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.
