EE 300 - Electronics I

Introduction to semiconductors and solid-state devices. Circuit models for the PN-junction semiconductor diode. V-I characteristics and piecewise linear models of ideal and non-ideal diode. Zener diode and regulators. Fundamentals of bipolar junction transistors (BJT) including active, saturation, cut-off, edge of saturation, and edge of cut-off regions. Introduction to amplification and amplifiers. The laboratory focuses on practical and computer-aided design and simulation of various electronic devices using diodes, transistors, sensors, and amplifiers.
