Aim of the course               

The aim of this course is to teach information technology (IT) students the basic elements of electrical circuits and analyzing techniques: currents and voltages, power and energy, Kirchhoff’s current and voltage laws. Basic diode concepts: ideal diode model, Zener diode, rectifiers and AC/DC power supplies. Bipolar Junction Transistors: current and voltage relationships, types of transistors, using of transistor as a switch and an amplifier. Operational amplifiers (op-amp): ideal model of op-amp, inverting and non-inverting amplifier, summer and difference amplifiers and comparators. Sensors: Position, speed, stress, strain, temperature and semiconductor sensors. Actuators: Relays, DC, step and servo motors.
