DAY 1: INTRODUCTION TO BASIC ELECTRONICS

 Electronics is the branch of engineering that deals with the design, operation, and application
of devices and circuits that manipulate the flow of electrons. It involves active
components like transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits (ICs), which can control or
amplify electrical signals, and passive components like resistors, capacitors, and inductors,
which manage or store energy within a circuit.

Fundamental Concepts:
 Voltage (V): The electric potential difference between two points, measured in volts.
 Current (I): The flow of electric charge, measured in amperes.
 Resistance (R): The opposition to current flow, measured in ohms.
 Ohm’s Law: Relates voltage, current, and resistance: V = I × R
 Circuit: A closed path through which electric current flows.
Basic Electronic Components:
 Resistors: Control the flow of current in a circuit.
 Capacitors: Store and release electrical energy, often used for filtering signals.
 Diodes: Allow current to flow in only one direction.
 Transistors: Amplify or switch electronic signals.
 Inductors: Store energy in a magnetic field and filter alternating currents.
 Integrated Circuits (ICs): Combine multiple components into a single chip for
complex functions

Ohm’s Law:
Named after the great GERMAN Physicist and
Mathematician – GEORG SIMON OHM, The Ohm’s law is a fundamental Principle in
Electronics and Electrical Engineering. This law states that electric current is proportional to
voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.
Mathematically, the law states that V = IR, where V is the voltage difference, I is the current
in amperes, and R is the resistance in ohms.
Passive Components:
These components are those that do not have gain or directionality.
Example: Resistors, Capacitors, Diodes, Inductors.

Active Components:
These components are those that have gain or directionality.
Energy & Utilities
Example: Transistors, Integrated Circuits or ICs, Logic Gates.
DAY 2: RESISTOR COLOUR CODING VALUES AND
CAPACITOR AND DIODE AND TRANSISTER AS
SWITCH

RESISTOR COLOUR CODING:

Resistor colour codes use coloured bands to indicate
resistance, tolerance, and sometimes temperature coefficient, allowing easy identification of
resistor values.

Color to Value Mapping:

Color Digit Multiplier Tolerance

Black 0 ×1 -

Brown 1 ×10 ±1%

Red 2 ×100 ±2%

Orange 3 ×1,000 -

Yellow 4 ×10,000 -

Green 5 ×100,000 ±0.5%

Blue 6 ×1,000,000 ±0.25%

Violet 7 ×10,000,000 ±0.1%

Grey 8 - ±0.05%

White 9 - -

Gold - ×0.1 ±5%

Silver - ×0.01 ±10%

None - - ±20%
How to Read a Resistor:
1. Identify the tolerance band (usually gold, silver, or a wider band) to determine the
reading direction.
2. Read the significant digits from the first bands.
3. Apply the multiplier from the next band.
4. Check tolerance from the last band to know the possible variation in resistance.
Example: A 4-band resistor with colours Red, Violet, Yellow, Gold:
 Red = 2, Violet = 7 → 27
 Yellow multiplier = ×10,000 → 27 × 10,000 = 270,000 Ω (270 kΩ)
 Gold tolerance = ±5% → actual resistance ranges from 256.5 kΩ to 283.5 kΩ

CAPACITOR AND DIODES:

 A capacitor is an electronic component that stores energy

in the form of an electric field between two conductive
plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric.
 A diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to
flow in one direction only, from the anode to the cathode,
while blocking reverse current.
DIFFERENCE:

Feature Capacitor Diode

Function Stores and releases electrical energy Allows current in one direction only
Structure Two conductive plates separated by a N-type and P-type semiconductor
dielectric junction
Measurement Capacitance (Farads) Forward voltage (Volts)
Applications Filtering, timing, energy storage Rectification, protection, switching
Polarity Can be polarized or non-polarized Always polarized (anode and cathode)

TRANSISTOR AS SWITCH:

A transistor can function as an electronic switch by operating it in either

the cutoff (OFF) or saturation (ON) regions, allowing a small input current to control a larger
load current. Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT) and Field Effect Transistors (FETs),
though BJTs are current-controlled while FETs are voltage-controlled.

NPN vs PNP Transistor Switching:

 NPN Transistor: The load is typically connected to the collector. When a positive
voltage is applied to the base relative to the emitter, the transistor saturates and the
load is powered. Removing the base voltage turns the transistor off.
 PNP Transistor: The load is connected to the emitter. Applying a negative voltage to
the base relative to the emitter turns the transistor on, while removing it turns the
transistor off.
DAY 3: EMBEDDED INTRODUCTION

EMBEDDED SYSTEM:

An embedded system is a specialized computing system designed to

perform a specific task or set of tasks. It integrates both hardware and software components
to achieve its functionality. Unlike general-purpose computers, embedded systems are
dedicated to particular operations and often operate with minimal or no human intervention.

