Main themes
  • 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)
Aims

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 contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.

Evaluation methods

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

Other information
