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.
