| 402-0247-00L | Electronics for Physicists I (Analogue)  Number of participants limited to 40. | 4 credits | 2V + 2P | G. Bison, W. Erdmann | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Passive components, linear networks, transmission lines, simulation of analog circuits, semiconductor components: diodes, bipolar and field-effect transistors, basic amplifier circuits, small signal analysis, differential amplifiers, noise, operational amplifiers, feedback and stability, oscillators, ADCs and DACs, introduction to CMOS technology | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The lecture provides the basic knowledge necessary to understand, design and simulate analog electronic circuits. In the exercises, the concepts can be experienced in a hands-on manner. Every student has the opportunity to go through all steps of an electronic design cycle. Those include designing schematics, generating a printed circuit board layout, and the realization of a soldered prototype. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
