ELT 134 - Solid State Devices I

3 Credit Hour(s) • 67.5 Contact Hours (Lecture/Lab Combination)
Prerequisite: ELT 112
Focuses on diode and transistor studies starting with a review of semiconductor materials. Emphasizes rectifier circuits, R-C and LC filters, limiters and peak detectors, zener regulators, Schottky diodes, varactors/veristors, LED’s bipolar transistors, transistor approximation, load-lines, biasing techniques, saturation, operating point, AC models including small-signal operation, hparameters, and data sheet understanding and interpolation.
