Description

This unit of study is a six credit point core requirement for Electrical, Computer,Telecommunications, Bioelectronic, and Power Engineering. It covers thefundamentals of microelectronic circuits and provides a foundation for moreadvanced courses in electronics such as analogue and digital electronic design,instrumentation, electrical machines, power systems, communications, and

signal processing.

Aims

A primary aim of this unit of study is to provide a platform for students to developtheir understanding and analytical skills in the art of microelectronic circuitdesign. This platform consists of developing a physical intuition for the physical

laws of second-order circuits, resonance and damping, semiconductors and thePN junction, MOS transistors, and Bipolar transistors; of developing amathematical intuition for the large-signal and small-signal models of the diode,MOS transistor, and Bipolar transistor; of developing mathematical familiarity withBode Analysis of network functions. It also consists of developing skills to designand analyse microelectronic circuits and their building blocks from a design-oriented analysis paradigm; of developing skills to simplify and approximate; ofdeveloping skills to make and analyse electrical measurements with electroniclab equipment. In summary, this unit of study promotes independent thinking andcreativity along with necessary skills that are fundamental to the art ofmicroelectronic circuit design.

Attributes

This unit of study develops personal attributes in the areas of design andproblem solving skills; discipline specific expertise; fundamentals of science andengineering; information skills; professional communication; professional values,judgement and conduct; team work and project management.

Learning Situations

One two-hour lecture, one two-hour tutorial and one three-hour laboratory aretimetabled for each week of the semester. It may be the case that not all of the

tutorial and laboratory sessions are required.

Students are expected to

attend all lectures,

attend all tutorial classes

attend all laboratory classes

maintain awareness of any information made available on the unit webpages,

complete all assignments

Learner Preparation

It is assumed that students have taken the equivalent of ELEC1103 and thatstudents are familiar with Ohms law and Kirchoffs laws; current and voltagesources, network analysis, superposition, Thevenin and Norton equivalentcircuits, resistors, capacitors, and inductors.

Pass (P)A P grade student is expected to have sufficient understandingof the core material to solve the basic problems arising in tutorial andlaboratory work. The student should demonstrate an ability to analyseand design basic circuits.

Credit (CR)A CR level student is expected to have a goodunderstanding of the core material as evidenced by the ability to solve allrelevant problems. The student should demonstrate an ability to designand differentiate between various basic circuits.

Distinction (D)A D level student is expected to have an excellentunderstanding of the core material plus a good understanding of theadvanced material such as phasors, linear systems, and circuit modelequivalents. The student should demonstrate an ability to apply designprinciples to new problems similar to those presented in class.

High Distinction (HD)A HD level student is expected to have a deep

understanding of material covered in the unit. The student shoulddemonstrate an ability to apply design principles in a creative andcomprehensive fashion to new problems in basic circuit design.

Assessment components

The total mark for the unit will be obtained by adding the following components:

1. Weekly Assignments (20)

2. Laboratory Assignments (20)

3. Mid-Term Exam (10)

4. Final Exam (50 marks). The examination is closed book. Theexamination mark maybe scaled before being incorporated with the othercomponent marks.
