• ELEC 207: Solid State Circuits

  4.00 Credits

  Northampton County Area Community College

  
  This is the first of a two-course sequence in linear electronics. The course provides background on the basic operating characteristics of key semiconductor devices (diodes, transistors, FETs, opto-isolators, OpAmps, 555 Timers and voltage regulators); however, the emphasis is on the operation, analysis, selection, test and design of modern electronic circuits and systems. Topics to be covered in this course include: Rectifier circuits - Transistor switching circuits - Open and closed-loop amplifier operation and feedback concepts - Inverting, non-inverting, differential, and instrumentation amplifiers - Rectifier and regulator circuits. Lab work will include projects that utilize oscilloscopes and functions generators as well as S/W simulation tools."
