FYSS6302 Electronics, part B (4 cr)

Content

Open loop and closed loop control systems; positive and negative feedback in control systems; fundamentals of semiconductor physics; introduction to semiconductors devices: diodes and transistors (BJT and MOS); amplifier circuits and their classification; noise sources and their classification; introduction to data acquisition and conversion.

Completion methods

The course can be accomplished by passing the exam, doing exercises (including the tasks in the TIM web environment) and the laboratory work. From these the exam and the lab work are compulsory. The exercises are optional for passing the course, but they will affect the grading.

Assessment details

For passing the course minimum of 30 points are required out of the maximum 60 points available in the course. The total amount points consist of three different parts with the following weights: 17 % exercises and 83 % exam. Additionally, student needs to gain at least 24 points in the exam (max 48 points) and have the laboratory work accepted in order to be graded (Note! minimum of 30 points in total is still needed). The shortcomings in the exercises can be compensated with good performance in the exam, in which case the contribution of the exam in the total grading would be 100%. In this case, the maximum points in the exam are 60 and 30 points are required to pass. For grading, the general tables of the physics department are used.
