Abstract

In this paper, consideration is given to the use of the Digilent Analog Discovery in the teaching and learning of semiconductor devices and circuits. Specifically, an introduction to the characteristics and uses of diodes and transistors will be considered, along with the types of analogue and digital circuits that can be created using diodes and transistors. The features of the Analog Discovery will be considered and its use in the development of PC based experiments that can be performed away from a traditional laboratory by the student will be discussed. A case study circuit based on diode-transistor logic will be presented.
