Course Catalog Description

The instrumentation lab (formerly Basic Semiconductor Circuits) is an introductory course in basic design, analysis and modeling of circuits, and data analysis and control. Topics include but not limited to: linear circuits, semiconductor diodes, JFETS, Op-Amps, Labview programming, ADC and DAC converters, signal processing, and feedback control.

Class Notes

Physics 111A lab hours are M 12-4 p.m. and TWTHF 1-5 p.m. Physics 111A meets the first day of class, you must stop by lab 282, and pick up your electronics kit between 1-4pm.

Physics 111A lab hours are M 12-4 p.m. and TWTHF 1-5 p.m. Physics 111A meets the first day of class, you must stop by lab 282, and pick up your electronics kit between 1-4pm. You must attend the weekly lecture (on the first lecture we give an overview), therefore YOU NEED TO RESOLVE ANY TIME CONFLICT BETWEEN THE LECTURE AND OTHER CLASSES. You must have at least two free afternoons each week to spend in the lab. The labs do not create time conflicts. See lab staff for more information.

Enrollment: please use this form (https://forms.gle/WDWJ3c42toaE4vqy8) to request enrollment into Physics 111A and Physics 111B for Spring 2025. Note that we'll prioritize physics majors with F25 EGT for Physics 111A and Physics majors with S25 EGT for Physics 111B. The enrollment team will automatically enroll students from the waitlist with these EGTs beginning October 28th, so please be sure to leave phase I units open for the enrollment if you are in the EGT mentioned above (EGT= Expected Graduation Term.) If you have any questions, please contact Nitin Srivastava, nitin.srivastava@berkeley.edu.

All other students will be placed on a secondary waitlist and won't be enrolled until a week before the start of the semester, space permitting.
