General Course Information

Electronics is the science of controlling electrical current. Probably the most important control elements available to us in digital electronics are transistors. With them, digital calculations can be realized, as well as memory structures can be built.

However, every electronic system needs a power supply. This can be done, for example, with linear regulators or switched mode power supplies. They bring their individual advantages and disadvantages with them. An eye must also be kept on the so-called electromagnetic compatibility.


Content

Course Content

In this MOOC, we mainly deal with different voltage supplies and discuss their strengths and weaknesses, also with regard to electromagnetic compatibility. The main focus is thus on the topics of linear regulators, switching power supplies and the basics of electromagnetic compatibility.

The course is divided into three parts:

  1. Linear Voltage Regulators
  2. Switched Mode Power Supplies
  3. Fundamentals of EMC

Course Goals

The learning objectives of the individual sections are divided into four learning objective taxonomy levels and are detailed again in the respective sections. For the sake of clarity, only the learning objectives of the highest taxonomy level are listed here.

  • Calculate the efficiency of a given circuit with linear regulator and then dimension the heat sink.
  • Dimension a buck/boost/invert converter in continuous mode using given specifications.
  • Interpret the effect of protective measures and concepts against ESD.
  • Comment on countermeasures against differential/common mode faults

Previous Knowledge

The MOOC assumes only some basic knowledge of electrical engineering. This includes:

  • Ohm's law,
  • Kirchhoff's circuit rules,
  • Alternating and direct current,
  • Basics of electrical components (resistor, coil, capacitor, voltage and current sources).
  • Basics of electronics (diodes, bipolar transistors, MOSFETs, transistor circuits and operational amplifiers, see ElectrONiX - Amplifiers)
  • Passive filters and resonant circuits (See ElectrOnix - Resonance)

Course Procedure

Each unit is structured as follows:

  1. The first videos lay the theoretical foundations of each unit.
  2. These Videos are followed by a voluntary self-examination to check the theoretical knowledge.
  3. The following block deals with practical examples,
  4. again followed by a voluntary self-examination.
  5. For the particularly motivated, we offer additional material. This can be simulation examples or detailed elaborations.
  6. Finally, there is a test. In order to obtain a certificate, at least 75% of the points must be achieved.
  7. Positive completion of the test results in receiving a badge.

Questions can be asked in the accompanying forum. These can then be answered by both the course creators and the participants.

Certificate

For actively participating in the course you will receive an automatic certificate which includes your username, the course name as well as the completed lessons. We want to point out that this certificate merely confirms that the user answered at least 75% of the self-assessment questions correctly.

In addition, a badge is created for each unit, which can be downloaded as an image.
