Students are able to explain the basics of MOS and bipolar integrated circuits as well as the special properties of Smart Power Technologies.
They can also identify and analyze the function and performance of respective applications, because they understand the structure of circuit elements such as diagnostic & protection, voltage & current references, driver circuits, comparators & operational amplifiers.
