Course content
Power supply circuits, supplies with one-way and two-way rectification, supplies with diode bridge (Graetz), filtration of the output (smoothing) with help of capacitor and self-induction coil (inductor). Multiphase rectification (six-pulse, twelve-pulse). Stabilizers of power supplies for electronic equipments, analog and discrete stabilizers, safeguard and protection of power supplies. Special types of power supplies. Electronic circuits with diodes - amplitude detector, phase detector, ring modulator, sample and hold circuit. Special electronic circuits with diodes - amplitude limiters, limiters with Zener diodes. Basic circuits with "multilayer diodes" - thyristors and triacs (controlled rectifiers). Circuits for power control and switching. Transistor switching amplifiers, their characteristics. Switching amplifiers with low delays, pulse amplifiers, switching amplifiers with inductive load (coils, transformers), bistable and monostable flip-flops. Circuits with resonance circuits, amplifiers with resonance circuit, high frequency amplifiers, oscillators. Principles of oscillation, frequency multipliers, circuits with coupled inductors. Various types of voltage and current transistor amplifiers for low-frequency and power applications. Operational amplifiers and their using in various applications - amplifiers, comparators, filters, pulse circuits, oscillators. Special circuits, namely integrated blocks.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Methods of individual activities, Laboratory work
Learning outcomes
The aim (objective) of the course (subject) is to acquaint (familiarize) students with basic electronic circuits, their electric schemes, functioning and electric quantity waveforms. Basic theory of circuit function for simplified conditions is completed with electronic circuits simulation with help of SPICE. With help of computer simulation the function of the circuit can be shown with details. Exercises are carried in laboratory.
After the study of this subject the student will understand the function of basic electronic circuits and will be able to design electronic circuits with desired characteristics.
Prerequisites
Some knowledge of electromagnetics, linear electric circuits, basic characteristics of electronic elements and solving of electronic circuits with help of computer simulation (SPICE) is needed.

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

Some knowledge of electronic circuits analysis with help of computer simulation is presumed. Prior to exam student have to work out laboratory measurements in written form.
