Description

Analogue electronics is necessary for signal sensing, amplification and filtering before digital techniques can be applied. Power electronics is necessary where efficient manipulation of electrical energy is required, for power supply, motion control and other applications. This course covers the basic principles of both analogue and digital electronic circuits, and the constraints that real components and devices place on these circuits. Emphasis is placed on circuit analysis and design skills.

In general semiconductor devices can be used in two ways - either in their linear operating regions, or as on/off switches.  Instrumentation, signal generation, amplification and filtering applications tend to use devices in their linear regions.  In applications where high power or efficiency is necessary, they are used in their saturation regions as switches.

This course aims to equip students with in depth knowledge and fundamental anaylsis skills relating to:
• Power or switching circuit and component design, including dc to dc, dc to ac, and ac to dc conversion circuits.
• Linear electronic circuit design, including noise, instrumentation, amplification and filtering.
