With the advances taking place in VLSI/ ASIC design using high performance front end and back end tools, the Electronic circuit design and Analysis learning (practice of theory) in the formative years of Engineering Education must undergo a quantum jump. The conventional method of “dedicated “ Instruments and fixed set of measurements and analysis will not stand good for an engineer to explore the domains of modern circuit Analysis and Synthesis. UE-AMALED provides a platform for development of easy–to-Configure and easy-to-Measure and Analyze tool using the computer systems, in which performance ever-evolving and cost-ever-reducing.
UE-AMALED will provide a complete in-depth knowledge of Device Characteristics in different configurations and also help student to architect different combination based on the expectation of the overall characteristics to the student.
UE-AMALED modules supports interface to a Computer system, which provides a higher end resources and facilities to acquire the parameters from a typical circuitry, analyze the measurements to provide a deceivable characteristics and present the same to enable a designer or a fabricator to alter or modify the circuit elements.
