Electronic Circuits

The Electronic Circuits module focuses on practical skills. It allows us to learn how to identify and select a variety of electronic components, as well as assembling, testing and locating faults in electronic circuits.

Breadboard, stripboard and PCB prototyping methods are used for building a series of real world electronic applications. A unique patching board with carrier mounted components and software simulation enable exploration of circuit principles and concepts.

Typical topic areas include: 

• Component identification 
• Circuit construction on a range of prototyping systems 
• Sub-system function, component function and circuit operation 
• Reading component symbols and interpreting circuit diagrams 
• DC and AC signals 
• Analog and digital systems 
• Use of test equipment
• Circuit testing and fault finding
  

Items supplied with ST450 ETP include:

• Electronic Circuits trainer, power supply
• Carrier-mounted components
• Set of circuit links and connecting leads
• 12 packs of breadboards and reusable prototyping components in a storage tray
• Comsumables pack for 24 students in a storage case (contains, PCB, stripboard, components)
