ELT 2030 - Analog Electronics II


Clock Hours: 120

Delivery Mode

Course Description:
In this course, the student will be focusing on three basic types of transistor configuration as well as FETS and Operational amplifiers. The transistor is an electronics device used in amplifier circuits, switching circuits or oscillating circuits. The transistor is used in many circuits as an individual component or in groups of as many as 100 components to perform a specific task.
