ECE-UY-3114, Solid State Electronic Devices and Circuits I Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Tandon School of Engineering, New York University This course is the first part of the undergraduate Solid State Electronics Sequence ECE-UY- 3114-3124. ECE-UY-3114 is a required course for all EE/CompE students, whereas ECE- UY-3124 is an elective. ECE-UY-3114 will be based on basic circuit theory covered in the Circuits ECE-UY-2004 class. It will first introduce analysis and applications of electronic circuits using ideal amplifier blocks called operational amplifier (OP-AMP). The internal circuitry of such microelectronic amplifiers use different kinds of semiconductor components called diodes and transistors. We will discuss basic physical operation of diodes and transistors, followed by the analysis and design of practical electronic circuits employing such semiconductor components. Transistors based on bipolar junctions (BJT) as well as field-effect operations (FET) will be studied. Examples of practical circuits that use diodes and transistors include ac-to-dc converters, amplifiers and digital switching gates. Such electronic circuits are building blocks of all modern communication and computer systems. Text: A. Sedra and K.
