Design of analog electronics - analog electronics 2 - High Tech Institute

Intro

This course is the follow-up course of “Design of analog electronics - analog electronics 1”.

The “Analog Electronics 2” module learns to apply, specify and design analog functions that are often required in embedded systems and uses standard integrated circuits and passive components. The functions discussed in this module are: active and passive filters, networks for impedance transformation, matching and –correction, switches, comparators and application of AD and DA converters (selection and application only).

Included in the course price are the course book and the use of the symbolic simulator SLiCAP (Read more here).

The course will be organized either:

through weekly half day online Zoom meetings OR
for the theoretical part through weekly half day online Zoom meetings followed by the practical part through a number of consecutive classical course days in the Netherlands during which the theory is applied in design cases with intensive guidance by the lecturer.

In both situations course participants require a laptop with three packages installed: Maxima CAD (Computer Algebra System), Python (under Windows: Anaconda) and LTSpice. All packages are free and open source and available for Windows, Linux and MacOS.

We will schedule this training as soon as several people have shown their interest by completing the "Keep me posted" form.

Intended for

This course is intended for designers with little or no experience in analog circuit design as well as for experienced analog circuit designers who want to improve their skills.

Education: At least BSc in physics or electrical engineering. Prior knowledge: linear algebra, matrices, complex numbers, transformations, network theory and of the knowledge and skills learned through course module DAE-AE1.
