rolein trade-off design.2.1.2 Electronic circuits labElectronic circuits lab requires students to build an AC-DC power supply that also incorporates aDC-DC converter in the form of a simple LDO shown in Fig. 2b. The converter in Fig. 2b uses aVz = 4.7 V zener diode that is used as a voltage reference generator. The design specifications aregiven in terms of output voltage, ripple constraints, load current requirements. The referencegenerator circuit is the same to the circuit shown in Fig. 2a and also follows very similar designmethodology. Since the reference generator circuit appears in a different context and studentfocus is on meeting design specifications, the connection to circuit shown in Fig. 2a is oftenmissed. In addition, prior to

. The circuit below represents an AC circuit in steady-state in the phasor domain (for the complex numbers, you may assume units are V, A, Ω, etc. as appropriate). The current source 𝑖𝑆 is an AC source with 𝜔 = 5 rad/s. Each box represents the impedance of a single circuit element (a resistor, capacitor or inductor). Find the average power 𝑃𝑠 supplied by the voltage source. Figure 1. Example of a holistic problem design. Table 1. Grading rubric for the holistic problem example.

Institute, in the Fall semester of 2022. The selected course has heavy loads ofmathematics and physics knowledge while having one prerequisite of Introduction to Electricaland Computer Engineering and two co-requisites including Applied Engineering Analysis andPhysics for Scientists and Engineers. The Applied Engineering Analysis course prepares studentswith knowledge of the analysis of engineering problems using linear algebra and ordinarydifferential equations (ODE’s). The physics course covers knowledge of electricity andmagnetism, fundamentals of circuits, electromagnetic induction, and alternative current (AC)circuits. All these topics in the co-requisites are foundations for the Network Theory course.Students registered in the Fall of 2022
