Advanced Electronics Laboratory

Catalog description

The objective of this advanced electronics lab course is to provide hands-on design experience for students. The students will have the opportunity to leverage theoretical knowledge acquired during ESE 272 and ESE 273 to design and test more complex and highly popular electronic circuits such as multi-stage amplifier, voltage regulator, and DC-DC boost and buck converters, data converters, and phase-locked loop. The initial several experiments will be based on the fundamental single stage amplifiers. The rest of the experiments will be more design centric where students will have the responsibility to determine either topology or the values of the circuit elements in each experiment in order to satisfy specific design objectives. The lectures will cover the theoretical principles as well as related design tradeoffs. Different topologies and analysis techniques will be presented for each circuit, guiding students during the design process.
