ELEC196 - Solid State and Active Devices
Credit Hours: 4.0
This course is a study of solid-state devices such as the pn junction, semiconductor diodes, and zener diodes. It also examines active devices such as the Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT), the Field Effect Transistor (FET), operational amplifiers for small signal amplification, oscillators, and Multivibrators for signal generation. This course will also include discussion of signal rectification, wave-shaping circuits, system gain, and discrete semiconductors as related to the analysis of special purpose circuits. System design, analysis, and testing will be performed in the laboratory with the appropriate lab test bench equipment.
