Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
Learning and simulated work activities to demonstrate an understanding of the following:
Classroom learning activities involve the understanding of following topics:
• Differential amplifier, characteristics of differential amplifier such as differential gain, CMRR
• Operational amplifier applications such as integrator (ideal & practical circuits), A/D, D/A Converters
• Operation of single-supply inverting and non-inverting amplifiers employing DC offset bias at the input and blocking capacitors
• Comparator circuits (open loop, limited swing and hysteresis) using operational amplifiers
• Precision half-wave and full wave rectifiers encompassing diodes, Function generators
• Analog Filters- Low pass, High pass, Band pass , Band reject and their frequency responses
• Power Amplifiers- Class A, Class B, Class AB, Class C and Class D
Practical exercises and work related exercises based on designing and developing project modules on amplifier fundamentals to demonstrate an understanding of the following:
o Follow safety procedures in laboratories
o Identifying various amplifier circuits using op-amps
o Measuring and calculating values of voltage gain and output voltage, currents, etc for amplifiers using op-amps
o Trouble shooting amplifier circuits using op-amps
o Methods for testing assumptions encompassing such as visual inspection of the amplifier circuits using op-amps
o Dealing with intermittent faults in amplifier circuits using op-amps
Report Writing: Students will produce written reports on the practical exercises and project modules as per the specifications given and requirements.

Overview of Assessment
This is a progressive assessment, the students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
A. Practical laboratories
B. Written reports for the laboratories.
C. Project / Assignment
Assessment Tasks
This competency is assessed progressively. The assessment consisting of the following tasks:
Task 1 : Laboratories: 20%
The students will have to complete minimum of four laboratories as specified by the teacher and demonstrate the understanding of amplifier through the laboratories. Written Reports for the Laboratories are to be submitted individually by students.
Task 2: Practical Assessments 15%
Each individual student will be assessed for this competency where the student will perform one laboratory (out of the four ) without any assistance and submit the report to the teacher. The student will be required to demonstrate their practical work in order to pass the practical assessment.
Task 3:Project Modules 15%
The students will have to design and develop the project modules (minimum two project modules) as specified by the teacher for the practical exercises and demonstrate the understanding of amplifier fundamentals through the developed project. Written technical report as per the requirement and specifications for each of the project modules should be submitted by each student individually.
Task 4: Written Exam 50%
The students will have one written exam to demonstrate their theoretical knowledge based on basic amplifier circuits as detailed in the course.
All assessment tasks need to be succesfully completed to demonstrate competence.
This course is graded using the following course grades-
CHD- Competent with High Distinction
CDI- Competent with Distinction
CC- Competent with Credit
CAG- Competency Achieved - Graded
NYC- Not Yet Competent
DNS- Did Not Submit for Assessment. (This grade is only to be used where the student’s attendance in the course has been ‘confirmed’ (but they have not participated in any form of assessment and did not withdraw by the census date.)
