Prerequisites:

EET1111 – Circuits I

 

 

Course Description:

Introduces solid-state electronic devices and their application.  Studies diodes, transistors, and operational amplifier ICs.  Transistor biasing, temperature stabilization and gain calculations of single and multistage amplifiers.  Studies power amplifiers, frequency response, heat sinking, and power supply design.

 

The laboratory course accompanies or is preceded by EET2221.  Exercises include operational amplifiers, frequency response of amplifiers, diodes and their application, power supplies, transistors and their use in amplifying circuits.

 

 

Course Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

·         Discuss the basic atomic structure of semi-conductors.

·         Describe the construction and characteristics of diodes, bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), field-effect transistors (FETs), and operational amplifiers.

·         Explain the operation of basic biasing circuits.

·         Analyze, design, and describe the operating characteristics of basic single and multistage amplifier configurations.

·         Explain how diodes and BJTs can be used in switching circuits.

·         Describe the ideal and non-ideal characteristics of operational amplifiers.

·         Explain the operation of inverting and non-inverting amplifiers.

·         Describe the circuit operation of different types of voltage regulation circuits, including series, shunt, and switching regulators.

 

 

Class Sessions:

Theory class time will be devoted to presenting new topics and working through example problems.  Time in lab will be used to reinforce the concepts discussed in theory and to develop the student’s abilities with troubleshooting and use of test equipment.

Assignments:

Homework and laboratory assignments must be completed as indicated in the weekly lesson plan or as modified by the instructor.  All work must be completed neatly; assignments that are difficult to read or follow will not be graded.  Assignments must be stapled.  Spiral notebook paper will not be accepted.

 

 

Unit Tests:

One-hour examinations will be given on completion of each unit of study and will be announced at least one week in advance.  If you must miss a scheduled exam date, you must make arrangements with the instructor before the exam.  If no arrangements are made and your absence is unexcused, your grade will be a zero.

 

 

Cheating or Plagiarism:

Proper professional and ethical behavior is expected of all students in this class.  If cheating is suspected, the Dean of Students will be notified and standard MTU policies will be followed.

 

 

Student Expectations:

Students must remain current with class work and homework problems.  Prompt attendance at every class session is expected.  Everyone in the classroom will be treated with respect.  The student is to contact the instructor prior to being absent and to seek help from the instructor if needed.
