Content
The contributions of this module "Bases of Electronics" will be made through a lecture, and labworks. The understanding of the functioning of each component is supported by its semiconductor design aspect as well as by regular exercises and applications. - Introduction to the design of semiconductor components: technologies and manufacturing principles, doping, limits and constraints due to miniaturization, resources and energies needed, approach of micro and nanotechnologies. - Operation and use of diodes, LEDs and photodiodes, BIP and FET transistors, operational amplifier, DAC & ADC : structure, characteristic electrical quantities, thermal aspects (thermal Ohm's law and thermal limits), classical applications, PWM commands for switching components and use in concrete assemblies. - Reading and analysis of diagrams, identifications of the role of components and functions performed.

Assessment(s)
N°	Nature	Coefficient	Observable objectives
1	Written assessment of 2h30 often in 3 parts (3 modes of assessment): 1/ MCQ on semiconductor technologies 2/ A complete applied realization implementing the main components and functions 3/ A more targeted assembly on an AOP application (measurement, signal processing)	2	Apply the resolution methods adapted to different kind of schemas. Identify and describe the functions performed around AOP assemblies within a more complete assembly. Analyze assemblies integrating the operation of BIP or MOSFET transistors, DAC and ADC converters. Evaluate the thermal data of power components (BIP or MOSFET) in switching mode.
2	- Realization of 2 labworks session of 4 hours each as direct application of elements of the course and tutorials. - No report to be given to the teacher. The student is autonomous and responsible for taking personal notes of the applications and observations (each step, observation and analysis being taken up with the whole group). All of these elements are complements, illustrations, direct applications of several parts of chapters of the course. - Before each session, the student must carry out personal pre-work: reading part of the course, specific preparatory calculation. The session takes place step by step with summary points (analysis, readings, calculations, etc.) carried out with the whole group - The students are evaluated in pairs (except in dissociating cases) on their proactive "behaviour" during the practical work session: the points of these evaluations are presented at the first lesson session and a descriptive sheet is always left available to the students. A session takes place with a maximum of 18 students.	1	Make effective use of the means for measuring and observing electrical signals (multimeters and oscilloscope). Use of components and electronic functions in a complete wiring on a test board: direct manipulation of components, validation step by step until full implementation. Understanding the operation of a switching MOSFET: MLI control over R and L load, role of a free-wheeling diode, forms signals, dimensioning of the adapted dissipator. Identify and identify the characteristic signals of a real application montage in order to be able to describe exactly how it works.
