180 hours Lecture/lab

Students will be introduced to basic semiconductor theory and active solid state devices. You will learn about PN junctions and diode theory, bipolar junction transistors, JFET's and MOSFET transistor operation and circuit configurations. DC bias methods, along with small signal AC operation for each device, are thoroughly investigated, leading to power amplifiers and multi-stage amplifiers. Students will use the electronics lab facilities to investigate device characteristics, reinforce theoretical instruction, demonstrate applications, and gain 'hands-on' experience working with linear solid state devices.
