This course is about learning the practical and theoretical skills to design, build and analyse a broad range of circuits, including audio systems, robotics, computers, radio and TV transmission and control systems.
Name: Electronics A Level Qualification title: GCE A Level Qualification type: GCE A/AS Level or equivalent Assessment AS Level Principles of Electronics. 40% of A level/80% of AS Level. System synthesis (the building blocks of circuits), DC Electrical circuits, Input and output sub-systems (how to get your circuit to interact with the world), Energy and power, Semiconductor components, Logic systems, Operational amplifiers, Timing circuits, Sequential logic systems, Microcontrollers. Mains power supply systems. Assessed by written examination. Design and Build & Investigate Electronic Circuits. 20% of A This unit assesses candidates’ skills at design, building, testing and reporting on a digital, an analogue and a microprocessor circuit. This unit is internally assessed and externally moderated. A2 Level Application of electronics. 40% of A Level. AC circuits and passive filters, Signal conversion (between analogue and digital), Communication systems, Optical communication, Wireless transmission, Digital communications, Instrumentation systems (measuring the real world), High power switching systems (controlling large amounts of power), Audio systems Assessed by written examination. Design, Build & Investigate Electronic Circuits. 20% of A Level. This A2 practical unit will assess a candidate’s ability and skill in designing, building, testing and reporting on two advanced electronic systems of their own choosing. The first is a microprocessor system and is worth 29% of the unit, the second is a “substantial” system including analogue and digital electronics, and makes up 71% of the unit. This unit is internally assessed and externally moderated. Awarding Eduqas Created 20160201 14:00:31 Updated 20161206 11:54:32
