Aims

At the end of the course, the students will be able to :
- calculate DC, transient, periodic and frequency responses of circuits with resistors, capacitors and inductors,
- understand and describe the behavior of basic electronic components (diodes, MOS and bipolar circuits),
- use their knowledge of transistor responses to understand basic electronic circuits and comute their DC and transient responses
- design simple electronic circuits based on operational amplifiers,
- understand the principles of analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters,
- make electrical measures with standard measurement devices like oscilloscopes and multimeters
