ELE 110 - Solid State Circuits (3)

Prerequisite: ELE 104 and ELE 121 or concurrent enrollment in ELE 104 and ELE 121
fall

Lecture: Two hours of lecture/discussion per week. Lab: Two hours of lab per week.

In the Solid State Circuits course the student will learn how diodes and rectifiers circuits operate and their use in power supply systems. Additionally, students will study transistor use in high and low voltage switching applications. The students will learn thyristors (SRC’s, DIACS) and their applications in AC circuits. Finally, the students will study various sensor technologies, including proximity sensors, Light Emitting Diodes, solid state relays, the 555-timer circuits and other solid state technology. In conclusion of the class, students will learn to solder using ROHS compliance and build a working power supply.

Note: This course is not offered this catalog year.
