Exam 1
First Exam for the Quarter scheduled next Wednesday (7/22). Use the Study Guide given last week to prepare.
Reading Assignment 5 (Complete reading by 7/29)
 | Starting on page 149 (Read Coupling and Bypass Capacitors) thru 174 |
| Chapter 4 (Field Effect Transistors [FETs]) pages 202-220 |
Homework Assignment 6 (Due 7/22)
System Application/Troubleshooter's Bench Project
As discussed in last weeks class (7/15), this System Application Assignment will cover the Lab Final Exam Grade (15%) for the course. Read this section carefully as additional information will be provided to assist in completing this assignment. To illustrate how a BJT can be used to control an electromechanical load, a Hands-On Project will be added to this assignment, whereby a transistor relay driver circuit used to control a 7 Segment LED display and a small dc motor must be built and demonstrated on Final Exam day. Details on this project will be provided prior to the project date as well.
