• 26 hrs lectures
• 6 hrs exercises
• 13 hrs laboratories
• 13 hrs pc labs

The graduate (1) understands problems of selected practically oriented areas (emphasis of design) of analog electronics. The area of gained skills belongs to knowledge of fundamental principle of shaping and switching applications, simple transistor stages and comparators, non-sinusoidal signal generation, etc. The graduate (2) is able to evaluate suitability of active elements for expected application, (3) to select optimal approach, topology, concept, (4) to design/calculate values of circuit elements for specific required operational parameters and (5) to verify operation of circuit by computer simulation and experimentally in laboratory.

Lectures aim on specific areas of analog circuits and systems focused on impulse, switching, comparative and other linear and nonlinear applications of transistors, operational amplifiers and modern active elements. In addition, these activities target especially on practical utilization of gained knowledge.

Students registering for the course should be able to explain the basic principles of electrotechnics, electronic elements, high-school mathematics, basis of experimental work and basis of computer simulation.
Work in the laboratory is conditioned by a valid qualification of a "trained worker" according to Notice 50/1978 Coll., which students must obtain before the start of teaching. Information on this qualification is given in the Dean's Directive Familiarization of students with safety regulations.
