ILT 162: Solid State Fundamentals

This course provides instruction in basic solid-state theory, starting with atomic structure and covering devices such as diodes, bipolar transistors, field-effect transistors, amplifiers, thyristors, operational amplifiers, oscillators, and power supply circuits. It emphasizes the practical application of solid-state devices, proper biasing, amplifier circuit analysis, and using test equipment to diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair typical solid-state device circuits. Additionally, students will have opportunities to apply the solid-state principles and theories learned in class within a laboratory setting. The focus remains on the practical use of solid-state devices, proper biasing, amplifier circuit analysis, and utilizing test equipment to diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair common solid-state device circuits.
