ES3032

Introduction to the fundamentals of electronics and circuits for applications (e.g., instrumentation, control systems, and power systems) encountered by engineers. Techniques for analysis to determine voltages, currents, and power are based on Kirchhoff’s Laws and include mesh and nodal analysis. Devices considered are resistors, inductors, capacitors, independent sources, dependent sources, diodes, operational amplifiers, digital-to-analog converters, and analog-to-digital converters. Circuits addressed will contain constant (DC) sources, switched sources, and sinusoidal (AC) sources, for which appropriate techniques will be developed and applied to determine responses in voltage, current, and power.
