EL 154 - Electronics I Credit Hours: 3
This course will introduce students to the following topics: presentation of solid-state physics concepts underlying semi-conductors; P-N materials, diode characteristics; LED, half-wave and bridge rectifiers; simple capacitor filter; Zener characteristics; use as a voltage regulator; bipolar and FET transistor theory and characteristics; switching-mode operation; circuit configurations; biasing and amplification.
Course Outcomes Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- describe the characteristics of silicon and germanium diodes;
- identify the operating conditions of diodes and their functions in simple DC circuits;
- explain the functional blocks of a basic power supply;
- identify and describe the characteristics of the three BJT amplifier configurations;
- analyze the DC load line and Q point that describes the various biasing arrangements that are used with the three BJT configurations;
- identify and describe the characteristics of the FET amplifier;
- analyze the DC load line and Q paint that describes the various FET biasing arrangements; and
- identify and use appropriate technical literature for a research project.
