An introduction to analog and digital electronics with an emphasis on
their use in the laboratory. Topics include linear devices and
basic linear circuit analysis, diodes, transistors, op-amps, the
use of digital components including logic gates, flip-flops,
counters, clocks and microcontrollers, and analog to digital
conversions.
Prerequisite: PH2200 or PH2200H or PH2260
or permission of instructor.
This course is a prerequisite for PH3480 and
PH4380.
Lab Fee: $100
