Course Description:
One of the main goals of this course is to explain the basic concepts of semi-conductor diode and its current-voltage
relationship. Various applications of junction diode are also discussed in this course. The course also enables the
students to apply circuit analysis techniques on electronic circuits. Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) and Field-
Effect Transistors (FETs) are evolved as two PN-junction devices. Relations of various currents and voltages in
these transistors are explained in detail. The effect of temperature on these semiconductor devices is highlighted.
Similarly, the working principles of Op-Amps and MOSFETS are also taught. Their critical parameters impacting
design of amplifiers are talked about in detail. A variety of applications of various types of transistors, Op-Amps
and MOSFETS are dealt with. In addition to theoretical concepts, the course equally emphasizes on implementation
of electronic circuits and measurements of their inputs and outputs.

Computer Usage:
PSpice, MultiSIM and other relevant software packages