Embedded systems can function independently or as part of a larger system. For example, a
washing machine's embedded system controls its washing cycles, while a car's embedded
system manages engine performance and safety features.

DAY 5: SENSORS

Sensors are devices that detect changes in the environment and convert them into electrical
signals for measurement, monitoring, or control purposes.

Definition and Function

A sensor is a device that receives and responds to a signal or stimulus, such as light,
temperature, motion, or pressure, and converts it into an electrical signal that can be
interpreted by a computer or control system. Sensors act as the interface between the physical
world and electronic systems, enabling automation, monitoring, and data collection in various
applications.

Classification of Sensors:
Sensors can be classified in several ways:

 By power requirement:

DAY 6: RELAYS AND ISOLATION
Isolation relays are electrical devices that separate two circuits to protect sensitive
components and ensure safe operation by preventing unwanted voltage or current from
passing between them.

Function and Purpose:

Isolation relays act as a barrier between control and power circuits, preventing high voltages
or transient spikes from damaging sensitive equipment. They are commonly used in
industrial, commercial, and utility applications to protect devices, improve system reliability,
and enable safe switching of high-power loads without direct electrical connection to the
control circuit. They are also used for pulse metering, signal conditioning, and long-distance
transmission in utility systems.

Types of Isolation Relays:

1. Electromechanical Isolation Relays – Traditional relays with moving contacts that

physically separate circuits. They are reliable but may wear over time.
2. Solid-State Relays (SSR) – Use semiconductor components to provide isolation
without moving parts, offering higher reliability, faster switching, and longer lifespan.
SSRs can include capacitive or magnetic isolation and often integrate features like
avalanche current protection and dual isolated comparators.
3. Utility-Specific Relays – Designed for pulse metering and totalizing, often
compatible with legacy KYZ pulse systems, and protect against transient voltage
spikes.

Voltage Ratings and Configurations:

Isolation relays are available in 12 or 24 VAC or VDC for general-purpose applications.

Solid-state relays can provide reinforced isolation up to 5 kVRMS and basic isolation up to
3.75 kVRMS, suitable for controlling MOSFETs, IGBTs, or SCRs in high-voltage systems.

Wiring and Installation

 Control signal input – Low-voltage signal from a controller or switch.

 Power circuit input – Higher voltage source connected to the load.
 Load connection – Equipment or device being controlled.
 Common/ground connection – Reference potential for the system.
The relay coil or semiconductor driver activates the contacts or switches, allowing
the control circuit to operate the load without direct electrical connection,
ensuring safety and preventing interference . Wiring diagrams are essential for proper
installation and troubleshooting.

Applications:

Industrial automation – Protect PLCs and sensors from high-power circuits.

  Utility metering – Pulse isolation and totalizing for electricity, water, or gas meters.
 High-voltage systems – Control of MOSFETs, IGBTs, or SCRs with reinforced
isolation.

ELECTROMECHANICAL RELAYS:

Electromechanical relays are switches that use an electromagnet to control

high-power circuits with low-power signals, providing electrical isolation and reliable
switching.

Working Principle:

An electromechanical relay operates on electromagnetic induction. When a current flows

through the relay coil, it generates a magnetic field that attracts a movable iron armature. This
armature mechanically moves the contacts to open or close a circuit, allowing a low-power
control signal to switch a high-power load safely. A spring returns the armature to its original
position when the coil is de-energized, ensuring proper operation.

Types of Electromechanical Relays:

 SPST (Single Pole Single Throw): Simplest type with one input and one output
 SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw): One input switch between two outputs
 DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw): Two inputs, each switching between two
outputs
 Master Trip Relays: Used in protection systems, requiring manual reset after faults
to ensure safety

Construction

 Coil
 Movable Armature
 Contacts
 Spring

Application

 Control Systems
 Telecommunication

FLYBACK DIODES

A flyback diode is a diode connected across an inductive load to safely dissipate voltage
spikes caused by sudden current interruption.

