What is an Electronic Circuit

Design?
It is a plan or drawing produced to
show the look and function or
workings of an electronic circuit.

What is an Electronic Circuit ?

An electronic circuit is composed of
individual electronic components,
such as resistors, transistors,
capacitors, inductors, ICs and diodes,
connected by conductive wires or
traces through which electric current
can flow.

Things we need to know before we

can design an electronic circuit:
basic characteristics of voltage, current, and
resistance
Basic knowledge on Electronics theories and
principles
Functions and applications of electronic
components
Basic knowledge on basic circuits like amplifiers,
power supplies, etc.
Knowledge on how to operate a circuit design and
simulation software
