PHY 440 - Electronics

A survey of D.C. and A.C. circuits, semiconductor devices and electronic test equipment. Prerequisite: PHY 202. Not open to students with credit for PHY 540. Lecture/Lab Hours: Two lectures, one three-hour laboratory. Fulfills: LASR. (3 cr. hr.)
Frequency code S = offered in spring; C = offered at least once every two years

Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Reliably measure currents and voltages in AC and DC circuits.
  2. Use the concept of a voltage divider to calculate the output of a circuit.
  3. Analyze circuits containing passive circuit elements (resistors, capacitors, inductors).
  4. Analyze circuits containing diodes, transistors (as switches), and op-amps.
  5. Construct truth tables and timing diagrams for digital circuits.
  6. Program a microcontroller.
