The course aims to deepen the basic knowledge acquired in previous electronics studies and apply it to the design and prototyping of electronic systems. Fundamental techniques for the analysis and verification of electronic circuits for sensor signal conditioning, actuator control and power management are introduced. Furthermore, the course aims to develop practical skills in the behavioral analysis of circuits using circuit simulation software and in their functional verification using laboratory instrumentation. Finally, the use of CAD software for the realization of printed circuit boards and the design of mechanical components suitable for 3D printing is introduced.
