Electronic Circuits II

Electronic Circuits II is a continuation of Electronic Circuits I. Class A, B, AB, and C power amplifiers are investigated to reveal their power efficiencies. The Field Effect Transistor (FET) and the MOSFET's (Metal Oxide Field Effect Transistor) will be introduced; new parameters will be determined and different FET and MOSFET biasing circuits such as self-bias, gate bias and voltage divider bias will be studied. Hence, different amplifier configurations of common source, common drain, and common gate, will be presented. Opto-electronic devices including photo cell, photo resistor, photo diode, photo transistor and opto-couplers will be studied. The OP-AMP (Operational Amplifier) will be introduced. Thyristors (switching devices) such as SCR, SUS, DIAC, TRIAC, and UJT will be covered. Theoretical knowledge is integrated with lab exercises. Circuits are assembled and tested to observe whether they comply with theoretical expectations. This course is configured as 3 hours of lecture and a 2-hour lab per week. Electronic Circuit II uses the circuit simulation software Proteus, the graphical programming development application LabVIEW and the Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards for some lab applications.
