Prerequisites
Basic theory of passive linear networks. Principles of electrical engineering.
Learning outcomes
This module is focused on the main analog linear and non-linear applications of junction diodes, field effect transistors and operational amplifiers. Moreover, it offers a basic knowledge of MOS logical families and digital circuits. The final goal of the course is to teach the students how to analyze and perform measurements on analog circuits, and the design of simple circuits with op-amps and discrete MOS devices.
Course contents
The course of Electronics for Industrial Engineering includes two modules: Electronics (prof. Annovazzi Lodi) and Static energy conversion (prof. Dallago).
The first module, described here, is an introduction to linear and non-linear analog electronics, and to digital electronics.
