Overview
The course develops from a discussion of electronic materials and fundamental dc and ac circuits through a study of electronic and optoelectronic devices and electronic systems. Materials topics include basic atomic structure, semiconductor materials and pn junctions. Devices studied include pn junction and Zener diodes, bipolar and field effect transitions, and optoelectronic devices including lasers, light emitting diodes and photodiodes. Fundamental circuit theorems and application of phasors to ac circuits are covered and applied to R-L-C circuits, diode circuits, and transistor switches and amplifiers. Operational amplifiers and feedback concepts are introduced and applied to amplifiers and active filters.
Structure
4 one-hour lectures and 1 one-hour tutorial per week.
Assessment
1 two-hour written examination paper (80%) and in-course assessment (20%).
