Description
This theory/lab course is a continuation of Semiconductor Devices and will focus on analog circuits configured as linear amplifiers. Topics to be covered include: BJT and FET amplifier configurations, linear amplifier gain, multistage amplifiers, power amplifiers, amplifier frequency response, operational amplifiers, photo transistors, active filters, oscillators, and tuned amplifier circuits. The lab component of the course is designed to reinforce theory by providing hands-on applications through a series of related lab projects. Students will build, test, measure, troubleshoot, and design a number of complex analog amplifier circuits using proto-boards. Prerequisite: ETC125.
