Course Description:
This course covers the elementary concepts required for the analysis and design of electronic circuits.
Construction and device characteristics of semiconductor diodes, BJT, and Op Amp circuits. The
course will also build the concepts of Digital Systems including binary adder, decoder, multiplexer. A
brief introduction of microprocessor and microcontroller architecture will also be taught as a part of this
course.

Course Outcomes/Objectives:

Course Objectives: Provide strong foundation for the upcoming courses related to electrical engineering.
Course outcomes: At the end of this course students will be able to:

 Describe the operation of a diode.

 Construct AND, OR & NOT circuits and truth tables.
 Semiconductor Theory & Electronics Fundamentals
 Diodes and its applications
 Special Purpose Diodes
 Bipolar Junction Transistors,
 Number systems, Boolean algebra, gates.
 Combinational logic (adders, comparators, decoders, multiplexers, etc.)
 Sequential logic (flip-flops, registers, counters, ROM, PROM, EPROM).
 Microprocessors (registers; ALU; CU; memory, address, data and control buses).
 ADC and DAC. Micro-controllers.
