Microelectronic Circuits:
Interactive Learning
· This site presents resources for interactive learning of microelectronic circuits.
· Link to circuits animation using an open-source javascript-based circuit simulator are included.
· LTSpice Simulation files for the topics covered in undergraduate senior-level circuits course based on the Microelectronics Circuits Textbook by B. Razavi. The file names in the zip correspond to the figure number in the book.
· Students may also refer to the Online Lecture Videos provided for the course material.
