Class Electronics I

Provide the student with the knowledge necessary to understand the fundamental elements of semiconductor electronics. Study of the basic circuits of electronics: circuits with diodes (rectifiers, limiters, peak detector, fasteners, voltage multipliers, voltage regulators, etc.); circuits with the bipolar junction transistor (amplifiers, switching circuits, current sources, etc.); circuits with operational amplifiers (inverter and / or non-inverter amplifier, summing amplifier, difference amplifier, integrating amplifier and differentiating amplifier).
