Udupi, 13 Jan 2016: Dr P R Mukund, a distinguished professor of Rochester Institute of Technology, USA who is also a member of the governing council of Sri Madhwa Vadiraja Institute of Technology and Management (SMVITM) conducted 3-day short course in Analog Electronic Design at SMVITM, Bantakal, near here from January 8 to January 10.

 

The faculty members of the department of electronics and communication engineering of SMVITM and various other Engineering colleges have attended the course and enriched their knowledge.

 

 

During these 3-days, Professor Mukund discussed extensively on MOS differential pair, operational amplifier, frequency analysis, stability analysis, common mode rejection, slew rate, operational trans-conductance amplifier design, design validation using Mentor Graphics tool, folded cascade amplifier, noise analysis, band-gap voltage reference, and related topics. He explained the intricacies of analog design and showed how it is relevant in the present context. He also constituted a research group centered at SMVITM to initiate research activities and undertake sponsored projects on analog electronic design.

 

This was the second course conducted by Professor Mukund on the topic. Earlier, in June 2015 he had conducted a similar course for interested faculty. He promised to keep up the momentum by conducting advanced courses in future.

 

On the first day, Sowmya Bhat, Assistant Professor, introduced the resource person to the gathering.

 

Professor Dr Thirumaleshwara Bhat, principal of SMVITM, thanked Professor Mukund for sparing his valuable time to conduct the course in the College.
