Total Credits: 6 , Stage: Third, Module Convenor: Mr. Farhad M. Mahmood
Taught Semesters: First semester: Analog Electronics, Second semester: Digital Electronics
Prerequisites: An understanding of Circuit analysis, and Advanced Calculus
Summary of Content: This module provides an introduction to Electronics covering the following topics:
- An introduction to semiconductor materials and devices.
- An introduction to the semiconductor diodes including LED diode and Zener diode
- Bipolar Junction Transistor small signal models & single stage amplifier configurations
- Introduction to analogue electronics including; small signal transistor equivalent circuits in common emitter/base/collector configurations.
- Introduction to logic including; number systems and Boolean algebra
Method of Assessment: First semester (17 marks) 2 Hour exam, Second semester (17 marks) 2 Hour exam. Six marks will be devoted to the class activities, Solution of problem sheet and course work. the rest of other marks (60 marks) will be dedicated to the final exam.
Learning Outcomes:
- Demonstrate an understanding of the basic working principles of semiconductor devices.
- Analyse and design simple circuits involving diodes.
- Analyse and design simple amplifier circuits including those using operational amplifiers
- Demonstrate an understanding of the theoretical concepts of digital electronics.
Course Material and Lecture notes: students can download the handouts and lecture note through the following links, because no hard copy (paper copy) will be given during the lectures, so it the responsibility of the students to check the availability of the lecture notes online. I will try my best to upload the lectures file at least a day before the lecture date. furthermore, additional resources and reference book will be provided to the students in the same way.
Important Note: some of the lecture notes , problem and solution sheets are confidential ( restricted to the Physics department students due to the privacy and policy of department, so please be aware for accessing some of the file you must have a password in advance, which would be given to the students during the lecture time, if you have any difficulties or concern regarding this, do not hesitate to contact me by email: farhad.mahmood@halabjauni.org
