Set # #12 Analysis of the characteristic points on the BJT inverter VTC. 14 * in 4.2 calculate the capacitance per unit area, since the parameters L and W are not specified. The minimum required homework set is the result of a compromise made with the past generations of students who had complained that the double number of problems presented them with too much work. Current students willing to acquire a solid knowledge of the subject are strongly advised to solve twice as many problems, including those from past exams posted on the course homepage. 3.2 Policy on credit for homework assignments For full credit on problem solutions: 3.21 give answers to all questions, Problem Set Contents S emester week due #1 Analysis of problem areas in the exams of previous two semesters. 1 #2 2.2, 2.3, 2.7, 2.9, 2.12, 2.23, 2.27 2 #3 2.45, 2.52, 3.1, 3.2, 3.8, 3.13, 3.18; 2.50 - bonus point, 3 #4 3.22, 3.26, 3.35, 3.43, 3.48, 3.51, 3.56, 4 #5 3.58, 3.66, 3.69, 3.71, 3.72, 3.73, 3.77. 5 #6 3.78, 3.83, 3.86, 3.92, 3.100(a), 3.109. 6 #7 4.2*, 4.4, 4.6, 4.8, 4.10, 4.15, 4.22. 8 #8 Analysis of the characteristic points on the CMOS inverter VTC. 9 #9 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 6.11. 11 #10 Calculation of I/O Parasitic Capacitances of the CMOS inverter circuit. 12 #11 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, 5.13, 5.31, 5.32, 5.35. 13 3.22 show the original and auxiliary circuit models with circuiit elements labelled by their parameters (which are not the parameter values), 3.23 indicate in the circuit model the positive reference directions of all voltages and currents which are involved in the solution process, 3.24 provide all symbolic and numerical expressions whose evaluation produces shown numerical results, 3.25 apply the determinant method for solving sets of simultaneous algebraic equations.
3.3Policy on submission of Homework Reports s15s_elct7.fm - 6 3.31 This policy promotes good planning habits. The fact that something went wrong the morning of the due day does not make a case for delaying the due time. We ought to be prepared for the day when something unusual happens. 3.32 All homework reports (solutions) are due at the beginning of the last class of the week. 3.33 In order to discourage the practice of preparing the reports during the time scheduled for classes, the absolute deadline for handing in the homework reports is five minutes after the time scheduled for the beginning of the class. 3.34 Homework reports handed in after the deadline, but before the beginning of the first class of the next week are accepted for half credit. 3.35 Homework reports are not considered turned in if they are not completly covered by a completely filled out cover sheet posted at the course webpage. 4.
