Entry requirements

30 credits in science/engineering including Electric Measuring Techniques. Electromagnetism I should have been attended. Parallel attendance of Transform Methods.

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• analyse circuits with passive components and use Bode diagram,
• design amplifiers using OP amplifiers,
• use diodes and transistors in basic circuits,
• describe pronciples of digital electronic,
• design combinational logic circuits and sequential circuits using flip-flops,
• use simulation software for analysis and design of electronic circuits.

Content

Thévenin's and Norton's theorems. Methods for circuit analysis. Transfer functions, cut-off frequency, Bode diagrams. Operational amplifiers, feedback. Diode, field-effect and bipolar transistors. Transistor amplifiers. Logic gates and flip-flops, Boolean algebra, Karnaugh maps. Analysis and design of combinational and synchronous sequential logic circuits. Simulation of analogue and digital circuits. Sustainability aspects of electronics.

Instruction

Lectures, exercises and laboratory work.

Assessment

Written tests at the end of the course (4 credits) and laboratory work (1 credit).

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.
