Presentation of the subject

The Analog Electronics II subject is part of the Analog Electronic Systems subject. The purpose of the subject is to train the students of the Engineering Degree in Industrial and Automatic Electronics so that they are able to understand, interpret and perform calculations in the most conventional Analog Electronics circuits, made with operational amplifiers. It is also intended to train the student in the basic knowledge of passive and active filters. The subject relies heavily on the content developed in the subjects Analog Electronics I, Basic Electronics and Electrical Systems.

 

Contents

 

Content title 1: OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER.

Description

Physical constitution and principle of operation

Ideal operational amplifier

Non-ideal properties of operational amplifiers.

 

Content title 2: LINEAR APPLICATIONS OF THE OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER.

Description

Linear applications of operational amplifiers:

Adder.

Subtractor.

Adder-subtractor.

Voltage-current and current-voltage converters.

Differential instrumentation amplifier.

 

Content title 3: NON-LINEAR APPLICATIONS OF THE OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER.

Description

Nonlinear applications of operational amplifiers:

Comparator.

Schmitt trigger.

Rectifier.

Trimmer.

Logarithmic and antilogarithmic amplifier.

Analog multiplier and divider. Basic concepts of modulations

 

Content title 4: FILTERS.

Description

Filter concepts.

Gain and phase. Bode diagram.

Passive filters.

Active filters.

 

Content title 5: MULTIVIBRATOR CIRCUITS.

Description

Multivibrator circuit concept.

Stable and monostable.

Discrete multivibrators.

Integrated multivibrators.

oscillators

 

Activities and evaluation system

The final grade (QF) of the subject is calculated as follows:

QF = {(E1 + E2) / 2} 0,7 + P 0,2 + SP 0,1

E1, E2: Exams; P: Internships; SP: PSpice simulation. 

Minimum grades:

- Exams {(E1+E2)/2}: 4,0

- Practices: 5,0

It is mandatory to carry out all the activities of the subject and attend theory and practical classes, except in justified cases validated by the teacher.

In the event that any of the grades of the activities is below the corresponding minimum grade, the final grade of the course will be a maximum of 4,0.

There will be an extraordinary recovery session of the Ex activity for those students who have not passed the subject in the ordinary assessment. The grade of this recovery will replace that of the Ex activity within the assessment of the subject, provided that it is higher. P activities are not retrievable. In the event of carrying out the recovery session, the maximum final grade will be limited to 5. A minimum grade of 5 must be obtained in the recovery exam.
