Electronics Systems EngineeringLaajuus (4 ECTS)

Objective

Students understand fundamentals of electronics. Students can design, analyse, and test a simple electronic device.

Content

ntroduction:
• Electronic applications, different levels of the analysis of electronic systems and the design principles
• Signals, signal sources and signal processing
• Circuit and component models and their analysis, amplifiers and amplifier models as an example
• Signal feedback
Components and basic circuits based on them:
• Passive components (resistors, capacitors and coils) and their circuit applications
• Operational amplifiers: the ideal model and basic amplifier configurations
• Basic linear applications of operational amplifiers: the inverting and the non-inverting amplifier sharing a single
operational amplifier, the inverting adder, integration and differentiation, active filters
• System control
• Measuring component and circuit parameters in the lab
Application example:
• To define the parameters of an amplifier-filter block for a given signal processing task when the parameters of the preceding and the succeeding blocks are defined
• To design the block using basic circuit application
Semiconductors:
• Semiconductor diode, photodiode, light emitting diode, Zener-diode, and their applications
Transistors:
• Bipolar transistors (BJT) and field effect transistors (FET): models explaining their operation, the main differences between BJT and FET and their circuit applications (switches and amplifiers)
Operational amplifiers:
• The most important parameters of an opamp and how to take the nonidealities of the opamp in to account in circuit design
• Linear applications of opamps: band pass filter, instrumentation amplifiers, increasing the current drive capability of an opamp with the aid of an external transistor
• Non-linear applications of an opamp-comparators, bistable and astable multivibrators
