Electronic Devices

Catalog description

Introductory course in Electronic devices looking at modern components used in current electronic systems. This course will develop techniques to analyze basic semiconductor devices such as diodes, field effect transistors and bipolar transistors. Specific diode circuits covered include: rectifying, clipping, and clamping circuit configurations. Methods to model, analyze and bias the basic transistor amplification circuits will be developed. Lab exercises will explore these types of circuit both in physical prototyping and simulation.
