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.
Content
- Diode
- Bipolar and MOS transistors
- One-transistor amplifiers (bipolar and MOS), study of three basic configurations
- Frequency response
- Operational amplifier in CMOS and its basic building blocks (differential pair, current mirrors, active load, frequency response)
- Operational amplifierwith bipolar transistors and its basic building blocks (differential pair, current mirrors, active load, frequency response)
- Digital Circuits:
- Abstraction for digital electronics
- Basic circuits (CMOS inverter, logic gates)
- Sequential and combinational locig
- Mémories: latch, D Flip-flop SRAM, DRAM, ROM, Flash
- Simple micro-architectures and elementary processors
Teaching methods
Learnig is based on lectures, mantarory personal homeworks (SPICE simulation and practical experiments on circuits) and exercise sessions.
Evaluation methods
An oral or written exam (depending on the session) will be organized, in addition to a possible ongoing evaluation. Works on Moodle or Gradescope are compulsory and individual. They count for 4 points in the final mark of the January and August exams. The mark obtained for the works cannot be changed for the August session.
On-going evaluation works lead to a unique global mark. The non-respect of methodological guidelines, as defined on moodle, in particular with regards to personal production or fraud, for any work leads to a global mark of 0 for the on-going evaluation part.
