Dr. J. E. Rayas Sánchez

Analog Electronic Devices (undergraduate course, 2007)

This course will introduce students to the field of analog electronics analysis and design, by studying the most fundamental semiconductor devices (main types of diodes and transistors) as well as their basic applications. The physical structure and behavior of these devices is studied. Students will be enabled to analyze and design common diode and transistor circuits, with emphasis on fundamental linear amplification stages. The use of simulation software and practical implementations in the laboratory will be emphasized throughout the course.
