ET 2550 - Electronics

2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course is a survey of semiconductor principles, discrete semiconductor devices, linear and digital integrated circuits, and transducers. These devices are applied to the concepts and properties of electronic circuits such as power supplies, linear amplifiers, active filters, oscillators, nonlinear circuits, and interfacing. The laboratory is used to illustrate electronic devices, applications, and measurement techniques. Note: this course is not intended for the electrical engineering technology major. This course is not intended for the electrical engineering technology major. (prereq: ET 1520  , MA 128  )
