Design and Architecture of analog electronic systems [ LELEC2532 ]

> https://moodleucl.uclouvain.be/enrol/index.php?id=934

In the ELEC et ELME masters, after the course LELEC2531 oriented on digital electronics, and in parallel with the project of electronics system realization (LELEC2103) and before the courses of integrated circuit synthesis (2^nd year ofMs), this course LELEC2532 sytudies the main analog circuits and systems used in the global fonctionality of an embedded system. The component families, their implementations and factors of merit are defined and compared.

Contribution of the course to the program objectives (N°)

Axe 1 (1.1, 1.2, 1.3), Axe 2 (2.3), Axe 3 (3.1), Axe 5 (5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6), Axe 6 (6.1, 6.3, 6.4)

Specific learning outcomes of the course

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

• discover the main classes of analog electronics circuits such as operational amplifiers, voltage references, D/A and A/D converters, oscillators, filters, phase locked loops, memories etc'
• analyze their architecture, understand their behavior, and determine, compute and simulate their characteristics

The evaluation consists of, on one hand, the presentation of a chapter of the 1^st part of the course (theory, exercices, simulations) prepared by a group of 4 students (30 min. each) on the basis of the book by S. Baker and personal examples, and on the other hand, a written exam on the 2^nd part of the course (theory and related exercices)

Based on standard classes, inverted classes and practical exercice sessions.
