| Target skills and knowledge: | Assimilation of analog and digital electronics foundations.
Ability to decode an analog and digital circuits by finding their main functional blocks. Basic ability to draw analog circuits. Basic ability to draw digital circuits on programmable logic devices. |
| Examination methods: | Oral exam |
| Assessment criteria: | The criteria for the evaluation of the oral test take into account the correctness of contents, arguing clarity and critical analysis |
| Course unit contents: | Part I. ELECTRONICS AND ANALOG INSTRUMENTATION
1. Review: Basic analog electronic 2. Review: Feedback 3. Operational Amplifiers (Real, Freq. Behavior) - Linear and non-linear Applications 4. Generation of signals and oscillators - Power supplies - Voltage / current reference generators - Oscillators 5. Noise and analog signal recovery - Noise in electronic circuits (analogue) (noise and power spectrum, types of noise (thermal, shot, 1 / f), noise in devices (transistors, op.amp.), ENC calculation, feedback effect on noise) - Low noise amplifiers (Radeka amplifier → charge amplifier, other front-end amplifiers → Noise in transimpedance ampli.) - Analog Filters and Signal Recovery Techniques (Approximation and Implementation, Switched Capacitor Filters, Frequency/Time Domain Filters) - Signal Recovery Techniques (shaping for "energy" or "timing" and optimum filters, Lock-in, signal media, matched filters, mixing) PART II. DIGITAL ELECTRONICS, DIGITAL DEVICES, CONVERSION AD / DA 6. Inverters and logic port families (TTL, ECL, MOS, ...) - Inverters and logic ports (logic port function, bipolar/MOS inverters, inverters and ports TTL, ECL, MOS) - fundamental circuits (combinatorial and sequential operations, flip-flop multiplexers, adder, shift registers, memories) 7. Convert A/D and D/A - Instruments (z-transform) and noise (quantization noise) - Digital-to-Analogue (Nyquist rate converters, DAC based on Resistors / Capacitors / Current sources) - Analogue-to-Digital (Nyquist rate converters, time accuracy, ADC Flash, two-step, interpolating, successive approximations, samplers) - Some conversion circuits in detail (sample & hold, switched emitter followers, ...) - Oversampling → sigma-delta - Signal Processing and Digital Filtering Techniques - Examples of measurements of time and space 8. Complements - Microprocessors, Microcontrollers and FPGAs - Data Bus 9. Digital Laboratory → Introduction to VHDL |
