Linear amplifiers. Operational amplifiers. Operational amplifier circuits. Nonlinear devices: diodes & transistors. Switching circuits. Power supplies, AC to DC conversion.
This course introduces circuits and devices used in electronic systems for sensing andactuation. Topics covered include linear amplifiers, operational amplifiers and theircircuits, nonlinear devices (diodes and transistors), switching circuits, power supplies andac to DC conversion. Applications covered include interfacing with sensors, analogue todigital conversion and switch mode power supplies.
At the conclusion of this course you should be able to:LO1: Identify, recognise, and apply fundamental electronic concepts in simple electronic systems (WA1)LO2: Identify electronic components, use these in simple electronic systems, and recognise their limitations (WA1, WA5)LO3: Identify, analyse, measure and predict the behaviour of opamp circuits for a specific application (WA2, WA3)LO4: Identify, analyse, measure and predict the behaviour of basic amplifier, transistor and multistage amplifier circuits (WA2, WA3)LO5: Perform experiments to determine, investigate and communicate electronic circuit behaviour in a team environment. (WA4, WA5, WA9, WA10)
This course will provide students with an opportunity to develop the Graduate Attributes specified below:
Critically competent in a core academic discipline of their award
Students know and can critically evaluate and, where applicable, apply this knowledge to topics/issues within their majoring subject.
Employable, innovative and enterprising
Students will develop key skills and attributes sought by employers that can be used in a range of applications.
Biculturally competent and confident
Students will be aware of and understand the nature of biculturalism in Aotearoa New Zealand, and its relevance to their area of study and/or their degree.
Engaged with the community

AI tool useGenerative AI Tools Are Not Restricted for Quiz 1 and Quiz 2 and Lab experiments.In these assessments, you are permitted to use generative artificial intelligence (AI) to assistyou in any way within the bounds of academic integrity.Generative AI Tools Cannot Be Used for the Test and Exam.In these assessments, you are strictly prohibited from using generative artificial intelligence(AI) to generate any materials or content related to the assessment. This is because therequirements of these assessment are for students to demonstrate human knowledge and skillacquisition without the assistance of AI. The use of AI-generated content is not permitted andmay be considered a breach of academic integrity. Please ensure that all work submitted isthe result of your own human knowledge, skills, and efforts.Scaling of marksScaling is used to maintain consistency across the courses and fairness for students. In theFaculty of Engineering target course GPAs are calculated based on the performance of thecohort of students taking the course in the previous year. Scaling of the raw total coursemarks is normally performed so that when converted to grades (using UC Grade Scale)the outgoing GPA is in line with the target GPA for a course. Scaling up or down canoccur. The Grading Scale for the University is availableat https://www.canterbury.ac.nz/study/study-support-info/study-related-topics/gradingscale.Dishonest PracticePlagiarism, collusion, copying and ghost writing are unacceptable and dishonest practices.• Plagiarism is the presentation of any material (test, data, figures or drawings, on anymedium including computer files) from any other source without clear andadequate acknowledgment of the source.• Collusion is the presentation of work performed in conjunction with another personor persons, but submitted as if it had been completed only by the named author(s).• Copying is the use of material (in any medium, including computer files) producedby another person(s) with or without their knowledge and approval.• Ghost writing is the use of another person(s) (with or without payment) to prepareall or part of an item submitted for assessment.Do not engage in dishonest practices. The Department reserves the right to refer dishonestpractices to the University Proctor and, where appropriate, to not mark the work.HarassmentHarassment of any sort will not be tolerated. Each student is here at UC to learn and toexperience a friendly and supportive community. It is every student’s right to expect:respect and courtesy from staff and other students, including freedom from harassment ofany sort; fair treatment; the ability to speak out about any issues that concern them, withoutClassification: In-Confidencefear of consequences for their safety and wellbeing. Furthermore, each student has theresponsibility to: respect the rights and property of others; attend to their own health andsafety and that of others; and behave in a manner towards each other that does not reflectbadly on the student body or the University.For more information, or to find out where help is available, refer to:www.canterbury.ac.nz/ucpolicy/GetPolicy.aspx?file=Harassment-Policy.pdf.
