Analog & Digital Electronics syllabus topics
The following topic groups come from the syllabus content included in this study hub. Consult the official GATE 2027 website for examination updates.
- Simple diode circuits: clipping, clamping, rectifiers;
- Amplifiers: biasing, equivalent circuit and frequency response;
- oscillators and feedback amplifiers;
- operational amplifiers: characteristics and applications;
- single stage active filters,
- Active Filters: Sallen Key, Butterworth,
- VCOs and timers,
- combinatorial and sequential logic circuits,
- multiplexers, demultiplexers,
- Schmitt triggers,
- sample and hold circuits,
- A/D and D/A converters.
How to prepare this subject
- Check topic coverage. Work through the groups above and mark unfamiliar concepts.
- Learn and practise. Study one relevant reference book, then solve worked examples without looking at the solutions.
- Apply concepts. Use GATE EE previous-year questions to assess where you need additional practice.
- Revise and test. Create a short formula or concept sheet and reattempt questions you initially missed.
