Practical Electronic Devices Lab Manual: Hands-On, Self-Guided Experiments for Online & Hybrid Electronics Courses. Practical Circuits with Diodes, Transistors, FETs, & Single-Supply Opamps

Gain experience with real-world devices and circuits used in the electronics industry! The skills developed here have real value in today’s electronics industry. By performing the experiments in this Manual, you will develop:• Familiarity with physical components and lab instruments.• The ability to prototype physical circuits.• Skill and experience with troubleshooting down to the component level. No simulations -- Build real circuits with real components.All the electronic components used in these experiments are generic, inexpensive, current, and widely available from a variety of online sources. Single-supply opamps are used here -- not the obsolete dual supply opamps that other lab manuals continue to use.You will get experience with a variety of sensors, including CdS photocells, phototransistors, photointerruptors, microphones, temperature sensors, pushbuttons, potentiometers, and load cells. And a variety of output devices are also used, including 3V DC motors, 5V fans, LEDs, piezo transducers, relays, incandescent lamps, and 8Ω speakers.All that is needed to complete these experiments is an inexpensive digital multimeter and just about any low-cost oscilloscope, making a suitable home electronics lab affordable, and at-home completion of these experiments practical for students in hybrid and online electronics courses.
