Semiconductor Devices: Laboratory Manual

With 28 laboratory experiments, this manual offers thorough coverage of modern semiconductor devices. Topics begin at basic semiconductor devices such as signal diodes, LEDs and Zeners; and proceeds through NPN and PNP bipolar transistors and field effect devices. Applications include rectifiers, clippers, clampers, AC to DC power supplies, transistor biasing, small and large signal class A amplifiers, followers, class B amplifiers, ohmic region FET applications and more. An extensive DC power supply project is included as well. Appendices include a symbol glossary, an overview of using a spreadsheet to view data graphically, and links to manufacturer's data sheets. Each experiment includes a parts list and test equipment inventory. Most exercises may be completed just using a digital multimeter, dual DC power supply, a function generator and oscilloscope.
