LEARNING OBJECTIVES. Given a common type or configuration of diodes, transistors or thyristors, students will be able to explain its operation, characteristics, and application, and analyze and validate its behavior using simulation and instrumentation. Given a specification, students will be able to design an open loop, follower, non-inverting, inverting or instrumentation amplifier to meet the specification, and test its behavior using simulation and instrumentation. Given an analog circuit application such as a power supply, students will be to discuss how common analog components can be applied.

COURSE ALIGNMENT Level University, First or Second Year Topic Analog Electronics Style Laboratory, Project Based Learning Prerequisite Skills. Basic proficiency using Multisim Live. Basic proficiency using ELVIS III Instruments.

Basic knowledge of breadboarding. Basic knowledge of components and their behaviors INCLUDED COURSE LABS.

In this lab students will examine a diode's main characteristics and functions, as well as some of its notable uses in the real world. First, students learn about the fundamental behavior of diodes by simulating a circuit in Multisim Live.

Then they confirm that behavior by building a circuit and measuring the current through a diode. Throughout this process they will also be answering multiple short answer questions to confirm their understanding. Then, students will use and examine the behavior of diodes in application circuits, including a clipper circuit and a half-wave rectifier. In this lab, students will learn about the applications of diodes in rectifiers and examine the components and operations of a full-wave rectifier. First, students will learn theory about a diode's role in a rectifier and complete several short answer questions to confirm their understanding.

Then students will use Multisim Live to simulate a rectifier in a circuit and test their finding by implementing a full-wave rectifier on a breadboard. Finally, students will explore the use of filter circuits in rectifiers using an oscilloscope, all the while documenting their results.

In this lab, students will be looking at some of the important applications of transistors in the real world: why they are important, why we use them, and what they can do. A transistor, similar to a faucet, can control the flow of electrical current. In section 1 of this lab, students will look at the definition and the importance of a transistor and understand its behavior by simulation using Multisim Live.

In Section 2, students will understand how bipolar junction transistors are used as a switch. They will use actual breadboarding a circuit-building to confirm the theory and simulation. In this lab, students will be looking at two devices used as electronic switches: optocouplers and insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). First, students will investigate the theory and behavior of optocouplers. Students will use optocouplers digitally and in a real circuit to control a high power loop from a low power loop. Students will also learn about IGBTs.

First, students will look at detailed theory of optocouplers and IGBTs. They will then explore the importance of both electric devices. Finally, students will examine specific uses of optocouplers and IGBTs in real-world examples and answer short answer questions. In the previous lab, students examined the closed-loop behavior of an op-amp. In this lab, students will be measuring the response of an op-amp commonly used closed-loop configurations. In these configurations, op-amps are used to amplify an input signal.

First, students will look at a detailed definition of op-amp circuits and a web-based circuit simulation. Then, students will explore what op-amp circuits do and their importance through hands-on circuit building. Finally, students will examine how and why we use op-amp circuits.
