In-depth study of electronic circuits

Description

Objectifs

At the end of this module, the student will have understood and be able to explain (main concepts) :
- The electrical characteristics of diodes and transistors.
- The concept of static biasing and the principle of small signal behaviour around the bias point.
- The different amplification classes for transistors based circuits.
- The concepts of low and high frequency modelling in order to design advanced functional circuits.

The student will be able to:
- Design and realise a bias circuit which is well adapted to a given function.
- Extract the equivalent small signal scheme suited for low or high frequency signal analysis.
- Recognize and implement the basic circuitry such as differential amplification, current generators and mirrors.
- Know how to use an electrical circuit simulator and the suited models of active components as well as their limitations.
- Know how to build an amplifying and filtering chain with a view to integration.
- Conceive circuits especially adapted to sensors.
- Conceive a power amplifying stage taking into account the power dissipation.

Pré-requis
