Electronic Circuits

Catalog description

Analysis of time-dependent electrical circuits. Dynamic waveforms and elements: inductors, capacitors, and transformers. First- and second-order circuits, passive and active. Analysis of sinusoidal steady state response using phasors. Laplace transforms and pole-zero diagrams. S-domain circuit analysis. Two-port networks, impulse response, and transfer functions. Introduction to nonlinear semiconductor devices: diodes, BJTs, and FETs. Gain-bandwidth product, slew-rate and other limitations of real devices. SPICE simulation and laboratory exercises reinforce course materials. Prereq: ENGR 210 . Prereq or Coreq: MATH 224 .
