Analog Electronics 1Laajuus (5 cr)

Objective

The student is familiar with passive components and most common semiconductors and their features. He/she can draw and simulate functions of simple DC-circuits utilizing a SPICE simulator program. The student recognizes most common components and blocks in circuit diagrams.

Content

Passive components Repetition of the circuit theory Diodes, rectifiers and power supplies Semiconductor basics (BJT’s, FET’s) Passive filter approximations and implementations Ideal and real operational amplifier theory and implementations

Materials

Lecture material and links to various web based tutorials. A. Sedra & K. Smith: Microelectronic Circuits (fourth edition)

Execution methods

Lectures and exercises. At least one comprehensive exercise to be completed independently. 20% of lectures are reserved for exercises. Furthermore students have to do a necessary amount of self-study of the web based tutorials in order to complete the final exercise.
