ECE 351A introduces the fundamental concepts of semiconductor devices and circuits. It also provides the foundation for the Integrated Circuits (IC) and Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) design courses that follow in the sequence. In this course, you will learn the basic theory behind non-linear circuit elements, such as diodes, bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and field effect transistors (FETs). The class will cover how the devices operate, how they are built, and how they are modeled. Ultimately, these concepts will then be used to design basic analog and digital circuits from diode rectifier, regulators and amplifiers to digital logic gates. Intuitive understanding and practical applications will be emphasized throughout the course.
