Credits/ECTS :  
"licencié" in physical sciences, 1st year6
Holder(s) :  
Language :  Langue française
Course contents :  The course is intended to give a overview of electronic fundamentals, data acquisition and analyzing techniques to students in physics. It describes also the working principles of modern instrumentations.
Course objective :  1.- Brief introduction to solid state physics (semiconductor)
2.- Diodes and transistors (bipolar & FET) (Practical circuits are build and analyzed.)
3.- The operational amplifier and the feed-back principle
4.- Non linear circuitry (comparator, trigger, oscillator)
5.- Digital electronic : introduction to logic
6.- Static circuit (gates- Addler, PAL, etc...)
7.- Clocked circuit (flip-flop, shift register, memory, etc...)
8.- Converters (DAC, ADC)
9.- Microprocessor fundamentals
10.- Data acquisition and analysis (with applications)
11.- Transducers
12.- Noise reduction and digital signal analysis
13.- Description of modern laboratory instruments (SQID, STM, GPS, etc...)
Prerequisites :  2 years of basic physics (bachelor)
Workshops :  12 laboratory sessions where the concepts studied are applied.
Organization :  The schedule of the course is availlable on the web pages of the U.Lg.
Written notes :  Documents used during the teaching are available. (cf. http://www.ulg.ac.be/ipne/info - username "info" ; password "ok").
