Why enroll

This course helps you build strong fundamentals in analog circuit design using simple and clear explanations. It is ideal for students and engineers who want to confidently design amplifiers and understand how real analog circuits work in practice. It also prepares you for advanced studies and industry-oriented analog and IC design roles.

Is this course for you?

You should take this if

  • You work in Electronics & Instrumentation
  • You're a Electronics & Telecommunication professional
  • You have 3+ years of hands-on experience in this field
  • You want to build skills in Engineering & Design, Project Management

You should skip if

  • You're new to this field with no prior experience
  • You need a different specialisation outside Electronics & Telecommunication
  • You need live interaction with an instructor

Course details

This course introduces the fundamentals of analog electronics with a strong focus on amplifier design, which is the backbone of almost every electronic system. You will learn how electronic circuits amplify signals and how amplifiers are designed step by step using MOS transistors only, making the course highly relevant to modern IC and VLSI design. Starting from basic concepts, the course gradually builds your understanding so that you can independently design an operational amplifier by the end of the course. Along the way, important analog building blocks such as voltage regulators, current mirrors, and power amplifiers are also explained with practical insight and clear examples.

Questions and Answers

A: A puts a known current into the exact electrical boundary between field and electronics. That pins the problem without mixing domains. B feels efficient, but sweeping voltage into the ADC skips the current loop physics entirely. You could miss a receiver compliance issue. C is a classic ITP habit from power circuits; a megger on analog wiring risks damage and doesn't explain an intermittent. D sounds software-savvy, but you're trusting an ADC and reference that might already be part of the fault chain.

A: A is the trap. TVS devices clamp fast, high-energy spikes, not sustained DC overvoltage. B and C are exactly why the TVS was added in the DFMEA. D is usually covered as well if polarity and standoff were chosen correctly. The field failure mileage lines up with cumulative stress, not a one-off transient.

A: A lands at roughly 1.6 kHz with standard math. B drops the 2π term, a mistake that shows up when someone flips between ω and f. C feels conservative, but it pushes the cutoff way too low and hurts signal bandwidth. D is tempting from a BOM view, yet the cutoff jumps enough to miss the aliasing target.

A: A ties temperature, saturation, and an otherwise stable design together. Many automotive amps lose common-mode headroom at high temp. B explains distortion, not hard rail lock. C changes gain, but not enough to pin the output unless the sensor also moves. D flips cause and effect; the op-amp doesn't know the ADC reference exists.
