CCI 4202 ELECTRONICS
Electronics is generally divided into two units.
1. Analogue Electronics
2. Digital Electronics

With the advancement of Digital Electronics one would ask, why learn Analogue
Electronics.
The world we live in is analog. For example, sounds are analog signals; they are
continuous time and continuous value. Our ears listen to analog signals and we speak
with analog signals. Images, pictures, and video are all analog at the source and our eyes
are analog sensors. Measuring our heartbeat, tracking our activity, all requires processing
analog sensor information.

Electronics plays a major role in our daily life for example in:
Consumer electronics
 They include Calculators, scanners, Radios, TV, Computers, Printers, Fax
machines etc.
 Refrigerators, washing Machines, Ovens vacuum cleaners are part of the
electronic home appliances.
 Audio, Video Systems, Video Cassette Recorder VCR, Video Game Consoles are
electronic devices too.
 ATM, Smart Phones, Dish Washers, PDA, Bar Code Scanners are also electronic
devices.
 Storage devices such as memory cards, DVD Players, MP3 Players.
 Transport industry with self- driven cars.

Medical Applications for physiological Analysis and diagnose of diseases.


Industrial Applications to increase productivity and efficiency –human automation.
Industrial Automation, Motion Control, Machine Learning, Robotics, etc
Image Processing in 3D and 2D
Daily use devices:
1. Smartphones, tablets, Ipods
2. Wi-fi and Internet
3. Digital Sounds/Music
4. Digital Camera
5. Food industry
This course will have five modules that correspond to the material in the textbooks and
