    Reviews the theory of linear circuits and extends it to simple two- and three-terminal nonlinear circuits. Considers the solid-state theory of the PN diode as an example of the two-terminal device, and the NPN, PNP, and field-effect devices as examples of the three-terminal elements. Includes light-sensitive and heat-sensitive solid-state devices. Considers the problem of selecting an operating point for a nonlinear device, and the corresponding practical methods of providing the required biases. Introduces the small-signal linear model for the nonlinear device in the vicinity of the operating point. Discusses frequency response of such models. Also reviews Mason's signal flow graph concepts. Examines operational amplifiers, specifically their ideal behavior. Computer simulations required.

    Continues EET U321. Examines the physical devices used to realize digital circuits, as a complement to the previous treatment of idealized mathematical models. Introduces the concepts of rise-time, fall-time, setup time, hold-time, delay-time, and the maximum frequency of a clock. Discusses the presently available logic families such as TTL, CMOS, and EC, and considers interconnection problems. Introduces memory elements and field-programmable logic elements. Presents interfacing devices such as analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. Some computer simulations required.
