Syllabus for EE 321/PHY 321—Electronics I Lecture 3 Credit Hours Fall 2002

I. COURSE DESCRIPTION

An introduction to the basic concepts underlying the analysis and design of circuits using diodes, transistors and Field Effect Transistors. Includes bias stability of amplifiers, design of power amplifiers, power supplies, and frequency response of active circuits. (Crosslisted with PHY 321.) Prerequisite: EGR 210. Corequisite: EE 321 Lab.

II. COURSE GOALS

This course is designed to prepare students to analyze and design basic electronic circuits using diodes and transistors.

III. COURSE OBJECTIVES

As a result of successfully completing this course, the student will be able to do the following:

A. Explain basic operation of diode from the Shockley diode equation and from circuit models.

B. Apply diodes in designing rectifier, power supply, and voltage regulator circuits.

C. Discuss the basic operation of npn and pnp bipolar transistors.

D. Discuss the basic operation of n and p channel junction field-effect transistors.

E. Discuss the basic operation of insulated-gate field effect class of transistors in both depletion and enhancement modes of operation.

F. Analyze transistor operation using dc and ac models.

G. Calculate a stable operating-point design for a given transistor.

H. Design small-signal, low- and high-frequency amplifiers using bipolar and FET transistor.

1 V. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

A. University Policies and Procedures 1. Attendance at each class or laboratory is mandatory at Oral Roberts University. 2. Double cuts will be assessed for absences immediately preceding or following holidays. 3. Excessive absences can reduce a student’s grade or deny credit for the course. 4. Students taking a late exam because of an unauthorized absence will be charged a late exam fee. 5. Students and faculty at Oral Roberts University adhere to all laws addressing the ethical use of others’ materials, whether it is in the form of print, video, multimedia, or computer software. 6. Final exams cannot be given before their scheduled times. Students need to check the final exam schedule before planning return flights or other events at the end of the semester.

B. Course Policies and Procedures 1. Evaluation Procedures a. Homework assignments 25% b. Final exam 25% c. Two exams 50% d Project 25% Total 100% d. If you miss an exam, that grade will be dropped and a makeup exam will not be given. 2. Other Policies and/or Procedures a. Handouts, verbal instructions, homework assignments and laboratory demonstrations cannot be scheduled in advance and will occur when appropriate for the subject being discussed. If you miss a class, the information must be obtained from a student who did attend class. The instructor will neither loan his notes nor give a private repeat of the lecture. b. Homework—The primary way to acquire a working knowledge of the material in this course is to do numerous homework problems. For that reason, several problems will be assigned each week. Solutions will be published, usually on the same day that the assignment is due. In order to encourage you to work problems on a strict schedule, homework will count on the final grade. All assignments are due at the beginning of class. No late assignments will be accepted. Assignments from those who are absent will not be accepted. Given: Show appropriate diagrams and necessary information. Problem: State what is to be determined. Solution: Show how the solution is obtained. Explain your work and all the symbols used. Your work should be neat. On all homework circle each answer. c. Academic Honesty—Working with other students in solving homework problems is not considered dishonest, but students should take care not to become dependent upon someone else. Plan and execute the solution to problems on your own. Copying solutions to homework problems from classmates is not right. Copying from someone else or otherwise violating the conditions of the exam/ assignment is dishonest. Dishonesty in an exam/assignment, if detected, will lead immediately to a failing grade for the course and report to the Dean of Arts & Sciences.
