Introduces solid state devices. Emphasis on device terminal characteristics and models. The course includes the PN junction transistor characteristics, BJT biasing techniques, BJT models, BJT small signal amplifiers, junction field effect (JFET) and metaloxide silicon-field effect (MOSFET) transistor characteristics. Experiments cover semiconductor diode circuits, half-wave rectifier, full-wave characteristics, common emitter transistor characteristics and the parameters and components of a transistor amplifier circuit.
