Syllabus:

• Course information.
• Schedule of classes and labs.
• Lab write up info.

---

Analog adders, DA converters, comparators (March6)
Op-amp comparators.

Why do we need sometimes comparators with hysterezis?

---

Junction transistor issues:

• Darlington Transistor (Feb. 20).
• Single-package Darlington transistor TIP 140.

---

Filters (Feb. 6):

• Frequency response of RC and LC filters
• How circuit analysis works in the S-domain (FYI only, we are not going to talk about the "S-domain analysis of circuits", it's a topic important for electric engineers -- but if you want to know the basic facts about that approach, this a good source).
• Capacitor or inductor connected to an ideal AC voltage source (pages copied from the R.D. Knight text used in Ph213, to refresh your memory).

Resistor networks (Jan. 30):

• Infinite grid (square lattice) of resistors.
• Triangular and hexagonal (honeycomb) resistor lattices.
