Learning Objectives
Explain fundamental electrical principles
- Describe the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance (Ohm’s Law).
- Identify the function and behavior of resistors and capacitors in simple circuits.
Explain different hardware tools and their use-cases
- Oscilloscope
- Logic analyzer
- Multimeter
- Power supply
- ChipWhisperer
Interpret documentation and datasheets
- Locate pinouts, voltage ranges, and timing diagrams in a datasheet.
- Apply datasheet information to correctly wire and test a component on a breadboard.
Assemble and test breadboard circuits
- Build simple circuits on a breadboard from a schematic.
- Select and use resistors/capacitors appropriately for tasks such as current limiting and filtering.
- Verify circuit functionality through measurement and debugging with tools.