OPTO COUPLER: An optocoupler is a device that electrically isolates two

circuits while transferring signals via light. In relay-driven or high-voltage circuits,
optocouplers are used to protect microcontrollers or low-voltage logic from voltage spikes
and ground loops.
DAY 7: POWER SUPPLY AND VOLTAGE

REGULATOR
Every embedded system needs power. A microcontroller, its sensors, displays, and
communication modules all require a stable voltage to operate correctly. If the power supply
is noisy, unstable, or at the wrong voltage, your system will behave unpredictably or even get
damaged.

Understanding power supply design is essential because:

 Different components need different voltages (3.3V, 5V, 12V)

 Batteries provide varying voltage as they discharge
 Noise on the power line can cause false sensor readings
 Exceeding a component’s voltage rating destroys it

Common Voltage Levels in Embedded Systems:

VOLTAGE COMMON USE

1.8V Modern low-power microcontrollers, some memory

chips

3.3V Most modern MCUs (ESP32, STM32, nRF52),

sensors, SD cards

5V Arduino, USB devices, older sensors, relay modules

9V/12V
Motors, solenoids, LED strips, input power

A common scenario:

You power your board from a 9V battery or 12V adapter, then regulate it down to 5V and
3.3V for different components

Power Supply Sources:(USB Power):

USB provides 5V and is the most common power source during development. Standard USB
2.0 supplies up to 500mA. USB 3.0 can supply up to 900mA. This is sufficient for most
microcontroller boards with a few sensors
Batteries:

BATTERY TYPE NOMINAL VOLTAGE NOTES

AA / AAA (Alkaline) 1.5V per cell 2x AA = 3V, 3x AA = 4.5V
Li-Ion / LiPo
3.7V (4.2V full, 3.0V Rechargeable, high-energy
empty) density

CR2032 (Coin cell) 3V Low current, long shelf life

9V Battery 9V Convenient but limited
capacity

Voltage Regulators:

A voltage regulator converts one DC voltage to another, stable DC voltage. There are two
main types:

Linear Regulators (LDO):

A linear regulator (Low Dropout Regulator or LDO) reduces voltage by dissipating the
excess as heat. It is simple and produces very clean, low-noise output.

V_in (9V) ──── [LDO Regulator] ──── V_out (3.3V)

GND

(heat!)

Excess energy = (V_in - V_out) × I_out

= (9V - 3.3V) × 0.1A

= 0.57W dissipated as heat

Popular linear regulator:

Dropout voltage is the minimum difference needed between input and output. An LDO with
0.2V dropout can regulate 3.5V input to 3.3V output. A standard regulator like the LM7805
needs at least 7V input to produce stable 5V
Advantages:

Simple, cheap, very low noise, no switching artifacts, minimal external components.

Disadvantages:

Inefficient when input-output voltage difference is large (wasted as heat), can overheat at
high currents.

Switching Regulators (Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost):

Switching regulators use an inductor and a rapidly switching transistor to convert voltage
much more efficiently. They waste very little energy as heat

Popular switching regulators:

 LM2596 – Buck converter, 3A, easy to use with adjustable output

 MP1584 – Small buck converter, up to 3A
 MT3608 – Boost converter, up to 2A
 TPS63001 – Buck-boost, ideal for single-cell LiPo projects

Advantages:
Very efficient (85-95%), can step up voltage, handles large voltage differences well, minimal
heat.

Disadvantages:

More complex, generates electrical noise (switching artifacts), requires inductor and
capacitors, more expensive.

Decoupling Capacitors:

Every IC in your circuit should have a decoupling capacitor (also called a bypass capacitor)
placed as close as possible to its power pins. Typically, a 100nF ceramic capacitor.

VCC ─────┬──── IC VCC pin

[100nF]

GND ─────┴──── IC GND pin

Decoupling capacitors:

 Filter out high-frequency noise on the power line

 Provide instantaneous current when the IC switches states
 Prevent one chip’s noise from affecting other chips

DAY 15: WATER LEVEL CONTROL

A Water Level Control System is an automatic system used to maintain the water level in a
storage tank. It detects the water level using sensor probes and controls the water pump
through a relay. When the water level becomes
low, the relay switches the pump ON. When the tank is full, the relay switches the pump OFF
automatically. This system helps save water, electricity, and reduces manual effort.
A water level control system using a relay automatically switches a water
pump ON or OFF based on the water level in a tank. The relay acts as an electrically operated

level).
2. When the water level falls below the low-level sensor, the control circuit energizes the
relay.
3. The relay closes its contacts and switches the water pump ON to fill the tank.
4. As the water rises and reaches the high-level sensor, the control circuit de-energizes
the relay.
5. The relay opens its contacts, turning the water pump OFF to prevent overflow.
