Base Knowledge
Basic knowledge of semiconductor devices.
Circuit analysis techniques.
Teaching Methodologies
Theorethical: Presentation with slides and whiteboard, interacting as much as possible with the students.
Practical/Laboratory: Problem solving plus experimental lab works with technical report.
Learning Results
Goals
Know and understand the functioning of the various semiconductor devices and its application in medium to high complexity electronic systems.
Analysis and design of electronic circuits in medium to high complexity is also a goal to achieve.
Skills
Understand and interpret technical specifications of the components used in electronic circuits.
Know, analyze, design and implement analog electronic circuits of medium to high complexity, namely: oscillators, DC power sources, linear and non-linear systems based on Operational Amplifiers and composite amplifiers (differential and push-pull).
Use simulation tools (Spice).
Know and use correctly test and measurement equipment.
Develop the ability to do group work and to write technical reports
