General description
This course aims to show basic concepts of semi-conductors and basic
electronic components: The diode, the transistors, their applications, types of
amplifiers, the operational amplifier, some digital gates, analog to digital
convertors, and digtal to analog ones. The course enables the students to:
First: knowing the basic laws of electric circuits in general (Ohm’s law,
Kirchoff’s laws, …).
Second: Knowing semi-conductors and how electronic components work:
Diode, Bipolar Junction Transistors BJT, Metal-Oxyde-Semiconductor Field
Effect Transistors MOS FET.
Third: Modeling previous components in Direct Current (DC), and small
signals.
Fourth: Using the previous components to design amplifiers, digital gates,
interfacing circuits between analog signals and the computers (Analog to
Digital convertors ADC, and Digital to Analog Convertors DAC).
