About This Course
On completion of this module, learners should be able to:
1. Describe the types of material used in semiconductor devices such as diodes and transistors.
2. Explain the temperature effect on these devices.
3. Evaluate the electrical parameters in a diode circuit and practical considerations in choosing a diode.
4. Explain the operations of a zener reference circuit and design a simple voltage regulator using zener diode.
5. Explain and analyze the operations of half-wave and full-wave rectifiers.
6. Describe the structure of a bipolar junction transistor and its basic operating characteristics.
7. Explain the basic operations of a Bipolar Junction Transistor and practical considerations in its applications.
8. Discuss the practical considerations when a transistor is used as an electronic switch.
9. Discuss the practical considerations when a transistor is used as a voltage amplifier.
Learners could apply skills taught in this module in electronic and basic power electronic applications.
