Learning outcomes

1.

Select a suitable model to represent an electronic device for a given application.

2.

Exploit the behaviour of electronic devices to design circuits that serve specified measurement applications.

3.

Separate circuit behaviour into large-signal non-linear analysis and small-signal linear analysis.

4.

Apply suitable approximations to non-linear circuits that lead to simple and effective design equations.

5.

Design electronic circuits that meet given functional and performance specifications.
