[sdiy] New lectures on transistor-level Analog Electronics (Georgia Tech course)

[Jean-Pierre Desrochers]

I can remember Malvino's textbook, Electronic Principles was used in my
electronics courses
back in the late 70’s. I still have it ! Great book !

I have just started watching Aaron's videos, and they are great.

 

HOWEVER, I would strongly recommend getting a book.  The best one I've seen
on transistors is probably Malvino's textbook, Electronic Principles.  I had
the 3rd edition (on long-term loan from my university library; I don't have
it anymore), and I remember it having some very very good, thorough, and
easy-to-understand chapters on transistors.

[CAUTION: Non-UBC Email]

If you watch the introductory video, I believe Aaron explains the
prerequisites, including suggestions of his own videos and also Coursera
classes "Linear Circuits 1: DC Analysis" and "Linear Circuits 2: AC
Analysis". Then he says you should follow that up with her class
"Introduction to Electronics". I was intending to follow along as he
released these videos, but have not been able to set aside the time
unfortunately.

Hey Aaron,
thanks a lot for making this available.
I emailed you a while back, but maybe the message got lost. Is this
set of lectures good for someone as an introduction to semiconductors,
or would some prerequisites be missing?

Best regards

Georgia Tech's junior-level elective focusing on transistor-level design,
pulled out at the last minute, so I agreed to take it over this fall. I’m
posting materials to this playlist:

next set is on superposition with dependent sources (it turns out you can
deactivate the dependent sources, unlike what the books say, you just have
to be careful how to do it). The main course proper starts with the lectures
at the bottom of the list specifically labeled “ECE3400 Lecture Whatever.”
Lectures 2-4 are on diodes; 5-7 on BJTs; 7-9 on BJT biasing; 10-12 on
Thevenin & Norton equivalents looking into the terminals of the BJT small
signal model (important concept in the particular way I teach the material),
13-15 on the common single-transistor amplifier types, and 16-18 on
multistage amplifiers
 with more to come!
