Subject matter
The course program will be developed around selected projects that provide a good representation of analog electronics applications.
The projects will be initially presented in the class (problem-solving) sessions, providing the full theoretical framework, where the dimensioning of the projects will be performed.
In the labs, the students will do theirs specific project specification, simulation and testing in breadboard.
The typical projects will be under the topics:
- From the transistor to the operational amplifier (OPAMP)
- The OPAMP as a toolbox.
- Power supply design,
- Switched mode power supply
Each project will be adjusted or changed aligned to the perceived market needs and the professors’ experience.
