PHY405H1
Electronics Lab
Official description
Electrical circuits, networks and devices are all-pervasive in the modern world. This laboratory course is an introduction to the world of electronics. Students will learn the joys and perils of electronics, by designing, constructing and debugging circuits and devices. The course will cover topics ranging from filters and operational amplifiers to micro-controllers, and will introduce students to concepts such as impedance, transfer functions, feedback and noise. The course will include lectures, assigned readings, and a final circuit project.

12L: LEC0101 and LEC9101: 1.0 hours/week, Asynchronous 36P: M2-5/F2-5, On line Synchronous The weekly lecture will be provided asynchronously, and the Instructor and TAs will provide regular online help. Kits will be lent to students before the beginning of the course so that the weekly electronics labs can be done at home. Students may arrange with the course Instructor to pick up the kits in person, or they can provide a shipping address where the kits will be mailed. Students outside Canada must provide this shipping information 8 weeks in advance of the beginning of the course, to allow for possibly significant shipping and customs delays
