EF-F1.6 |
|
| EF-F1.6 | Using prefabricated subsystems, construct simple electronic systems to solve given problems |
| State that in digital electronics there are only two states which may be described as On/Off, 1/0, High/Low |
| Identify the state given by the named input devices for certain input conditions. |
| State that a logic gate is a device which processes digital signals. |
| Identify the logic symbols for NOT, AND, OR logic gates. |
| Describe the output state of the named logic gates for various input combinations. |
| Describe the input conditions required to produce a logic 1 output for named gates. |
| Be able to select appropriate input/output devices for given situations. |
| Be able to identify the logic gate appropriate for a given operation. |
| Be able to construct an electronic system utilising one logic gate to solve a given problem. |
| Be able to construct a an electronic system utilising more than one logic gate to solve a more complex problem. |
| Be able to draw a block diagram representing an electronic system with one logic gate in the process stage. |
| 1 | Usual basic practical work involving electronic building block units such as Alpha, Omega or MFA etc. |
| 2 | Croc Clips is very useful as a learning aid in reinforcing circuit/device function. It is also of help during the design stage by avoiding the trial and error approach in problem solving. |
| 3 | Use Problem Solving Cards from MFA Decisions |
