Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Mathematics, including Algebra, complex analysis and differential equations. Basic knowledge of Physics, namely Electromagnetism.
Objectives
Understand the specifications and the operation of the most important electronic circuits and systems.
Program
1 - Introduction to electronic systems: signal representation; types of systems (linear, nonlinear, open loop, closed loop). 2 - DC circuits: electric current; voltage; resistance and Ohm's law; power, energy; voltage and current sources; capacitors and inductances; Kirchhoff's Laws. 3 - AC circuits: reactance, phasors and complex numbers; series and parallel circuits. 4 - Amplification and feedback: gain, frequency response, input and output impedance; operational amplifiers - characteristics, parameters, circuits. 5 - Electronic devices: diodes, bipolar transistors and MOSFET. 6 - Digital electronics: logical levels and noise margins, propagation delay, rise and fall times, fan-out and fan-in, power consumption; TTL and CMOS families. 7 - Power sources: batteries; unregulated and regulated sources; switched sources; specifications.
