- To list the basic types of the A/D converters.

In the laboratory practices the student measures and analyses signals in different electronic circuits with help of oscilloscope. Each circuit (i.e. each work) is realised on the printed circuits board as in the real technical praxis. Student trains following skills:
- To handle and to use basic measure instruments in the electronics laboratory: oscilloscope, signal generator, laboratory supplies.
- To measure properties of the phase pended loop with the circuit 4046.
- To measure the transfer features of the operational amplifier in the invert and non-invert connections: P, P+LF filter of 1st order, follower.
- To measure the transfer features of the active LF-filter of 2nd order with the operational amplifier.
- To measure the static and dynamic features of the signal transistor in the switching regime. To design the optimal driving circuit of the transistor in the switching regime.
- To measure and to analyse the static and dynamic features the operational amplifier connected as the comparator with/without the hysteresis. To realise the oscillator with help of the comparator with the hysteresis.
- To measure and to analyse the features the operational amplifier connected as the integrator. To use the integrator to the realisation of the triangle signal generator. To set the PWM modulator with the help of its.
- To measure the static features of the constant current source with the bipolar transistor. To set the saw voltage generator with the help of it.
- To describe the function and connection of the D/A converter DAC08, the programmable counter CMOS 4029 and the memory Intel 27C64.

Prerequisites

- The student should know the calculations with complex numbers.
- The student should be able to use the Kirchhoffs laws – practically, with a clear insight to a concrete circuit situation.
- The student should know the practical approach to the theoretical solution of linear circuits (sequential simplification, superposition principle, replacement of a voltage source with a serial resistance by a current source with the parallel resistance or in the opposite way, Thevenins theorem). He should know to choose the most advantageous method in each situation and to use it, what needs training. He should understand that the loop current or node voltage methods are simple mechanically applicable however they lead to a system of linear equations whose solving is to heavy going and slow and therefore non-effective for hand-made circuit analysis.
- The student should understand the geometrical interpretation of terms derivation, definite/indefinite integral. He must be able to draw a function created as a derivation or an integral of any previously drawn function – for example a constant, rectangle shape, linear growing etc. He must understand concretely the practical meaning of the integration constant.
