Capacitors, inductors, RC and RL switching circuits, transformers, rectifiers, linear voltage regulators, dependent sources, operational amplifiers, and BJT and MOSFET based small signal amplifiers are studied. Circuit fundamentals such as Ohms Law, Kirchhoff’s laws and Thevenin’s theorem are used to analyze and design circuits. Computer simulation is used.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be expected to:

  1. Explain the characteristics of capacitors, inductors, rectifier diodes, Zener diodes, IC voltage regulators, bipolar junction transistors (BJT’s), field effect transistors (FET’s), and general- purpose op amps.
  2. Apply the principles of circuit analysis to the following major electronic circuits: power supplies, op-amps, BJT and FET biasing, amplifiers, wave shape generators, RC and RL circuits, and transformer circuits.
  3. Simulate the above circuits and compare actual data and simulated data.
  4. Construct electronic circuits according to a given schematic and make electrical measurements using digital multimeters, signal generators, and oscilloscopes.
  5. Analyze and design basic linear and/or switching power supplies.
  6. Illustrate the role of mathematical models in electronics problem solving.
  7. Interpret the data of laboratory experiments.
