Grading criteria: P1, P2, P3, P7, P8, D1

1

P1: Explain the purpose of two different types of diode, each

in a different electronic circuit application

2

P2: Explain the operation of two different types of transistor,

one in an analogue and one in a digital circuit

3

P3: Explain the operation of three different logic gates with

appropriate gate symbols, truth tables and Boolean

expressions

4

P7: Use a computer software package to simulate the construction and testing of an analogue circuit with three different types of components

5

P8: Use a computer software package to simulate the construction and testing of a digital logic circuit with three gates.

6

D1: Using a simulation package, analyse the effects of changing the values of circuit parameters on the performance of an analogue circuit containing an operational amplifier or transistors

Scenario: You are starting out as an apprentice technician where you need to understand a range of electronic circuits. You have been asked to explain these and to use a computer simulation package such as Yenka to build and test different types of analogue and digital circuits.

Evidence you must produce for this assignment: Written report with appropriate calculations. Also a copy of computer circuit simulator files.

Sources of information: Unit 4 course notes sections 1 and 2.

*Re-submission Conditions: Only one opportunity to re-submit work will be allowed for each task. All three of the conditions below must be met if this is to be allowed: These are that:

· You have met the original ‘deadline’ date or agreed extension date. The normal extension on receipt of approved extenuating circumstances will be 5 days

· Your tutor judges that you will be able to provide improved evidence without further guidance

· Your tutor can be sure that the evidence submitted is your own work, and that you have signed a declaration of authenticity declaring that it is your own work.

A resubmission date will be set for 10 working days after the assessment has been returned to you.
