Analog and Digital Electronics

These are lecture notes on analog and digital electronics, for a course for senior physics undergraduates. Caveat emptor: I believe these notes to be of high quality, but they are not “mature” yet in the sense that there may still be many typos in the manuscript (and much is left to be written). I will put corrections in as I find them, and you can always contact me if you have corrections or comments.

You can download the notes here as one big file: (pdf, several MB).

Instructors may contact me for a version with solutions to problems included.

If you use these notes for your class, please let me know!
