Schedule

Schedule online

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

Diodes, bipolar junction transistors, and field-effect transistors. Diode circuits. Basic single stage amplifier configurations. Biasing devices and achieving thermal stability. Small-signal equivalent circuit models. Differential and multistage amplifiers. Frequency response. Basic components of an operational amplifier.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

To be able to explain the basic electronic devices and their functional behavior, to explain and use the elementary concepts that are necessary for analyzing analog electronic circuits.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Ex-cathedra sessions, exercice sessions (solving problems with a teaching assistant), numerical simulations of elementary circuits, laboratory sessions (compulsory).
The laboratory sessions are an integral part of the course unit and are thus considered as compulsory. The student who will not have participated to these activities will not be allowed to take his exam.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)

Face-to-face.

Recommended or required readings

Copies of the slides and written notes.

Assessment methods and criteria

1) Tests at the end of the lab sessions.
2) Written exam on the material seen in lectures, exercice sessions, and labs.
For the June session, the final note is calculated as follows:
- lab tests, 10 % - theory part of the written exam, 30 % - exercice part of the written exam, 60 %
For the September session, no lab is organized and the note associated with the lab tests is that obtained in June.
A first note is calculated on the basis of the September written exam only (33 % theory and 67 % exercice). A second note is calculated by including the lab tests (same basis as in June). The final note is the best of the two.
