Course detail
FEKT-BPC-AE2Acad. year: 2024/2025
This course improves and extends gained knowledge from Analog electronics 1 in the area of practical analog circuit design and brings an amount of new areas that are essential for designers of analog electronic circuits. The circuits for signal shaping, basic transistor building blocks (differential pairs), design of single stage transistor amplifiers (including bias point), switching applications, guidelines of practical work with operational amplifiers and their specific nonstandard applications, comparative operations, flip-flop circuits and multivibrators, circuits for signal generation, etc. belong to the fundamental skills of bachelor students focused on weak current electronics. The solved examples at lectures are supported by computer (OrCAD PSpice, Snap, Matlab) and laboratory exercises.

Entry knowledge
Students registering for the course should be able to explain the basic principles of electrotechnics, electronic elements, high-school mathematics, basis of experimental work and basis of computer simulation.
Laboratory exercises require qualification „safety in electrical engineering“ available after training course and examination provided before start of semester (or experimental part of education) by special notice from office for foreign students (see official emails and communication!!!)
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
During the semester, student can obtain up to 16 points for his activity in laboratory, up to 16 points for his activity at computer exercises, up to 8 points for test and up to 60 points for final exam (50 points for written form + 10 points for optional discussion).
The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course annually.
Aims
Lectures aim on specific areas of analog circuits and systems focused on impulse, switching, comparative and other linear and nonlinear applications of transistors, operational amplifiers and modern active elements. In addition, these activities target especially on practical utilization of gained knowledge.
The graduate (1) understands problems of selected practically oriented areas (emphasis of design) of analog electronics. The area of gained skills belongs to knowledge of fundamental principle of shaping and switching applications, simple transistor stages and comparators, non-sinusoidal signal generation, etc. The graduate (2) is able to evaluate suitability of active elements for expected application, (3) to select optimal approach, topology, concept, (4) to design/calculate values of circuit elements for specific required operational parameters and (5) to verify operation of circuit by computer simulation and experimentally in laboratory.
