Subject description

This subject is designed to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of electronic circuit designs, using operational amplifiers as the building blocks, and with an ability to analyse circuits using conventional methods. The analysis also includes both ideal and non-ideal characteristics of the models used. Topics include operational amplifier applications … For more content click the Read More button below.

Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this subject, students will be able to:
1.
Analyse operational amplifier circuits, FET and BJT transistor circuits for low, mid-band and high frequency excitation.
2.
Write technical descriptions of circuit operation.
3.
Design electronic circuits using operational amplifiers and transistors (FETs and BJTs).
4.
Explain how the non-idealities of the operational amplifier change circuit behaviour.
5.
Design and make measurements on electronic circuits using transistors and operational amplifiers.
6.
Analyse circuits under low, mid-band and high frequency input conditions and calculate the characteristic resistances and parameters of such circuits.
7.
Design filter circuits using operational amplifiers given the transfer function of the filter.
8.
Demonstrate appropriate laboratory skills.
