EET 150 - Semiconductors and Linear Circuits

Four credit hours - Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly; one term.
Build upon AC/DC circuit theory content introduced in EET 130. Explore the characteristics and operation of semiconductor diodes, transistors, and RLC filters. Learn about linear integrated circuits including operational amplifiers, comparators and power supply regulators. Apply concepts and through hands-on laboratory work. Lab fee $25.

Prerequisite(s): EET 130 or permission of academic chair.

Note: Typically offered MC; spring and summer terms.

Course Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Explain the function of diodes and their applications.
Identify various types of transistors as they relate to amplifier circuits.
Build and analyze operational amplifier circuits.
Build and analyze RLC and operational amplifier filters.
Demonstrate the correct use of state-of-the-art electronic test equipment in performing diagnostics and measurements of circuit parameters to validate proper operational conditions, while following proper safety procedures.
