Description
Students deepen their understanding of electronic circuits, with a more in-depth consideration of linear circuits examination of non-ideal effects, and consideration of nonlinear circuits. They are introduced to transistor based amplifier circuits. Students are introduced to the origin of the behaviour of solid state electronic devices. Students are introduced to electrostatics and magnetostatics.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module the student should be able to:
Design circuits based on the common emitter bipolar transistor amplifier;
Design circuits based on the differential amplifier;
Calculate the frequency response of an op-amp amplifier in a variety of configurations;
Design and comparator circuit;
Explain the meaning of n and p type semiconductors and how these are related to the properties of a p-n junction;
Describe and explain the current voltage characteristics of a diode;
Describe and explain the three terminal characteristics of bipolar transistors and semiconductor MOSFETs;
Formulate and solve equations relating to the electric field around a charge distribution, the magnetic field around a current density distribution and magnetic induction
