What are the significant changes to the AS Syllabus?
In general, the syllabus content has been retained as it is believed to give a good grounding in the basics of Electronics. However, the most significant addition to the syllabus has been the introduction of programming to microcontrollers using a flowchart technique. All candidates should find that this section is a good introduction to the power and popularity of microcontrollers and will prepare them well for the microcontroller section found at A2 level, should they decide to continue. Transistor switching using FETs has also been added. To make way for this, some aspects of the previous syllabus have been dropped or moved to A2 level. Notably, the linear power supply and ac have been dropped.
