·         Lab has been posted

·         Additional Notes, Quiz Solutions, Equation Sheet Posted

·         HW 7 and 8 Solutions posted

·         Thanks to James for pointing out a minor error in the solution for Segment 0. The ABCD = 0000 case should result in a true, which would need an additional term (not)B anded with (not)D. This would result in an additional AND gate and OR gate. Total number of chips would be 18 instead of 17.

Additional Notes

·         Op-Amp and BJT Extra Notes: Not official lecture notes, but should follow closely. The comment on Page 2 is to think about what changes when the positive terminal isn’t grounded.

The comment on Page 4 says to skip the beginning of the page and go to Bib = Ic equation. I wrote it in a poor manner that doesn’t make much sense.
