Aim
The student should get an understanding for the basic of circuit theory and analysis, and the to this related electronic components. The student will be able to use this knowledge together with an introduction to the electronic components given in the course to be able to build simpler electronic circuits to interface with embedded systems. The student will also get an insight into embedded systems, and the interaction between software-hardware-interface electronics in such systems.

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to describe fundamental circuit theory

• understand the interaction between software-hardware-interface electronics

Skills and abilities
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to analyze simple circuits

• be able to describe laboratory experiments and results in a report

• be able to perform electrical measurements in a professional manner

• be able to design and analyze electronic circuits

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to write a technical report of good quality

• have acquired a good understanding of the field of engineering

• be able to connect measurements with theory with measurement accuracy taken into account

• have knowledge of the compromises necessary when implementing technology.

Contents
The course covers the fundamentals of circuit theory. It covers the basic circuit elements, signals in time and frequency, and transfer functions. This is applied on simple circuits and the basic electronic components. The theoretical knowledge is applied in the laboratory exercises, where here are used in work with the interfaces between a microcontroller and the world.
