Upon succesful completion of the course, students will be able to: lay out and fabricate binary decoder PC board; convert between base 10 and binary number systems; describe the function and behavior of diode and Zener diode; describe how the power transistor can be used as a switch; explain how an SCR is used as a control element; and program an EPHROM. Shop exercises support instruction.
Instruction:
Major topics include: binary decoder PC board; base 10 and binary number systems; diode and Zener diode; power transistor; SCR; EPHROM; etching safety; soldering and desoldering.
