Learning outcomes
Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
- Apply physics and electric circuit laws to the analysis of transistor and operational amplifier circuits (K1, K2, K3, S1, S2, S3)
- Appreciate the differences in analogue circuits implemented in discrete and in integrated forms (K3, S1, S2, S3)
- Analyse and design analogue building blocks such as oscillators, filters and instrumentation amplifiers using operational amplifiers (K1, K3, S1, S2, S3)
- Appreciate various types of amplifier classes, SCR-based circuits, and operation of heat sinks (K3, S1, S2, S3)
- Design, simulation and implementation of analogue building blocks of different applications (K2, K3, S1, S2, S3)

Hurdle
As the minimum requirements of assessment to pass a unit and meet all ULOs to a minimum standard, an undergraduate student must have achieved:
(i) an aggregate mark of 50% or more, and(ii) at least 40% in the final exam.Students who do not successfully achieve hurdle requirement (ii) will receive a maximum of 45% as the total mark for the unit.
