Course Aims

The aim of this course is to develop student's ability to design analogue and mixed-mode electronic systems.

Intended Learning Outcomes of Course

By the end of this course students will be able to:

■ define the common error sources in analogue systems;

■ construct equivalent models of circuits to enable parametric comparison of designs;

■ identify the dominant error sources in specific circuits and quantify their magnitude;

■ optimise the design of a circuit susceptible to a number of error sources;

■ use a rational framework for specification led design;

■ evaluate competing designs against multiple design criteria.

Minimum Requirement for Award of Credits

Students must attend the degree examination and submit at least 75% by weight of the other components of the course's summative assessment.

 

Students must attend the timetabled laboratory classes.
