Teaching methods

During the course, the structure and the operating principles of different analog and power electronic circuits for industrial applications will be studied by complementing the theoretical lessons with numerical design examples.

Assessment methods

The final test will consist in two oral examination, each one focused on the two different modules.

Teaching tools

Recommended readings. Slides and lecture notes.

Circuit simulations with LTSpice.
