STAFFING:

PRE-REQUISITE(S)

E2002 or 70326

RATIONALE:

This unit together with the previous unit E2002 Electronics A provides
the  student  with an appreciation of most of the analog  and  digital
building   block  circuits  which  are  commonly  used  in  electronic
equipment.

SYNOPSIS:

Completion of this unit will enable an understanding of the  operation
of most of the basic circuits found in electronic equipment of both an
analog and a digital nature.

The  transistor as an amplifier is treated leading to an understanding
of  differential amplifiers and power amplifiers, but  also  extending
briefly  to  high  frequency effects and problems  of  handling  small
voltage   signals.  This  leads  to  a  consideration  of  operational
amplifier  small  scale effects and thus to the  questions  of  analog
measurements and instrumentation amplifiers.

The  effect  of  capacitors on analog circuit performance  is  covered
leading  to active filters and the theory of oscillation in a  context
of feedback theory.

Switched  mode  voltage  regulators are  introduced  as  well  as  the
operation  of  monostable  and astable circuits,  waveform  generating
circuits  and  interfaces  between simple analog  and  digital  signal
areas.

OBJECTIVES:

On successful completion of this unit students will be able
to:

1. Understand the function performed and the performance criteria
   which apply;
   
2. Describe the principles of operation;
   
3. Estimate numerical values appropriate to performance;
   
4. Test its operation, measure its performance and apply it to a
   specific task in a practical manner.
