This module provides the theoretical and experimental basis for understanding, analyzing and designing electronic circuits and electronic systems that make use of bipolar, field-effect transistors, and operational amplifiers. Moreover, experimental aspects will be addressed by lab sessions in which simple circuits will be simulated, assembled and tested.
Providing the necessary elements to tackle the problems related with the design and testing of electronic devices and circuits Comprehend the different issues related to the development of electronic circuits including circuit design, implementation methodologies and lab testing, Develop simple projects starting from given specifications.
The teaching unit aims to provide the student with the knowledge and operational skills necessary to address problems related to the study, design and testing of simple electronic systems with particular attention to analog ones. The student will be able to: 1. Understand the methods of analysis, design, development and experimental verification of electronic circuits. 2. Develop hardware projects starting from assigned specifications, build them, verify their functionality and performance in the laboratory and, finally, draw up the related documentation.
It is advisable to have taken the exams in Circuit Theory and Electronics.
Classroom lectures
Laboratory sessions: creation of sample circuits in groups (preferably with two students) drafting a summary report (to be assessed during the exam).
Students with valid certifications for Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs), disabilities or other educational needs are invited to contact the teacher and the School's contact person for disability at the beginning of teaching to agree on possible teaching arrangements that, while respecting the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning patterns. Contacts of the teacher and the School's disability contact person can be found at the following link Comitato di Ateneo per l’inclusione delle studentesse e degli studenti con disabilità o con DSA | UniGe | Università di Genova
The program will be divided into the following main topics:
Since Electronics constitutes the main "discipline" on which the development of information technologies (ICT) in recent decades and will be so for the future has been based, training expert electronic engineers will allow society to possess the necessary knowledge to the application of these technologies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda.
As an example, we can mention the development of advanced and low-cost systems for:

Written exam and lab reports.
Students with valid certifications for Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs), disabilities, or other educational needs are invited to contact the teacher and the DITEN contact person for disability to agree on the possible use of specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis, according to the University regulation for the inclusion and right to study of students with disabilities or specific learning disorders.
A written examination is scheduled: moreover, experimental lab sessions concerning the design, simulation and testing of electronic circuits are reported.
