Advanced Electronics (ECA)

Catalog description

This course covers advanced topics associated with the analysis of electronic devices and circuits. Fundamental mathematical modeling and applications of solid-state devices and operational amplifiers include device characteristics of p-n junction diodes, bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFET); analysis of diode circuits, linear power supplies and transistor switching circuits; and an introduction to design in the context of single-stage MOSFET amplifiers and operational amplifiers in standard configurations. Laboratory, simulation and documentation experiences reinforce the lecture material.
