This class is an introduction to the field of Electronics. It is designed to familiarize the student with the fundamental equations, calculations, and numeric representations used by Engineers and Technicians. Topics covered will include understanding the range of magnitude of numbers (data) and their SI representation in Scientific and Engineering notation. Base conversion of numbers (hex to decimal). Analog to digital (A/D) and digital to Analog (D/A) conversion. Charting and Graphing of data and how to interpret data on different graphs (semi-log, log-log). Graded or Pass/No Pass option.

This class is a continuation of the digital logic portion of ELEC C101 and ELEC C102 (binary numbers, Logic gates AND / OR). It starts with an introduction to one-bit memory cells (Flip-Flops), comparators, ADDITION and 2's complement using discrete logic gates (XOR), decision-making circuitry, sequential circuits, program counter, instruction sequencing. This class gives the student a "behind the scene look" at what makes every digital computer work. Graded or Pass/No Pass option.

The student will learn the characteristics of semiconductor devices including diodes, BJTs, and FETs. Biasing and DC and AC load-lines are presented in each of the three configurations -- CB/CG, CE/CS, and CC/CD, followed by analysis and design of amplifier circuits at mid-band with emphasis on input/output impedance and gain. Students learn to design and analyze diode and transistor circuits and to simulate test results with a circuit simulation package. Graded or Pass/No Pass option.

Student will learn to write transfer functions of low, high, and band pass RC filters; phase lead and lag RC networks; and use complex conjugates to separate functions into gain-magnitude and phase components and sketch bode plots on semi-log axes. Write transfer functions of series and parallel RLC resonant circuits and plot their response. Determine h-parameters from device curves and convert them into small signal models to compute input/output impedance and gain. Work with four idealized forms of amplifiers -- VV, VI, IV, and II. Students learn to analyze passive RC, RC, and RLC circuits, simulate test results with EWB or PSpice, set-up test apparatus, gather data, and prepare technical reports to professional standards. Graded or Pass/No Pass option.

The student will use discrete integrated circuits, glue logic, TTL or CMOS to simulate then prototype or breadboard functional components from the ELEC C104 class such as Multiplexers, Adders, Shift registers, stacks. These components will be ported to Alerta PLDs and their operation verified. For the final project the student will construct a project from discrete components and PLDs then compare the operation / cost / complexity tradeoff in a final paper. Typical final projects in the past included Tic-Tac-Toe, a traffic signal, Pong, read/write a sequence of 1s and 0s to RAM. These projects will be converted again in ELEC C240 to run on a M68HC11 controller. Graded or Pass/No Pass option.

The student will learn to design, write, and debug programs in assembly and a subset of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) "C." The student will learn to download programs to the microcomputer after they have been converted on a host computer with an assembler or C compiler. The first few programs will duplicate some of the hardwired processes developed in the Advanced Digital Logic class then progress to more complex time-dependent processes such as temperature measurement, motor speed control, metering the flow of liquids. This class is the logical continuation of ELEC C104 and will rely on information learned in other electronics classes such as ELEC C204 and C210 Graded or Pass/No Pass option.
