Electronic bases of computer science [ LSINF1140 ]

> https://moodleucl.uclouvain.be/course/view.php?id=4333

• Fundamental laws of electricity electrostatics, magnetism
• Electrical circuits (Sources, Kirchhoff laws, ...)
• Simulation of electrical circuits using appropriate software (eg Spice)
• MOS transistor
• Logic gates and their implementation in MOS (combinational circuits and sequential circuits based)
• memory points (SRAM, DRAM, Flash)

Given the learning outcomes of the "Bachelor in Engineering" program, this course contributes to the development, acquisition and evaluation of the following learning outcomes:

• S1.G4
• S2.2, S2.4

Students completing this course successfully will be able to

• explain the basic laws of electricity and electrical circuits
• solve simple electrical circuits using wisely the fundamental laws
• simulate simple circuits using a software and interpret the results
• characterize simple electrical circuits by explaining their operation
• explain the operation of the MOS transistor as a logic switch
• describe, from the combination of MOS transistors, the opering and implementation of basic logic gates and the main memory points

The methods of assessment are defined on the course website on Moodle.

This course assume you get basic knowledge in physics and mathematics from secondary school.
