Introducing students to specific application of modern software packages in electronics.

- students’ ability to independently design a PCB of one simple electronic circuit in the programming environment. - the ability to analyze simple electronic circuit using the software package MCap7 - the ability to simulate analog and digital electronic circuits using the modern software packages SPICE, MCap7.

Introduction to Protel software package. Doing a project assignment in this software package. Introduction to Windows oriented SPICE programme MCap version 7. Application of MCap7 in the simple analog circuits, such as inverting, non-inverting amplifiers based on the OP. Determining different forms of offsets of OP and the methods for determining their values. Determining the voltage gain of linear circuits with OP (inverting and non-inverting configuration). Operation analysis of amplifiers with a common emitter. Determining the input and output resistance. Determining the voltage gain with transmissive properties, from the results of transient analysis and based on the results of AC analysis. Determining the limits of the field of linear work with transmissive properties based on the results of transient analysis. Understanding the MCap7a during simulation of digital circuits. The basic elements of digital simulation (fixed digital value, the signal generator and how it is programmed, the results and their control, etc.)

Computer Practice. Laboratory Practice. Consultations. Smaller independent project.
