiplexers, Decoders, etc.  Memory circuits: ROM’s and RAM’s.    Prerequisite: EE 210. Coordinator: Burak Acar, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering Goals: This course’s goal is to get the 2nd year CS students acquainted with the basics of analog and digital electronics. They will be introduced to semiconductors and the transistors, their modes of operation in the first part of the course. The digital electronics part will be on the basic concepts of digital electronics and the underlying electronics of some commonly used digital circuits.   Learning Objectives: At the end of this course, the students will: Have an understanding of the operation of a pn-junction Know how the BJTs and FETs operate Be able to analyse and synthesize DC biasing circuits for transistors Have an understanding of AC/DC conversion Know the characteristics of digital circuits (Transition regions, noise margins, etc.) Analyze and synthesize different digital inverter circuits Know the operation principles of common digital circuit applications Be able to analyze these circuits Textbook: No single textbook is used   Reference Texts: Analog Section: R.L.

At least 4 hours per semester will be used for recitation / problem solving sessions. There are two in-class mid-term examinations and a final examination. Attendance is strongly encouraged but not obligatory.   Computer Resources: None   Laboratory Resources: None.   Grading: Homework sets (15%) Two mid-term exams (27% each). A final exam (31%). Outcome Coverage: Apply math, science and engineering knowledge.  The course is based on an understanding of the physical phenomena (esp. in the diode theory section), as well as solutions to ODEs (eg. capacitive circuits) and a understanding of binary logic and the digital gates. Use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. The students will develop ‘skills’ to qualitatively analyze an electronic circuit, have an idea about how it works and what it does and then use the basic tools (Circuit Theory, Transistor Characteristics, Logic Gates’ Characteristics, etc.) to analyze it quantitatively.
