| Brief description of the Unit |
This unit develops the knowledge and skills required to design and analyse both combinational and sequential digital systems, including the use of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools for reliable design, simulation, and testing. The unit also addresses different electronic systems, including the characteristics, performance, and operation of semiconductor devices such as diodes, BJTs, MOSFETs, and operational amplifiers, and develops the ability to perform appropriate circuit analysis. |

| Graduate Attributes: |
| Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FEDTASKS (Transferable Attributes Skills and Knowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are be embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and Co-operative Learning opportunities. One or more FEDTASK, transferable Attributes, Skills or Knowledge must be evident in the specified learning outcomes and assessment for each FedUni Unit, and all must be directly assessed in each Course.
