1. Rationale
Analog electronics is a branch of electronics that deals with a continuously variable signal. It is widely used in
radio and audio equipment along with other applications where signals are derived from analog sensors before
being converted into digital signals for subsequent storage and processing. Analog Electronics offers a very
elegant design with many components and would effectively act as an impetus to the digital world.

2. Course Outcomes/Skill Sets: On successful completion of the course, the students will be able to:

Identify the components in a given analog electronic circuit and list their characteristics and
CO-01
uses.

CO-02 Study the given analog circuit and using the data sheets/specification sheets, list alternative
electronic components for the given circuit.
CO-03 Construct an analog electronic circuit for a given application and demonstrate the working of
that circuit either in Real or Simulated environment.
CO-04 Test a given circuit for a desired result/outcome, identify the problem and troubleshoot to obtain
the desired result/outcome.
