ETEC 253 - Advanced Linear Circuits

6.0 Credits
Analyzing and systematic testing of linear circuits designed with operational amplifiers as comparators, buffers, amplifiers, filters, regulators, drivers, integrators and instrumentation amplifiers. D/A, A/D converters, timers and transistor circuits included.
Prerequisite ETEC 162 or instructor permission.
Course-level Learning Objectives (CLOs)
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

Analyze and predict actual circuit operation of different types of linear circuits, using the thinking tools of basic electronics.
Design functional tests for different types of linear circuits.
Using one’s functional tests and hands-on circuit experience, be able to test, interpret tests, choose a circuit stimulus, and make systematic measurements, to isolate a fault.
Document one’s testing and troubleshooting process by recording information on a form and schematic.
