Specific Goals - Student听Learning Objectives听(SLOs)
The students will be able to:
- Apply the large signal method of analysis to electronic circuits that contain nonlinear circuit elements such as pn-junction diodes, FETs and BJTs.听
- Apply SPICE application simulation method of analysis to听听听听听electronic circuits that contain nonlinear circuit elements such as pn-junction diodes, FETs and BJTs.听听
- Design FET and BJT inverter circuits with a required noise margin and fan-out, inverters of minimum size, with equal rise and fall times, and with specified logic threshold voltage value.听听
- Analyze combinational logic circuits to derive the Boolean function implemented by the given logic circuit. 听
- Design combinational static CMOS gates to implement a desired Boolean function, and to also design the transistor aspect ratios of a CMOS logic gate so that the gate has the same rise and fall times as the reference inverter.听听
- Conduct experiments to collect, analyze, and interpret data.听听
- Explain the properties of semiconductor materials and the mechanisms of charge transportation in the semiconductor materials.
