Objectives
THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY TOOLS FOR THE ANALYSIS AND DIMENSIONING OF CIRCUITS OF MEDIUM COMPLEXITY USED IN LINEAR APPLICATIONS. THE TEACHING ACTIVITY CONSISTS OF NUMERICAL EXERCISES AND PRACTICAL LABORATORY WORK, BEING THIS LATTER AIMED TO ACCUSTOM THE STUDENT TO THE USE OF SOFTWARE/HARDWARE TOOLS FOR THE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF SIMPLE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARDS.
Prerequisites
FOR THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF OBJECTIVES THE STUDENT MUST SATISFY THE FOLLOWING PREREQUISITES:- BASIC MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE, ESPECIALLY, OF SOLVING METHODS OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND APPLYING THE LAPLACE TRANSFORM;- KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING;- KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF AUTOMATIC CONTROL;- KNOWLEDGE OF THE SMALL-SIGNAL MODELS OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES.
Contents
- FEEDBACK ANALYSIS: ANALYSIS METHODS OF FEEDBACK SINGLE-LOOP TOPOLOGIES; STABILITY ANALYSIS.-FREQUENCY ANALYSIS: ANALYSIS OF THE PERFORMANCE OF CIRCUITS IN DOMINO'S TIME; HARMONIC ANALYSIS OF CIRCUITS.- ELECTRONIC INTEGRATED: CURRENT MIRRORS; ACTIVE LOAD CONFIGURATIONS ; CURRENT GENERATOR REFERENCE; REFERENCE VOLTAGE GENERATOR; DIFFERENTIAL PAIR.- OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS: INTERNAL STRUCTURE; FREQUENCY COMPENSATION; BENEFITS AND LIMITATIONS.- - NONLINEAR CIRCUITS: IDEAL DIODES ; CONVERTERS A/D AND D/A; ASTABLE AND MONOSTABLE CIRCUITS; WAVEFORM GENERATORS.
Teaching Methods
TEACHING IS MADE UP OF THEORETICAL LESSONS, EXERCISES IN THE CLASSROOM AND PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES IN LABORATORY.DURING THE ACTIVITY IN THE CLASSROOM THE STUDENTS WILL BE CALLED UPON TO SOLVE A NUMBER OF EXERCISES ON ARGUMENTS TREATED IN THE COURSE. THE LABORATORY ACTIVITIES WILL BE AIMED AT SIZING, FITTING AND CHARACTERIZING CIRCUITS WITH GIVEN PERFORMANCES. THE ACTIVITIES WILL BE HELD BY GROUPING THE STUDENTS IN SMALL TEAMS IN ORDER TO BUILD-UP THEIR CAPACITY TO WORK IN TEAM.
Verification of learning
THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES WILL BE ASSESSED THROUGH A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW, BOTH AIMED TO JUDGE THE DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF SUBJECTS, THE ABILITY TO APPLY, THE CRITICAL SPIRIT SHOWN BY THE STUDENT WHEN DEALING WITH THE ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS ANALYSIS AND, FINALLY, THE CLARITY OF EXPOSURE. TO PASS THE WRITTEN EXAM, THE STUDENT MUST DEMONSTRATE TO HAVE UNDERSTOOD THE MAIN CONCEPTS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE AND BE ABLE TO APPLY THE METHODS OF ANALYSIS, BY AGREEING TO QUANTITATIVE SOLUTIONS. THE EVALUATION OF THE SCRIPT, WHICH WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT BOTH THE ACCURACY OF THE ANALYSIS AND THE EXHIBITION QUALITY, WILL COVER THE CATEGORIES "GOOD, FAIR AND SUFFICIENT", WHICH ALLOW THE STUDENT TO ACCESS THE ORAL TEST, WHILE THE "WHOLLY INADEQUATE" CATEGORY WILL PREVENT THE ADMISSION, THUS RETURNING THE “THE WRITTEN TEST” WITH THE NOTATIONS OF DEFICIENCIES MANIFESTED. FOR A BETTER GRADUATION OF JUDGMENT ON WRITTEN TESTS THAT ARE ON THE BORDERLINE OF "SUFFICIENCY", THE "INSUFFICIENT" CATEGORY CAN BE USED WHICH GRANTS A "CONDITIONAL" ADMISSION. IN THIS CASE, THE MAXIMUM SCORE ACHIEVABLE IS LIMITED TO 20/30. THE RESULTS OF THE WRITTEN TESTS, WITH AN INDICATION OF THE ADMISSION CATEGORY, WILL BE PUBLISHED IN THE ESSE3 SECTION OF TEACHING, BY INCLUDING THE TIME AND THE CLASSROOM FOR CONDUCTING THE ORAL EXAM. ON THAT OCCASION, THE COMMISSION CAN RETURN TO ALL STUDENTS COPY OF THE WRITTEN PAPER, WITH MARKED ERRORS AND SOME SOLUTION SUGGESTIONS.THE ORAL EXAM WILL ASSESS A) THE MATURITY ON THE ARGUMENTS B) THE QUALITY OF ORAL PRESENTATION C) THE CRITICAL SPIRIT WITH WHICH THE STUDENT DEALS WITH TOPICS D) THE JUDGMENT AND) THE ACCURACY OF SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE. THE FINAL VOTE, OUT OF THIRTY, WILL ACCOUNT FOR THE DEGREE OF ACHIEVEMENT OF THE PREVIOUS REQUIREMENT AND FOR POSSIBLE RESTRICTIONS RESULTING FROM WRITTEN TEST. PRAISE WOULD OCCUR IN THE CASE OF WRITTEN TEST ASSESSED AT LEAST DECENT AND ORAL EXAMINATION WHIC FULLY SATISFIES THE PREVIOUS CRITERIA.
