Brief description of the Unit

This course will enable a student to develop the basic knowledge and gain an understanding of the analog electronic devices such as operation of diodes, transistors and operational amplifiers and their applications, analysis and design in practical circuits. Also, through this course a student will be able develop an awareness of the advantages and limitations of solving combinational logic problems, confidence in the analysis of practical logic circuits and the use of software to demonstrate the validity of the theory.
