Goals/Instructional Objective:
This course is
intended to provide students with basic knowledge of electronics circuits,
emphasizing circuits using transistors and operational amplifiers. This course is to educate the student to be
able to: 1. analyze and design DC-bias networks for BJT's and FET's. 2.
analyze and design circuits using single FET's and BJT's for the
purposes of small signal amplification and impedance matching, including the
design and analysis of the frequency response for these circuits. 3. analyze
and design differential amplifiers DC-bias and frequency response 4.
analyze and design the four basic feedback topologies. Determine stability and design feedback
circuits that are stable. 5. analyze
and design various oscillating circuits 6. analyze multistage and power
amplifier circuit biasing, efficiency and amplification, including interstage
loading effects. 7. perform basic heat transfer problems in high power
applications 8. Introduce digital applications of transistors and technologies

Computer Usage: Pspice is used on some homework
assignments, and designs.
Design Experience:
This
course provides design experience in the design of electronics circuits, for which
no unique solution exists. These
include amplifiers, oscillators, feedback networks, and digital
electronics. In amplifiers for example,
multiple design specifications must be met, including DC biasing and frequency
response. These can be achieved through
various design techniques and circuit topologies. Many homework and test problems are design based.
