Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, implement and operate systems/solutions/software to address a complex problem in the field of electrical engineering as a source of information by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Based on modelling and experimentation, design one or more systems/solutions/software addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Implement a chosen system/solution/software in the form of a drawing, a schema, a flowchart, an algorithm, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model.
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out electrical engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to electrical engineering.
• Analyse and model a problem by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of electrical engineering.
• Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Argue to and persuade collaborators, clients, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.
• Select and use the written and oral communication methods and materials adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Master technical English in the field of electrical engineering.

Learning Outcomes of UE

understand the models of advanced electronic devices, understand and design basic analog blocks: differential amplifiers, output stages in CMOS and bipolar technology; assembling the building blocks for designing multi-stage amplifiers such as operational amplifiers; understand the imperfections of the operational amplifiers and their impacts in the application circuit, analyze the stability and frequency response of amplifiers; design more complex structures, designing analog circuits from specifications, learn analog microelectronics concepts.

Content of UE

multistage circuits with MOS and bipolar transistors; study of typical circuits with several transistors; frequency response of the amplifiers; devices noise and its impact in the amplifiers stages, mismatch, output stages; operational amplifiers internal circuits; types of feedback: PP, SS, PS, SP, stability and compensation of operational amplifiers; operational amplifiers synthesis method; analog microelectronics concepts, examples of complex analog systems.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1

• Presentation and works
• Oral examination
• Practical test
• Quoted exercices

Q1 UE Assessment Comments

Evaluation of laboratory works (laboratory sessions in groups of 3 students - report present in each session) and final laboratory examination (individual): 15% (average points per group and individual). Exercises examination (written examination - 3 hours): 50%. Oral examination (preparation 20 min closed book and 20 minute presentation): 35% Eventually the oral examination could be replaced by a team research project to defend during the examination session. In this case: Exercises examinations (written examination - 3 hours): 45%. Oral presentation: 40%.
