This course serves as an introduction to Electronic Circuits and Devices. It starts with the basic concepts of current, voltage, and dc circuit’s analysis using Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s laws, Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems; and ends with the development of devices like diodes, transistors, and operational amplifiers. Then the course moves on to the high level applications of these devices. This includes rectifiers, transistor amplifiers, operational amplifiers, timers, power supplies, and logic gates. In addition to the analysis of electronic circuits, the course also stresses design, solving open-ended problems and the use of computer tools in the design process. Many of the basic concepts in electronics are further explored in laboratory sessions. (Pre-requisite/Co-requisite: PC 226A)
