The Department of Physics successfully conducted a 2-Day Hands-On Workshop on ADI LTspice® and Pocket Lab on 11th and 12th July 2025, at the Prasanthi Nilayam Campus, in collaboration with Analog Devices (ADI) as the Knowledge Partner.
The workshop was aimed at equipping participants with practical skills in analog circuit simulation using ADI LTspice® and sensor interfacing with ADI Pocket Lab. It saw enthusiastic participation from across academia, drawing 74 registered participants comprising undergraduate and postgraduate students, research scholars, and faculty members from various institutions. The hands-on format and application-oriented sessions created a dynamic and engaging learning environment.
Highlights of the Workshop
The workshop featured expert-led sessions delivered by facilitators from Analog Devices, ensuring that the content was both technically sound and industry-relevant.
Day 1 was dedicated to LTspice® simulation techniques, where participants learned the fundamentals of circuit drafting, signal chain and frequency response analysis, as well as advanced simulation methods such as Monte Carlo analysis and the use of the LTPower Analyzer. These sessions laid a strong foundation for analog circuit modeling and analysis.
Day 2 transitioned into the domain of embedded systems using the ADI Pocket Lab platform, focusing on sensor interfacing and real-time data acquisition. Participants explored concepts such as ADC architecture, interpretation of datasheets, and practical implementation of experiments using multi-sensor boards. The sessions were thoughtfully designed to bridge theoretical concepts with practical skills in analog system design and embedded hardware applications.
The workshop also facilitated interactive learning through live demonstrations, guided experimentation, and one-on-one mentoring. It served as a platform to connect academic learners with cutting-edge tools and practices used in the industry, marking a significant step toward strengthening experiential learning and academia–industry collaboration at SSSIHL.
The feedback received from participants was overwhelmingly positive. Attendees appreciated the depth and clarity of the technical content, the seamless coordination of the sessions, and the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with industry-grade tools. Many participants highlighted that the workshop helped demystify complex topics through clear explanations and well-structured exercises.
