Welcome to the course web site of the Masterclass Structured Electronics Design.
The course and this web site are developed and maintained by the instructors Chris Verhoeven and Anton Montagne
Educational method#
The Masterclass Structured Electronics Design is an analog IC circuit design class where students work together on design projects. During weekly meetings, they discuss their achievements with other student teams and the staff. There are no lectures.
This course is a continuation of course EE4109. Only students who have obtained an 8+ for EE4109 can enroll.
At the end of this class, the participants can participate in and contribute to complex analog design discussions.
