Course overview

The course aims to provide students with an in-depth understanding of semiconductor materials and properties, electronic components and their applications. Students learn to analyse, design, and troubleshoot circuits using devices like diodes, Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs), Field-Effect Transistors (FETs), and operational amplifiers through theoretical study and practical exercises. Students will also gain knowledge and skills on common stages of amplifiers. The emphasis is on real-world applications, preparing students for further studies or careers in electronics and related fields.

Course learning outcomes

  • Articulate the fundamental principles of electronic devices such as diodes, transistors, and operational amplifiers, including their characteristics, behaviour, and applications
  • Describe the mechanism of rectification, filtering, and breakdown in p-n junction devices, and construct and analyse diode circuits to design regulated DC power supplies
  • Describe the terminal properties, predict and measure the output response of bipolar junction transistors (BJT), and use appropriate circuit models to describe the AC and DC performance of bipolar devices
  • Describe the physical and terminal properties and predict the output response of field effect transistors (FET). Use appropriate circuit models to analyse FET amplifier operations and design amplifiers based on given requirements and application
  • Describe the characteristics of an operation amplifier and analyse op-amp based circuits for practical applications
  • Identify and analyse output stages of amplifiers, differentiate between small signal and power amplifiers, leading to the ability to select appropriate amplifier for different applications
