Computer engineering integrates circuits and systems onto small silicon pieces, with specialists in areas like silicon devices, CMOS circuits, and system architecture. The field has made significant advances, aiming to build large information systems on tiny chips. Modern microprocessors, consisting of a core and peripheral devices, are designed to solve complex problems in real-time with minimized energy consumption. These System-On-the-Chip (SOC) designs must consider electrical laws, signal interferences, and noise due to high frequencies and low feeding voltages. Lectures in electronic engineering cover electric engineering basics, transistor basics, and circuit design, using the quadripole analysis method to investigate and design transmission lines and transistor circuits. Key concepts include electric current, voltage, resistance, and power, with units such as amperes, volts, ohms, and watts. Ohm's law relates voltage, current, and resistance, while impedance is a more complex concept. Resistors, voltage sources, and current sources are essential components in electric circuits, with ideal sources having zero inner resistance or unlimited inner resistance.
