Reading Assignments for Nov. 16–20 (11/14/2026)

• M: Subsections 7.3.6, 5.1.7, 5.1.8, 5.2.5, and 5.3 (focus on PMOS examples)
• W: Introduction to Part III, Subsections 16.1.1 and 16.1.2, and Sections 16.2 and 16.3
• F: [canceled]

The Monday readings from Chapter 5 all focus on p-channel MOSFETs (PMOS devices). In Section  5.3, focus on the examples that involve PMOS devices.

Focus on Subsection 16.2.2 when you read Section 16.2. The introduction to Part III of the textbook includes a brief history of the development of digital logic circuits that helps provide context for the material in Chapter 16.

Selected Answers to HW #8 (11/14/2026)

Answers to selected graded problems in HW #8 are now available on the Homework Assignments page.

Exam #2 Solutions (11/13/2026)

The solutions to Exam #2 are now available at the course Moodle site.

Exam #2 Results (11/12/2026)

The average score for Exam #2 was 76.5. The average score breakdowns for the individual problems (converted to percentages) were:

• Prob. 1 - 80%
• Prob. 2 - 72%
• Prob. 3 - 56%
• Prob. 4 - 82%
• Prob. 5 - 87%

Process Technology Tables (11/12/2026)

A PDF copy of the MOSFET and BJT process technology tables from the 8th edition of Sedra & Smith (our textbook) is now available at the course Moodle site in the "Additional Resources" section. The MOSFET table is referenced several times in the latest homework problems.

Lecture Section Cancellations (11/11/2026)

Because the three in-semester exams were scheduled to take place at times outside the normal lecture time, three lecture meetings will be canceled to make up for them. The dates of the canceled lectures were determined by class vote. The lecture on Friday, October 9 was the first one to be canceled. The next two cancellations are:

• Friday, November 20
• Friday, December 4

HW #8 (11/10/2026)

The assignment for HW #8 is now available. It is due via Moodle at 11:59 pm on Monday, November 16.

Lecture Notes on CG Amp (11/10/2026)

The supplemental reading "Voltage Transfer Characteristic of the Common-Gate Amplifier" is now available at the course Moodle site. It should prove to be very helpful for those lab groups who decide to assemble a CG amp for Lab #4. The notes include a plot of the output voltage vs. input voltage (i.e., the voltage transfer characteristic) with labels on the parts of the curve that correspond to the three regions of operation of the MOSFET.

Selected Answers to HW #7 (11/8/2026)

The answers to selected graded problems in HW #7 are now available on the Homework Assignments page.

Help Sessions for Nov. 9–13 (11/8/2026)

I plan to be available at least at the following times this week:

• Monday 12:00–12:45 pm (BRKI 368)
• Monday 2:00–3:00 pm (BRKI 368)
• Tuesday 3:00–3:45 pm (BRKI 368)
• Wednesday 2:00–3:00 pm (BRKI 368)
• Wednesday 10:00–10:45 pm (Zoom)
• Thursday 10:00–10:45 pm (Zoom)
• Friday 2:00–3:00 pm (BRKI 368)

Additional times might be added after the ENGR 495/695 review session has been scheduled.

I am also usually available right after class.

Guidelines and additional information:

• Please contact me if you have a conflict with these times and would like to schedule a meeting at a different time.
• The Zoom link is available at the course Moodle site.
• If I am helping another student when you drop by, you may usually join in the conversation.
• If I have been helping you for a relatively long time, I might pause our conversation to help other students who are waiting for assistance.
• For in-person sessions, if I have finished helping you, please move out to the hall or somewhere else so that the chairs in my office are clear for newly arriving students.
• As a courtesy during Zoom sessions, please use your camera.

Reading Assignments for Nov. 9–13 (11/7/2026)

• M: Subsections 7.3.0 through 7.3.5 and 7.5.1
• W: Subsections 5.2.4 and 5.4.1 through 5.4.5
• F: Subsections 7.3.6, 5.1.7, 5.1.8, and 5.2.5

Much of Chapter 7 applies to both MOSFETs and BJTs; for now, you may focus on the MOSFET material.

The Friday readings from Chapter 5 all focus on p-channel MOSFETs (PMOS devices).

HW #7 (11/3/2026)

The assignment for HW #7 is now available. It is due via Moodle at 11:59 pm on Monday, November 9.

Lab #4 Assignment (11/3/2026)

The assignment for Lab #4 is now available on the Laboratory page.
