ELECTRONICS I

Catalog description

Three hours of lecture per week. An introductory course in electronics and microelectronics that covers semiconductor fundamentals, operational amplifiers, diodes, BJTs, MOSFETs, and basic digital switching. The course aims to build a solid understanding of these basic electronic devices by providing a clear understanding of device operation on a physical level, and then complements this with applications, analysis, and design of electronic circuits. Students will use computer tools, develop analytical skills, and learn how to interpret manufacturer’s data sheets to design electronic circuits commonly encountered in consumer electronics and industrial applications.
