Course content

PN-junction. Diodeapplications. Zener-diode. Transistor (BJT and FET). The transistor as switch and amplifier. DC-DC converters (buck-boost and linear). Battery technology (including Li-ion) and battery charging. Small signal amplifier. Differential amplifier. Power amplifier. Oscillators. Digital CMOS-circuits. None-ideal op-amp.

Learning outcome

Knowledge - The candidate is able to:

  • Explain the fundamental working principles for PN-junction/Si-diode, zener-diode, bipolar transistor and FET-transistor.
  • Explain how the transistor might be used as a switch or an amplifier.
  • Explain the fundamental working principles for DC-DC voltage converters (buck-boost and linear).
  • Explain the build-up of Li-ion batteries and the charging cycles of these.
  • Explain the operation of the small-signal and the differential amplifiers.
  • Explain the difference between class A, B, AB and D power amplifiers.
  • Explain the principle of operation of oscillator circuits.
  • Explain how MOSFET transistors can be used in digital electronic circuits.
  • Explain the non-ideal properties of the op-amp.

Skills - the candidate is able to:

  • Perform theoretical calculations on fundamental electronic circuits based on diodes and transistors.
  • Apply a computer tool to simulate electronic circuits.
  • Perform measurements and fault finding on basic electronic circuits.
  • Reflect on differences between theoretical results based on ideal models and practical measurements.
  • Document work done at the laboratory.

General competence - the candidate is able to:

  • Know Norwegian and English scientific expressions for important components and circuits in the course.
  • Find and apply technical information from datasheets for components.
