ELE 3101 - Electronics I

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This first course in electronics establishes the fundamental mathematical modeling and applications of solid-state devices and operational amplifiers. The device characteristics of p-n junction diodes, bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), and metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) are considered. Diode circuits, linear power supplies, and transistor switching circuits are analyzed.  Design applications include single-stage MOSFET amplifiers, operational amplifier circuits, active filters, and signal conditioning circuits. Circuit simulation software is utilized as an engineering design tool.
Prereq: ELE 2011  (quarter system prereq: EE 2070 or EE 3002B or EE 2725)
Note: This course is not available to students with credit for BME 3710 .
This course meets the following Raider Core CLO Requirement: None
