Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
Programming, Linear Algebra, Calculus II, Physics II
- Knowing the purpose and operation of analog and digital electronic systems - Managing basic electronic instrumentation equipment and performing measurements with them - How to analyze, build and apply basic electronic functions. - Using CAD tools to calculate and design circuits, as well as to recognize the elements of an electronic circuit and its function within a scheme. - Analysis of a computer-based digital electronic system, describing both the basic components that make up the system and the programming techniques required to comply with functional specifications. - Managing integrated development environments for programming of computer-based digital systems
Description of contents: programme
Introduction to the course Block I: Fundamentals of analog electronics - Theorems of electrical circuits. - Sources of tension and currents - Passive components: R, C, L - Laboratory instrumentation and electronic signal measurements. - Frequency response - Electronic components - Sensors and actuators Block II: Fundamentals of digital electronics and microcontrollers - Digital representation of information - Basic components of digital electronics - Digital systems based on microcontrollers - Fundamentals of programming in C - Peripherals of a microcontroller o I / O Ports o Timing o Analog / digital conversion o Serial interfaces
Learning activities and methodology
In each week one lecture session (master class) and one practical session (in reduced groups) will be taught. The first is geared to the acquisition of theoretical knowledge, and the second to the acquisition of practical skills related to theoretical concepts. In addition to these sessions, 6 laboratory practical sessions will be held, where students will work in teams of two students. Several exercises will be proposed along de course to be solved individually by the students. Students will have the possibility of individual tutorials.
