MECHATRONICS
Dr. Fakhre Alam Khan

What is Mechatronics?
• Mechatronics describes the synergistic
integration of mechanical , electronic ,
computer, and control systems.
2
APPLICATIONS (EXAMPLES) OF
MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS
• Industrial Robots: Chemical hazardous environment.
• Mobile Robots: Vacuum cleaning, Assisting soldiers in combat
operations, or Delivering food and medicine (recently in Chinese) in
hospitals.
• Scanner: Image converts into computer readable format.
• Parking Gate: Sensor controlled motor
operated gate. 3
Why Do Electronic Systems Matter
4
Active and Passive Electronics
to conduct etc
e.g to conduct
5
Resistors
R directly prop to D
6
Resistors (why do we need ?)
1. Limit current flow (most of the times)
2. Divide voltage (sometimes)
7
Resistors (value)
How to evaluate resistance
of a resistor?
Resistance values are indicated
by color bands.
What is the resistance of this
Resistor?
8
Capacitors
Capacitance normally in F or pF.
Farad (large unit of capacitance).
That’s why capacitance is given
in F or pF.
Types:
1) Polarized
2) Non‐Polarized 9
Capacitors
Non‐Polarized:
Polarized:
11
Capacitors (value)
Capacitance for smaller capacitors are
normally in pF.
If there are 2 numbers, then value is in pF.
If there are 3 numbers, then use 3rd digit as
multiplier 10x. (where x is 3rd digit)
If 3rd digit is “8” divide by “100” and if “9” then
by “10”.
A Letter code normally indicates tolerance as
shown in table.
12
Inductors
Stores energy as magnetic field..
13
Inductors (why do we need ?)
14
Inductors (value)
Small inductors values are in microHenry (H)
If there are 2 numbers, then value is in H.
If there are 3 numbers, then use 3rd digit as
multiplier 10x. (where x is 3rd digit)
If 3rd digit is “8” divide by “100” and if “9” then
by “10”.
If “R” appears in value, it shows decimal point
and there is no multiplier.
A Letter code normally indicates tolerance as
shown in table. 15
Passive Electronics (Circuits Analysis)
Simple equations allow us to determine, rate at which energy
is being:
1. Stored
2. Dissipated
16
Passive Electronics (Circuits Analysis)
1) Electron Flow (Classical Theory) Benjamin Franklin
(1750):
Electricity as an invisible fluid that flows from area of
excess charge (positive) to an area of deficiency
(negative) of charge.
2) Electron Flow (Modern Theory):
Benjamin Franklin (1750) guessed incorrectly.
Electrons flow from negative charge to positive charge.
For most circuits analysis, this is immaterial.
For semiconductor theory analysis, we need to
recognize true direction of electrons flow. 17

Circuit Analysis
Cutoff Frequency:
System's frequency response at which energy
flowing through the system begins to be reduced
(attenuated or reflected) rather than passing through.
Magnitude Gain:
The ratio of output signal to input signal.
Phase Shift:
Normally pure resistor voltage and current in in‐phase.
In case of inductor or capacitor, the signal are out‐of‐phase due to
impedance (due to imaginary component (j) of their resistance.)
