Semiconductor Analysis

This is lab 1 of 4 in the course

by Quanser Inc., and Texas Instruments

Students are introduced to the three building blocks of microelectronics: diodes, BJTs, and MOSFETs. Students will explore how these components interact with voltage and current and how these properties can be used and combined in different ways for different applications.
