ES2C0-15 Analogue Electronic Design
Introductory description
Analogue electronics
Module aims
Analogue electronics is one of the core requirements for any electronics and electrical engineer. The module is designed to provide learning on the practical applications of different analogue electronic circuits and devices that are commonly used in modern electronics.
There four fundamental categories of components that are critical for any electronics or electrical engineer to understand. These are:
- Linear devices;
- Active/passive filters;
- Voltage Regulation/reference;
- Signal conversion.
This module will present tools and techniques of used combinations of these components to create a useful analogue electronic system.
Professional Engineers must appreciate the concept of electronic analogue systems and how they interact with digital systems.
Outline syllabus
This is an indicative module outline only to give an indication of the sort of topics that may be covered. Actual sessions held may differ.
Lecture Topics include:
- Diodes, BJTs and FETs transistors as individual devices and in use as simple linear amplifiers.
- Analogue Circuit Modelling and Simulation: Schematic capture and simulation of analogue electronic components and circuits
- Voltage regulators, voltage references and current sources., construction and deployment.
- Operational Amplifiers (including internal topology), circuit configurations, e.g. use in active filters
- Sources of electrical noise , Johnson noise, 1/f noise, voltage and current noise spectral densities,op-amp noise calculations
- Analogue sinusoidal oscillators and non-sinusoidal waveform generation
Learning outcomes
By the end of the module, students should be able to:
- Appreciate a range of different analogue electronic devices and circuits
