Labs include circuit construction, computer simulation and testing. Labs emphasize circuit construction and include simulation of amplifier circuits. Includes basic operation of logic gates, Boolean algebra, and MSI logic devices. Labs emphasize prototyping and testing of combinational logic circuits. Includes the operation of latches and flip-flops, ripple and synchronous counters, shift registers, memories, and a simple microprocessor system.
Labs emphasize prototyping and testing of sequential logic circuits.
The first course in a two-course capstone sequence in semiconductor processing. Includes vacuum principles, vacuum pumps, gauges and components, and leak detection. Conversion of signals between analog and digital will be discussed. The second course in a two-course capstone sequence in semiconductor processing. Discusses chemical and particulate contamination issues.
