Unit Outcomes: | On successful completion of this unit students will understand the models for common electrical elements including transformers and op-amps. Construct an equivalent circuit for any prototype electrical and electronic circuits. Analyse rigorously a given circuit to gain insight into its behaviours. Understand the transient behaviour of a given circuit when certain parts are switched. Understand the meaning of frequency response and its use in filtering circuits. Design simple circuits for a given specification and or application. |
