EET 215 - Operational Amplifiers and Linear Integrated Circuits

5 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): EET 140

Course Description: Characteristics and applications of operational amplifiers (op-amps). Design and analysis of op-amps, comparators, voltage and current regulators, summers, integrators, and differentiators. Frequency response of op-amp circuits. Applications of the op-amp in power supplies and control systems. A 3-hour per week open-laboratory includes the application of computer tools in circuit design, evaluation, troubleshooting, and analysis. Some labs and projects can be done remotely. Promotes and supports sustainable and green technologies.

Course Level: Career/Tech Preparatory
