Description

ELT 145 Electronic Devices I
3 Credits (2 lecture 1 Lab 0 Shop)
4 Hrs/Wk (2 Hrs. Lecture 2 Hrs. Lab) *15 wks
This first course in analog electronics is a study of semiconductor theory, PN diodes, and Bipolar transistors. These devices are analyzed by the use of ?r? parameters, Load-Line analysis, and the Ebers-Moll Model. Equivalent circuits are derived using Thevenin?s and Nortons?s theorems. Particular emphasis is placed on I/V characteristics, methods of biasing, and selection of replacement devices. Diode applications include filtered rectifiers, limiters, clampers, and Zener voltage regulation. Bipolar transistor applications include current sources, transistor switch, and the amplifier. Co-requisite: ELT 115.
