Content

This is a knowledge and skill-based unit focusing on analogue and digital electronics. The first part of the unit covers the theory and applications of combinatorial and sequential logic circuits and systems. These will include standard SSI and MSI devices such as logic gates, flip-flops, counters and adders. The second part of the unit covers the operation and applications of amplifiers and related devices. It will cover small-signal amplifiers based on bipolar-junction transistors and junction field effect transistors, as well as practical op-amps and its applications.
