Description
This course is an introductory course into electronic components that are used in present day electronic devices. This course will delve into semiconductor theory and the manufacture and design of semiconductor components. It will also cover analog as well as digital components not to be limited to the following semiconductor devices: diodes, silicon controlled rectifiers (SCR’s), bipolar junction transistors, field effect transistors (FET’s), operational amplifiers (OP AMP’s), digital logic gates, microprocessors, random access memory (RAM), and read only memory (ROM). The student will also be introduced to common circuits that employ these devices such as oscillators, amplifiers, flip-flops, multivibrators (timing circuits), shift registers, counters, frequency dividers, and microprocessor circuits.
