Students construct, analyze and troubleshoot complex series-parallel circuits, both on and off resonance, with filter applications. ELT 103 Applies advanced analysis to AC and DC circuits with Thevenin's, Norton's, Superposition and Maximum Power Transfer theorems. Students also construct and analyze vacuum tube amplifiers, using DC load lines and curve families. ELT 104 Introduces the fundamentals of solid-state devices, both diodes and transistors. Students construct and analyze diode circuits, including rectifiers, clippers and clampers, and examine characteristics of zener and transistor-related power supplies.
Students construct class A and B power amps, phase splitters and phase inverters.
Students construct and analyze FET amplifiers and oscillator circuits, including multivibrators, phase-shift, and Hartley Culpitts and Schmitt trigger. ELT 113 Examines the OP amp by analyzing and demonstrating a wide range of applications. Students construct differential and IC operational amplifier circuits, including summers, integrators, differentiators, active filters and 555 timers. ELT 114 Introduces digital electronics. Students demonstrate the principles of digital integrated circuits, using binary, octal, hexadecimal and other codes, logic gates, truth tables, Boolean algebra and combinational logic.
