Aims

Familiarize students with the electronic devices and their use.

Based on the verification of laboratory work after completing the course the student is able to:

Understand and measure the formation of built-in-voltage in the junction and its influence on PN junction behavior.
Define and measure the barrier and diffusion capacitance of the PN junction.
Explain and measure the operation of PN junction in following circuits: Rectifier, voltage stabilizer, capacitance diode, photo-diode, light emitting diode (LED) and current controlled differential resistance.
Explain the operation of the structure of the bipolar transistor and measure its behavior in typical circuit connections.
Design and measure analyze class-A-amplifier and switch with bipolar transistor.
Explain the operation of unipolar transistors JFET and IGFET and measure its behavior in typical circuit connections.
Design and measure class-A-amplifier and switch with unipolar transistors JFET and IGFET.
Explain the operation of the structure of a thyristor and measure its behavior in typical circuit connections.
Define the principle of phase-angle control of power switching devices and verify it on simple control circuit.
