Fundamentals of Electronic Circuits I Laboratory

4 Hours

Explore the analysis and design of electronic circuits using semiconductor devices. Examine basic device physics and small-signal modeling for diodes, bipolar junction transistors, and metal-oxide-semiconductor transistors; operation region and biasing; basic switching circuits; single-stage and multi-stage amplifier design and analysis; input and output impedance characteristics of amplifiers; frequency response; AC and DC coupling techniques; and differential amplifiers and output stages. Electrical and Computer Engineering 438 and Electrical Engineering 438 may not both be counted. Three lecture hours and three laboratory hours a week for one semester.
