Rationale

Electronics  is  foundational  material  for  computer  engineering.  The  computer  is an electronic   device   whose   development   is  highly  dependent   on  advances   in  the electronics  industry.  For  this  reason,  it  is  mandatory  for  a  student  to  have  basic knowledge of the design of the electronic circuits used to implement computer

Objectives

The course aims to provide the student with:

  • An understanding  of how complex devices  such as semiconductor  diodes are modelled  and  how  the  models  are  used  in the  design  and  analysis  of useful circuits.
  • The  capability  to  design  and  construct  circuits,  take measurements  of circuit behavior and performance, compare with predicted circuit models and explain discrepancies.
