This document provides information about the prerequisites and focus of the EE290C - Spring 2011 course on High-Speed Electrical Interface Circuit Design.

The prerequisites include a minimum of EE141 and EE240, with EE241 also helpful. The course assumes familiarity with basic data converters, Verilog/VHDL, and basic transmission lines. Exposure to communications and signal processing is also beneficial but not required, as important points will be covered. 

The course will focus on circuit design for modern electrical interfaces, which are now complex mixed-signal communication systems. The goal is to learn how to design an optimized link for a given application. Grading will be based on homework, a group project to design a high-speed interface
