Cómo entrenar a tus electrones 2: Diodos y Transistores (Coursera)

La electrónica ha respaldado el desarrollo científico y tecnológico de la humanidad, ostentando un rol clave en los últimos 50 años. Nos admiramos de la capacidad del ser humano de diseñar circuitos integrados que contienen millones de transistores y que nos permiten procesar con gran precisión las señales más débiles provenientes de las antenas de telefonía celular, de las neuronas del cerebro, de una cámara digital, o de la carga depositada por partículas subatómicas que colisionan en el Gran Colisionador de Hadrones en Suiza.

Es difícil entender un circuito electrónico, y aún más difícil diseñarlo. Pero no es imposible. Los electrones pueden ser muy dóciles si sabemos dominarlos. "Cómo entrenar a tus electrones 2: Diodos y Transistores", el segundo de una serie de tres MOOCs, te permitirá dar los primeros pasos para comprender los dispositivos semiconductores más importantes: diodos y transistores de efecto de campo. Las videolecciones acompañadas de pequeños cuestionarios te ayudarán a reforzar tu aprendizaje en cuanto a la comprensión del funcionamiento de los semiconductores, los circuitos principales para rectificar y amplificar voltajes, y las técnicas de análisis más utilizadas.
