ETC225 — Analog Circuits
This lecture/laboratory course is a continuation of Semiconductor Devices. This course is designed to focus on analog circuits configured as linear amplifiers and associated high frequency applications. Topics include: BJT and FET amplifier configurations, linear amplifier gain, multistage amplifiers, power amplifiers, amplifier frequency response, amplifier bandwidth, operational amplifiers, active filters, oscillators, and tuned amplifier circuits. The laboratory component of the course is designed to reinforce theory through a series of related hands-on lab projects designed specifically for this course. Students will calculate, build, test, and measure, a series of complex analog amplifier circuit configurationss. Electronic test and measurement equipment such as the digital storage oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer , function generator , digital multi-meter (DMM), and variable DC power supply wil lbe used extensively throughout the course. This course prepares students for the following nationally recognized professional certification: (1) ETA The Associate Certified Electronics Technician (CETa). Taking the ETA CETa certification exam is a required comonent of this course.
