“Real Analog: Circuits 1” is a comprehensive collection of free educational materials that seamlessly blend hands-on design projects with theoretical concepts and circuit analysis techniques. Developed for university “Circuits” classes by practicing engineers and experienced educators, Real Analog: Circuits 1 is centered on a 12-chapter textbook and features:
Note: The textbook can be downloaded as a PDF from the link at the bottom of the page, accessed online via the individual chapters below, or a hard copy can now be purchased on Amazon!
Design projects use Digilent's Analog Discovery 2 and Analog Parts Kit that together include everything needed to build and test a wide variety of analog circuits - the Analog Discovery includes a dual-channel oscilloscope, waveform generator, power supplies, digital I/O channels and more, and the Analog Parts Kit includes a breadboard, jumper wires, more than 20 integrated circuits from Analog Devices, and a wide variety of sensors, resistors, capacitors, discrete semiconductors, and other components.
Real Analog: Circuits 1, the Analog Discovery 2, and Analog Parts Kit form the core of a world-class engineering educational program that can be used by themselves or in support of existing curricular materials. Students with their own design kits learn more, learn faster, retain information longer, and have a more enjoyable experience - now every student can take charge of their education for less than the cost of a traditional engineering textbook!
