BASIC QUESTIONS???
•What
•Why
The word ‘Electronics’ is originated from the word electron which
is a branch of science dealing with theory and use of devices in
which the electrons travel through a vacuum, gas or a
semiconductor medium. Electronics is that field of science which
deals with the motion of electrons under the influence of applied
electric and/or magnetic field.

COURSE OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES
• This course introduces the basic components of electronics such as diodes,
transistors, and op-amp. It covers the fundamental aspects of analog
electronics, digital electronics, measurement and instrumentation.
1. the fundamentals of various solid-state devices e.g. diodes, BJTs and their applications in
electronic circuits
2. various number systems, digital logic families and ability to identify, analyse and design
combinational and sequential circuits
3. the concepts of measurement, error, uncertainty, static and dynamic characteristics
4. the fundamentals of instrumentation, classification of instruments and various applications of
instruments

applications: rectifier circuits (half-wave and full-wave rectifiers, rectifiers with
capacitor filter), clipper (limiter) and clamper circuits, introduction to BJT,
structure and modes of operation, n-p-n and p-n-p transistor in active mode,
introduction to op-amp, ideal op-amp, inverting and non-inverting
configuration. (8-10)
• Unit 3: Digital Electronics: Introduction, Boolean algebra and rules of
simplification; logic gates, combinational circuits like adder, decoder, encoder,
multiplexer and de-multiplexer; brief introduction to sequential circuits like
flip-flops, counters and shift registers. (10)
