Mode of Delivery: Face to face
Prerequisites: -
Language of Instruction: English
Level of Course Unit: Undergraduate
Course Coordinator: - -
Course Objectives: Students will be able to analyze and design analog circuits. Students will be able to identify constraints and non-ideal situations in design. They will also be able to identify circuit topology, select integrated circuits to be used, determine approximate circuit element values, and overcome some simple performance calculations, taking into account constraints and needs.
Course Contents: Basics of amplifiers, op-amp circuit analysis, current to voltage converters, voltage to current converters, current amplifiers, first order active filters, second order KRC and multiple feedback active filters, voltage comparators, Schmitt triggers, signal generators.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit (LO):
  • 1- Ability to design the basic analog circuit that provides the desired specs.
  • 2- Ability to select an element in circuit design.
  • 3- To be aware of restrictions and non-ideal situations in circuit design.
  • 4- Ability to design an active filter.
  • 5- Ability to design basic nonlinear circuits.
  • 6- Ability to use basic circuit analysis and design programs.
  • 7- Ability to write effective technical reports and to present effectively.
Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods: The course consists of 2 modules. It is for the internalization of concepts through practices (applications or observations) after the first week of lecture in each module consisting of 6 weeks. By making a project at the end of each module, they are asked to apply and present the concepts they learned in the module in a project. The weight of the applications in the course evaluation is 20%, in the project evaluation the weight of the project report is 20%, the project presentation is 20% and the peer review for project presentation is 10%.
