The microcontroller as an embedded system component. Input and output devices in a microcontroller. Charge, voltage, current, power and energy. Electrical and magnetic fields. Kirchhoff's laws and Ohm’s law. Basic functions of components R,L,C, diode, transistor,operational amplifier and the transformator. DC and AC voltage/currents. Independent and dependent sources. Circuit analysis with mesh and node ananlysis, superposition and Thevenin/Norton equivalents. Transients in RC/RL-nets. Analyse RLC-nets including resonance circuits using the phasor method.

This course provides basic knowledge of circuit theory and electronics. It also provides knowledge of the various devices that can be found in a microcontroller and how these are supposed to be used.

This means that the student after completing the course will be able to

design, implement and demonstrate a circuit that is controlled by a microcontroller explain the basic electrical and magnetic concepts describe passivecomponentsandelectricalnetworks perform network calculation and simulations of electrical nets analyze basic electrical circuits choose components in a circuit design conduct measurements on electrical circuits.
