Analog Circuits

In this course, we explored the fundamentals of analog circuits through a combination of lectures and hands-on laboratory work. As part of the curriculum, my team designed and constructed various circuits, including a Zener diode clipping circuit, an NPN common-emitter amplifier, as well as inverting and non-inverting amplifiers.  

For our final project, my team built a functional audio amplifier using the LM386 IC, specifically designed to interface with an iPod as the input source. The project involved designing and assembling the circuit, focusing on optimizing compatibility, low power consumption, and delivering clear sound output. Additionally, we tested the amplifier to ensure quality (as best as we could) audio performance, making it suitable for portable media devices.  Unfortunately our professor only allowed us to play a Justin Bieber song of his choice.
