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 Interrupt management o Timing o Analog / digital conversion o Serial interfaces
Learning activities and methodology
In each week one lecture session (master class) and one exercise-based 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, 4 practical sessions will be held, all of them in the laboratory. Several exercises will be proposed during de course to be solved individually by the students. Students will have the possibility of individual tutorials.
