This course is part of the area Fundamentals of electronics, which includes also the corresponding course in the second semester. Thus, the contents of Electronics Circuits are based on what the student has learned in this previous course. Also, it is advised that the student has also taken the course Signals and Systems I, as many of its proficiencies are required and its knowledge is assumed.
Electronic circuits covers the fundamentals of the materials employed in telecommunications and the most important electronic and photonic devices built employing them. From this concepts, the design of analog circuits will be studied. Also, some basic notions of electronic instrumentation and signal conditioning are included.
G2. Teamwork
G3. Self-directed learning
G7. Capacity to conceive, design, implement and operate systems and services in the field of TIC
CB2. That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional way and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated by developing and defending arguments and solving problems within their area of study
CB5. That students have developed the learning skills required to undertake further study with a high degree of autonomy
1.4 - Understanding and mastering the basics concepts of linear systems and related functions and transforms, electrical circuits theory , electronic circuits, physical principle of semiconductors and logic families, electronic devices and photonic devices, materials technology and its application to engineering problem solving.
At the end of the course the student will be capable of:
In the schedule prepared by the faculty, six hours per group are reserved weekly for the teaching of the course. Several of these hours (typically three or four hours weekly) are employed in the designated classroom, until completion of the planned theoretical classes (approximately 45 hours). During these sessions theoretical and participative lectures are included. Exercises solving sessions are alternated with the theoretical sessions to clarify the concepts studied. Exercises will be posed to the students to be solved autonomously, being its resolution a fundamental part for the correct assimilation of the theory.
The 15 hours of practical sessions in small groups will be devoted to experimental or simulation laboratory sessions where teamwork will be encouraged. These sessions are distributed along the semester and are included within the hours reserved by the faculty for the course.
Methodology - Activity | Presential Hours | Non-presential hours |
A1.- Theoretical classes/participatory classes. Problems resolution | 45 | |
A2.- Practical sessions in small groups | 15 | 8 |
A3.- Exercises solving | 25 | |
A4.- Study and autonomous student work | 59 | |
A5.- Evaluation activities | 6 | |
Total | 66 | 84 |
Learning outcomes | Evaluation system | Weight (%) | Possibility of resit |
1, 2, 5, 7 | Theoretical exams. At least a grade of 4 over 10 will be required to weight with the other evaluation activities. | 75% | yes |
1, 5, 6, 7 | Theoretical-practical exams. At least a grade of 4 over 10 will be required to weight with the other evaluation activities. | 25% | yes |
Ordinary evaluation
The ordinary evaluation consists of two different parts: two theoretical exams of the contents studied during the lectures and two theoretical-practical exams of the contents studied during the laboratory sessions. The first two theoretical and theoretical-practical exams will take place mid-semester and the other two will take place at the end of the semester. To pass the course a qualification superior to 40% is required in all the evaluation activities. These exams can be remedied.
The execution of the evaluation activities is subordinated to the assistance and participation in all the laboratory sessions. The unjustified absence to any laboratory session will suppose the automatic failure of the course
The exams will take place in the dates determined by ETSIIT.
Extraordinary evaluation
The ordinary evaluation consists of two theoretical exams and two theoretical-practical exams that will allow to the student the repetition of those parts not passed in the ordinary evaluation. The conditions and the format are similar to the ordinary evaluation exams.
The exams will take place in the dates determined by ETSIIT.
Lectures
Laboratory sessions
Five three-hours laboratory sessions are planned during the course where the most relevant applications of the course contents will be analyzed.
There will be 15h of experimental practice in the Basic Electronics Laboratory divided into 5 sessions:
1.- Integrators and derivators (3h)
2.- Comparators(3h)
3.- Multivibrators (3h)
4.- Non-ideal of the operational amplifier (3h)
5.- Transistor as an amplifier (3h)
The development of these practices will be subject to the health situation and will always be done in compliance with established health and safety regulations. If they cannot be carried out, these activities will be substituted with simulation activities.
