Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Work with text (with textbook, with book), Methods of individual activities
Learning outcomes
The aim of this course is the analysis and synthesis (design) of electronic circuits with help of computer, namely with the program SPICE. Though the main stress is on solving of the electronic circuits with help of computer, the solving with help of simplified equivalent circuits without computer is also shown.
After study of this subject student will be able to use computer for analysis and synthesis (design) of electronic circuits
Prerequisites
Pre-requisite for study is some knowledge of Electric Circuits and Electronic Devices and Circuits.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination, Home assignment evaluation

Some knowledge of Electric Circuits and Electronic Devices and Circuits is needed. Besides the lessons and exercises the study of this subject includes also an individual work, which will show the ability of the student to use computer for analysis and design of electronic circuit.
