Entry requirements

30 credits in science/engineering including Electrical Engineering II: Electric Circuit Theory as well as Calculus for Engineers/Single Variable Calculus.

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course the student shall be able to:

• calculate the gain for a resistive OP circuit with negative feedback,
• analyse and synthesize a first order filter (capacitive) with Bode charts; both passive and voltage-switched OP,
• analyse and synthesize the resting point (GE, GC and GB for bit and GS, GD and GG for MOS) for transistors (DC and signal parameters),
• drawing and applying signal circuitry for transistor circuits as above to determine input and output resistance, bandwidth and gain,
• analyse and synthesize the Wien and phase shift oscillators,
• calculate maximum loss and output power for Class A, Class B and Class AB steps for a sinusoidal signal,
• analyse output voltage and output power of a linear voltage generator built with an OP and a zener diode
• using simulation software for analysis and design of electronic circuits.

Content

Operational amplifiers, diodes, bipolar and field-effect transistor (FET) transistors, transistor amplifiers, analog oscillators, fins, frequency characteristics of basic electronic components and circuits, fabrication of printed circuit boards, soldering circuit boards, regulatory requirements for CE marking. Thermal resistance and cooling. Principles for printed circuit boards (PCB) design.

Instruction

Lectures, laboratory exercises, supervision, group work and seminars.

Assessment

Written examination (5 credits). Written assignments (5 credits).

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.

Other directives

The course may not be included in a degree together with 1TE646 Electronics.
