Suggested reading materials
A.S. Sedra, K.C. Smith. Microelectronics Circuits. Quarta edizione, Oxford University Press, 1998.
Testing and exams
Final examination includes a open-book written test on circuit analysis and a closed-book test with questions on A/D and D/A interfaces and analog electronic circuits discussed in the lectures.
During the course, two midterm open-book written tests are proposed.
The final written test on circuit analysis is not required for students with positive results in both midterm tests, as long as the closed-book test is passed before the beginning of the following semester.
