Course Description:
One of the main goals of this course is to explain the basic concepts of semi-conductor diode and its current-voltage
relationship. Various applications of junction diode are also discussed in this course. The course also enables the
students to apply circuit analysis techniques on electronic circuits. Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) and Field-
Effect Transistors (FETs) are evolved as two PN-junction devices. Relations of various currents and voltages in these
transistors are explained in detail. The effect of temperature on these semiconductor devices is highlighted. Similarly,
the working principles of Op-Amps and MOSFETS are also taught. Their critical parameters impacting design of
amplifiers are talked about in detail. A variety of applications of various types of transistors, Op-Amps and MOSFETS
