Requisites
Pre-requisite: ELE1502 or Students must be enrolled in one of the following Programs: MEPR or GDNS or MENS or GCNS or GCEN or GEPR
Overview
This course together with the previous course ELE1502 Electronic Circuits provides the student with an appreciation of most of the analogue and digital building block circuits which are commonly used in electronic equipment. This course continues to focus on developing an understanding of these components, demonstrated through analysis, simulation, construction and testing of circuits. Students will also design and optimise simple circuits.
Familiarity with electronic devices and circuits is fundamental to electrical engineering. The material covered here will further develop both in breadth and depth that which was covered in the preceding courses, with a significant emphasis on developing design skills. Topics to be covered will include: semiconductor devices (discrete and integrated), logic families, multistage amplifiers, operational amplifiers, active filters, negative and positive feedback, oscillators, power supplies and selected circuits used in communication systems.
Course learning outcomes
The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. On completion of this course, students should be able to:
- interpret complex circuit diagrams and standard drawings related to other engineering fields;
- select and justify common electronic components and devices for given applications;
- explain the function performed and the performance criteria for a range of electronic circuits;
- design, analyse and simulate a wide range of electronic circuits;
- design, and then practically develop, build, test and troubleshoot electronic circuit systems, evaluate and optimise their performance;
- communicate technical information in a professional manner.
