UNIT 2
MODULE 2: A C THEORY AND ELECTRONICS (cont’d)

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES EXPLANATORY NOTES SUGGESTED PRACTICAL
ACTIVITIES

Operational Amplifiers (cont’d)

Students should be able to:

4.14. describe the use of the Mention of practical uses of Use two separate power
inverting amplifier as a summing amplifier, for supplies along with
summing amplifier; example, mixing boards. multimeters to investigate
the output voltage
compared to the input
voltages.

4.15. solve problems related to Relate to the use of
summing amplifier circuits; summing amplifier as a
digital to analogue convert.

4.16. describe the use of the Mention the important
operational amplifier as a practical use of the voltage
voltage follower; and, follower as a buffer or
matching amplifier, for
example, effect pedals for
guitarists.

4.17. analyse simple operational Analysis of the response of
amplifier circuits. amplifier circuits to input
signals, using timing
diagrams.

5. Logic Gates

Students should be able to:

5.1. describe the function of the For logic gate circuit
following logic gates: NOT, symbols, use the ANSI
AND, NAND, OR, NOR, EXOR, system.
EXNOR; Include the equivalence
relationship between
different gates, for
example, AND from NORS,
OR from NANDS, NOR from
OR+NOT, NOT from NOR.
