Next lecture:

  • Date: Thursday, February 20 2025

  • Time: 08:45 - 10:30

  • Location: Boole (36.HB.T0.610)

  • Web page

Educational method#

  • At the beginning of the course:

    • The application specification of an amplifier to be designed will be presented

    • Sudent design teams will be formed

  • Step-by-step design of this amplifier will be discussed during the lectures

    • Motivation of the design steps, their underlying theory and application to other designs will be elucidated.

    • Examples and exercises will help the participants to understand the design steps and their interaction.

    • Student design teams will apply the new theory to the design

  • At the end of the course

    • Student design teams present their work during a poster session

    • Student design teams build and test their design

  • Grading (prefered): Student design team reviews

    • Student design teams present and discuss the achieved results together with the staff.

  • Grading (alternative): Quiz

Structure of the lectures#

Preparation#

Students need to prepare the lecture as follows:

  • Study the sections in the book associated with that lecture

  • Study the presentations of the lecture

  • Watch the videos of the lecture

First hour#
