Microelectronics

Course Objectives
For students to:

Understand how to approach analysis and design of circuits with nonlinear elements, including diodes, BJTs and MOSFETs, with an emphasis on design oriented analysis techniques.
Understand the principles of operation for pn junctions, semiconductor diodes, MOSFETs and BJTs, including intuition behind the physical meaning of device model parameters and limitations of models.
Understand how to analyze and design basic amplifier gain stages and digital logic gates using MOSFETs and BJTs.

Lab course
Practice using network simulators and emulators:

Theoretical part
The theoretical part comprises the two modules that follows:

the first part covers in a very brief approach the basic principles of classical Automatic Control Systems.
The second part is devoted to Industrial Automation Systems, focusing especially on industrial informatics and networking technologies, sensor networks, Machine2Machine and Internet of Things.

Laboratorial Part
The laboratorial part includes practical projects on the following issues:
