Course detail
Modeling and simulation of electronic circuits
FEKT-BPC-ESIAcad. year: 2021/2022
Students become familiar with basic principles of computer-aided design of electronic circuits. They will learn the use of Spice-class simulators for circuit analysis and characterization in DC, AC, and time domains; analysis of influence of device parameter tolerances on circuit behavior; stability analysis; and optimization. Further, models of passive and active circuit elements and blocks, creation of new model and part libraries are explained. The methods and procedures are demonstrated on computer-aided design of elementary electronic circuits with operating amplifiers and transistors (amplifiers, oscillators, filters). In frame of an individual project, students will design and characterize a given electronic circuit.
