Aims
The module aims to broaden the students' knowledge and understanding of linear
electronic circuit design, and also to provide students with practical skills necessary
to design, analyse and simulate and manufacture electronic circuits.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Discuss analogue circuit operations and design for signal measurement, data acquisition and processing.
2.
Master the working principle and linear application of transistor, FET and Op Amp
3.
Design and use the equivalent circuit analysis method is used to analyse the performance of various amplifying circuits.
4.
Use CAD tools for circuit design and simulation.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:1. Amplifier circuits
• Review of transistors: modelling, biasing and amplifiers.
• Linear integrated circuits: differential amplifiers, current mirrors. Power control:
• regulation, rectification and power amplification.
2. Op-amp applications
• Design of analogue systems using op-amps: active filters, oscillators, A/D converters
• for measurement, instrumentation and data acquisition, understanding relevant
• parameters such as bandwidth, precision, slew rate, feedback, stability.
3. CAD tools
• Use NI Multisim for circuit design and simulation
• Use NI Ultiboard for PCB-level design and simulation
Additional Information:This course will provide undergraduate students in electronic design with intermediate level tools and skills necessary to design, test and implement and manufacture electronic circuits.
