Fall 2025 Laboratory Lecture Credit By ExaminationLower Division
Capacitors, inductors, oscillators, rectifiers, bipolar and MOSFET power switches, switching power supplies, half-and full-H bridges, switching audio power amplifiers, and linear regulators are studied. Computer-aided analysis of circuits is utilized.
Learning Outcomes1Explain the characteristics of capacitors, inductors, rectifier diodes, Zener diodes, IC regulators, bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), field effect transistors (MOSFETS), and general purpose operational amplifiers.
2Apply the principles of circuit analysis to the following: switching and linear power supplies, op-amp based amplifiers, BJT and MOSFET switches, Class D amplifier, wave shape generators, RC and RL circuits.
3Simulate circuits and compare actual data to simulated data.
4Construct electronic circuit according to a given schematic.
5Measure electrical parameters, using digital multimeters, signal generators, and oscilloscopes.
6Interpret laboratory experiment data.
