Analogical Electronics, Design 2 (6cr)

Objective

Having successfully completed this course, the students will be able to connect both analog and digital sensors to an AD converter and micro-controller, and they can also specify, simulate, design, and implement and test a simple power supply with wireless low power devices. The students will be familiar with the basic components of analog electronics and also the modern circuits and methods used for processing the signals of the analogue sensor. They will be able to apply their knowledge in project studies.
