Description

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. The tables can be found at https://www.jyu.fi/science/opiskelu-ohjeet/fysiikka/fysiikan-opintojaksojen-suorittaminen-ja-arvostelu.

Learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to describe different parts in a control system and differentiate the benefits and shortcomings in both negative and positive feedback. Students will be able to explain the basic principles of semiconductors and how doping affects them as well as apply semiconductor components (diodes and transistors) in basic circuits as well as construct basic amplifier circuits by using bipolar and MOS transistors. They will be able to classify and describe the different noise sources relevant to electronics components and systems and identify different data acquisition and conversion methods.
