To complete the basic skills acquired by the module of electronics (‘Elettronica’) of the three-year Degree in Industrial Engineering, with the addition of topics such as: the BJT, feedback, power amplification stages, selected two-element active stages, the precision rectifier. At the end of this class, students will be able to design advanced circuits using discrete components and operational amplifiers
Course Prerequisites
Knowledge of basic electronic devices and circuits: operational amplifiers, diodes, FETs, MOS-FETs and their analog applications. This course represents the completion of the module Elettronica (Electronics) of the course Elettronica per Ingegneria Industriale (Electronics for Industrial Engineering), to which it specifically refers.
Teaching Methods
The course includes classroom lessons where the theory of active elements and electronic circuits of the course is developed; classroom exercises where numerical examples are performed on analysis and synthesis of amplifiers and signal processing circuits with discrete elements and operational amplifiers; laboratory activities on circuits and CAD.
Assessment Methods
Oral exam to evaluate the candidate skills on the topics included in the course programme, The final score is out of thirty.
