This course introduces electronic theory and applications as used in medium and heavy duty vehicles.
Emphasis is placed on the basic function and operation of semiconductor and integrated circuits.
Upon completion, students should be able to identify electronic components, explain their use and function, and use meters and flow charts to diagnose and repair systems. None This course includes semiconductor-based devices such as diodes, bipolar transistors, FETs, thermistors, and related components . Emphasis is placed on analysis, selection, biasing, and applications in power supplies, small signal amplifiers, and switching and control circuits. Upon completion, students should be able to construct, analyze, verify, and troubleshoot discrete component circuits using appropriate techniques and test equipment. This course introduces the characteristics and applications of linear integrated circuits.
