101312 - ANALOG ELECTRONICS I

Subject type: Mandatory

Coordinator: Julián Horrillo Tello

Trimester: First term

Credits: 4

The subject of Analog Electronics I is part of the subject Analog Electronic Systems. The purpose of the course is to train students in 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 discrete components. It is also intended to provide the student with basic knowledge of electronic component technology. The subject is very strongly supported by the contents developed in the first year subject Electrical Systems. It should be noted that Analog Electronics can be considered the basis from which all other electronic disciplines are developed.

This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.

The Tecnocampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.

1. Identifies and applies linear models of electronic components.
2. Analyze electronic circuits with diodes and transistors.
3. Design amplifier and switching circuits.
4. Learn how linear power supplies work.

The subject consists of 3 hours a week of face-to-face classes in the classroom and 1 hour a week (2 hours / fortnight) of laboratory practices. Classroom work will be based on classes where the teacher will explain the theoretical concepts, problem solving and, occasionally, the collaborative resolution of exercises by students. He will also introduce the practices, which will be developed in small groups in the laboratory.

The internship sessions will be compulsory and will be carried out in groups of 15-20 students, divided into work teams of 2-3 students who will perform the work indicated in the corresponding internship script, in the Control and Electronics laboratory.

It is programmed outside the classroom the realization of a work of simulation of circuits or resolution of problems of the asignatura by part of the students.

Students will also have to dedicate additional time, non-contact, to the resolution of exercises, preparation of reports of laboratory practices and preparation of the written test.

With the aim of gathering evidence of the achievement of the learning outcomes essential to pass the subject, the following evaluative activities will be carried out:

Rules for carrying out the activities

All the information on the activities to be carried out will be published on the campus.

For each activity, information will be provided on the regulations to be followed and the particular conditions that govern them, sufficiently in advance.

In the written test, a form will be provided, if applicable. The student will only need writing utensils and a calculator.

Each of the laboratory practices will need a report (made by the group), which will be delivered to the teacher, in general, at the end of the practice session. The report will be evaluated and within approximately one week. Eventually, a preliminary report must be submitted at the beginning of the internship.

The work will be announced and organized at the beginning of the course, with the forecast of delivery at the end of the course.

Deliveries will not be accepted outside the established deadlines or through unforeseen means, except in cases of force majeure.

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

QF = Ex 0,6 + P 0,2 + T 0,2

Minimum grades:

Ex: 4,0

P: 5,0

T: 5,0

In the event that the grade for the Ex activity is below the corresponding minimum grade, the final grade for the subject will be limited to 4,0.

In the event that any of the grades for the P and T activities is below the corresponding minimum grade, the final grade for the subject will be limited to 5,0.

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 qualification of this recovery will substitute to the one of the activity Ex inside the evaluation of the asignatura, whenever it is upper. P and T activities are not recoverable. In case of the recovery session, the final grade will be limited to 6,9.
