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.
