Description: This course has been designed to help students understand how electronic circuits work. It will provide them with the basic underpinning knowledge necessary to appreciate the operation of a wide range of electronic circuits, including amplifiers, logic circuits, power supplies and oscillators.
The main focus of this course is not only to develop the student ability to analyze and design basic analog electronic circuits with passive components and/or the active elements like diode and transistors. But also, some experiments are provided to help students to have a thorough grasp of the basic electronic circuit problems. During the course, Multisim, the supporting software for circuit analysis is also illustrated appropriately.
