Basic analog and digital electronic circuits [ LELEC1530 ]

LELEC 1370 : Measurements and electrical circuits or equivalent

Identical to description

At the end of this course, the students will be able to:

• Understand how the basic components work: the diode, bipolar and MOS transistors
• Understand and simulate the basic  circuits of a 1-transistor amplifiers in the three basic configurations
• Understand the architecture of operational amplifiers (CMOS and bipolar OpAmps)  and the main building blocks
• Understand, simulate and synthesize CMOS logic gates in various styles
• Understand how the main types of memory work

Learning is based on courses with compulsory homework (SPICE circuit simulations) and exercises sessions

• Diode
• MOS and bipolar transistors
• 1-transistor amplifiers (bipolar and MOS), study of the three basic configurations
• Frequency response
• CMOS operational amplifier and the associated basic blocks (differential pair, current mirror, active load, frequency response)
• Bipolar operational amplifier and the associated basic blocks (differential pair, current mirror, active load, output stage, protection, frequency response)
• CMOS digital circuits: CMOS inverter
• Advanced CMOS digital circuits: pseudo-NMOS digital circuits, MOS pass transistors, dynamic MOS circuits
• Memories: latch, D flip-flop SRAM, DRAM, ROM, Flash
