For the student who has mastered direct current principles. Students will gain proficiency using industry standard test equipment including oscilloscopes, function generators, digital multimeters and power supplies. Students gain experience with systems troubleshooting to the component level using state of the art test equipment. Topics covered include diodes, transistors, operational amplifier circuits, oscillators, small and large signal amplifiers, active filters, voltage regulators and optoelectronic circuits. Mathematical analysis of the circuits will be followed by emphasis on troubleshooting.
Emphasis is on machine and assembly language programming.
The latest developments in microprocessors are discussed. Keyboarding skills and some knowledge of DOS will be very helpful. Credit or concurrent enrollment in EET 120. A continuation of EET 140. Provides the student with essential knowledge of how the microprocessor works with the other support circuitry essential for a microprocessor-based system.
