Electronics (5 cr)

Evaluation scale

H-5

Content scheduling

The course covers basics of electronics plus some of the typical circuits and components required in embedded systems, when interfacing microcontrollers to the external world.

Objective

After completing the course the student:
- should be familiar with fundamental electronic circuits.
- is able to design simple analog signal processing functions using operational amplifiers.
- is able to design small signal amplifiers using transistors.

Content

- diodes
- operational amplifiers
- bipolar transistors andMOSFETs

Pedagogic approaches and sustainable development

The lectures will introduce the theory required for the lab exercise. Simulations are used to verify the designed circuitry. Implementing and measuring the actual circuits gives deeper understanding and brings hands-on experience on real-world working methods.

Completion alternatives

No alternative methods.

Student workload

Lectures 10*1h (10h)
Lab exercises 10 * 3h (30h)
A short exam (1h)

Independent work incl. simulations (94h)

Total: 135h

Evaluation methods and criteria

Based on:

- Number of completed (and demonstrated) lab exercises
- A short exam

Failed (0)

Less than 50% lab exercises completed
OR
less than 50% of max points on exam.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

Grade 1: 50% of lab exercises completed AND 50% points from the exam
Grades 2-5 are calculated linearly, assuming that the course pass conditions are met

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

Grade 1: 50% of lab exercises completed AND 50% points from the exam
Grades 2-5 are calculated linearly, assuming that the course pass conditions are met

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Grade 1: 50% of lab exercises completed AND 50% points from the exam
Grades 2-5 are calculated linearly, assuming that the course pass conditions are met
