Aims

The aim of this course is to make students familiar with the state of the art of analogue technology by a suitable combination of theory, intuition, and computer simulation. The subject respects the fact of the co-existence of discrete circuits and permanently increasing amount of integrated circuits.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Computer exercises are mandatory. Properly excused absence from seminars can be replaced by appointment with the teacher.
