Analog Electronics - Hardware Engineering

Analog electronics is fundamental to the field of electronic engineering, without it we wouldn't have any digital devices as we know them today.

Through taking this course you will be able to intuitively analyse and design real-world complicated practical circuits.

This course will be offered over three levels:

• Beginners - this level covers:
  • Intuitive understanding of electrons, current, voltage, resistance, and power
  • Series, Parallel, Series-Parallel circuit topologies as well as any generalised circuit topology
  • Systematic analysis of circuits via Kirchoff's Voltage Law, Kirchoff's Current Law, Thevenin's Theorem, Norton's Theorem, Branch Current Analysis, Mesh Current Analysis, Nodal Analysis, and Superposition as well as a handful of others
  • Introduction to transient circuits which feature resistors, capacitors, and inductors connected in all configurations
  • AC circuit analysis for circuits containing resistors, capacitors, and inductors
  • How to simulate circuits

• Intermediate (coming soon) - this level covers:
  • The concept of feedback in Electronic Systems
  • Types of Amplifiers
  • Design and Construction of an Audio Amplifier
  • Design and Construction of an AM Radio
  • Oscillators
  • Fourier Analysis
  • Real component models
  • Fundamentals of PCB Design
  • Higher order filters
  • Generators and Motors
  • Regulators and Switch Mode Power Supplies

• Advanced (coming soon) - this level covers:
  • Noise in Electronic Systems
  • Signal Integrity
  • ESD: Electrostatic Discharge
  • EMC and EMI compliance
  • Safety Compliance
  • DFM: Design For Manufacturing
  • Advanced PCB Design
  • Analog IC Design
