<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=055074816-25092022>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.</SPAN></DIV><BR>

<DIV dir=ltr>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.</DIV><BR>

teach ECE3400: Analog Electronics, 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

The first set of lectures are recycled; they review op amp circuits. The 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!<BR>><BR>> I’m not using the official
textbook for the class. I’m instead basing the exposition on work by my
colleague Marshall Leach:<BR>><BR>> <A

(ECE3400 used to be called ECE3050).<BR>><BR>> And here’s his paper on
