Models, Half-Wave Rectifiers, Full-Wave Rectifiers, Power Supply Filters and Regulators.

The Zener Diode,Zener Diode Applications, Types of Diodes. Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) Structure,
Basic BJT Operation,BJT Characteristics and Parameters, The BJT as an Amplifier, The BJT as a Switch,
The Phototransistor.

Chapter7: The DC Operating Point and Voltage-Divider Bias. The JFET, JFET Characteristics and
Parameters, JFET Biasing, The Ohmic Region, The MOSFET, MOSFET Characteristics and Parameters,
MOSFET Biasing. Both ideal and non-ideal properties of Operational Amplifier (OpAmp) will be introduced
together with the analysis techniques. Then the practical typical operational amp circuits applications and its
design will be given. Besides, experiments of above devices are provided to support the students to have a
thorough comprehension of the discussed topics.

Academic Integrity

Students are expected to be honest and to submit their own work on labs, exams
and assignments. Cheating during an exam results dismissal from the exam room;
as well as a strong penalty from the academic committee.
