10605113Analog Circuit Techniques
Course Information
Description
This introductory electronics course covers devices, circuits and applications. This course uses analog electronics devices — diodes, field effect and bipolar transistors and operational amplifiers to learn basic theory and use of test equipment in testing and troubleshooting. Lab procedures emphasize the use of documentation (schematics, layout diagrams, parts lists, data sheets) and troubleshooting procedures.
