Troubleshoot (identify a faulty component in) a given malfunctioning passive DC electric circuit or device. Design (specify all components and interconnections of) and construct a passive DC electric circuit to perform a specified function.* Evaluate the feasibility of a proposed design for a DC electronic circuit or system intended to satisfy given standards of performance subject to given constraints.* Select from a range of DC electronic devices or circuits the one most suitable for a specified application, subject to given constraints.* Specify which tests or measurements would be necessary to confirm or disprove a given hypothetical diagnosis of a malfunctioning DC electronic circuit or system, given the symptoms.* Apply standard estimating techniques to quickly determine if a solution to an otherwise time-consuming or intractable engineering problem involving DC electric circuits can be rejected in advance.* Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis course continues the study of solid-state devices and their application circuits begun in ET 105. Students test and measure the characteristics of such devices as field effect transistors (FETs), operational amplifiers (op amps), linear integrated circuits, active filters, analog switches, opto-electronics, and fiber optics. They also analyze, design, and troubleshoot application circuits, including amplifiers, power supplies, voltage regulators, and oscillators.Usually HeldThu 7:00pm–9:50pm, Tue 7:00pm–9:50pm, Tue Thu 7:00pm–9:50pm, Wed Fri 5:30pm–9:50pm
