EECE 254 Course Outline
Note that specific material covered in the lectures is compiled from various
sources. Where possible, the following list gives the relevant sections from
the text by Sedra & Smith (Microelectronic
Circuits, 5th Edition) for cross-reference; some sections listed
many not have been covered completely. Note that this list is also a
list of required reading for the course.
These readings are available from the UBC bookstore as a course pack
if you do not wish to purchase the textbook.
