Prerequisites

The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
The course is based on an intuitive approach of the operating principles of electronic digital and analog. Collages of circuits will also be made to understand the phenomena studied. An introduction to programming will also be proposed as part of the course. In the field of analog electronics, we consider the main passive components (resistors, capacitors, diodes, etc..), The active components (transistors, operational amplifiers, instrumentation amplifiers, etc. ...), physical sensors ( force, acceleration, pressure, displacement, temperature, etc.).. Digital electronics, we will address Boolean logic and binary calculations, as well as the operation of logic gates and flip-flops, micro-controllers and PCs. The course will also include an introduction to programming.
Aims

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

1 The aim of the course is to give the student a sufficient background in the field of analog and digital electronics and programming so that it can (1) to understand the operating principles of equipment used in physiotherapy (such as biofeedback, the electromyogram, isokinetic devices, etc..) and / or (2) designing simple assistive technology for people with disabilities.
 

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”.
Content
In parallel with theoretical lessons there are exercises done with a test, voltmeter and oscilloscope. Same for programming.
