Contents

Semiconductors and semiconductor theory. Diodes, LEDs, transistors, MOS-FET and J-FET. Rectification. Simple transistor circuits. Operational amplifiers and comparators. Scheduling and simulation of electronic circuits.

Teaching and learning methods

Lectures, theory exercises, laboratory exercises and project work. The laboratory exercises and project include the use of both digital tools and laboratory instruments and take place in the electronics laboratory under the guidance of a teacher, laboratory staff and / or student assistants. The class is divided into groups of appropriate size so that all students have access to the necessary equipment and the help they need to solve the tasks. Laboratory exercises and project work take place in small groups. Students use computer tools for designing electronic circuits. Approval of assignments takes place through demonstration and oral explanation in the laboratory. A report must be written for the project work in addition to a demonstration in the laboratory.

Expected workload for the average student: 135 hours.

Examination requirements

The compulsory theory and laboratory assignments must be approved in order to take the examination. Information about the compulsory assignments is given in Canvas in the beginning of the semester.

Examinations

4 hours individual written examination. Graded assessment.

Student evaluation

The person responsible for the course decides, in cooperation with student representative, the form of student evaluation and whether the course is to have a midway or end of course evaluation in accordance with the quality system for education, chapter 4.1.

Offered as a free-standing course
