EET 216 - Linear Electronic Circuits
Standard Course Outline (Updated Fall 2005)
Catalog Data:
216: Linear Electronic Circuits
(3 credits) Theoretical study of linear electronic devices and circuits,
including field effect transistors, frequency response of amplifiers.
Prerequisites: EET210.
Goals of the
Course:
Linear Electronic Circuits The goal of the course is to teach students
to analyze and design small signal and power amplifiers and power
supplies using electronic devices such as diodes, transistors and
integrated circuits. Students will also learn to analyze MOSFETS,
diacs, thyristors, and triacs.

Calculator Use: Students are expected to own and know how to use a scientific
calculator, such as the TI-85/86 or equivalent.
Computer Use:
Students are expected to use PSPICE for Windows, Electronics
Workbench, or equivalent software, especially for calculating and
presenting the frequency response of amplifiers as well as MOSFETS.
EET 216 students should also be enrolled in the associated lab, EET
221. EET 221 should be taught by the same instructor.
