This course covers the fundamentals of electronic technology in order to deepen the understanding of electronic devices that are part of the technologies that surround us.
In particular, the course is oriented to the applications of the electronic components in physical measurements.
The aim of the course is to provide students ability to:
1. Identify the applications and functions of electronics in Physics.
2. Recognize basic electronic components and devices used for different electronic functions.
3. Be able to use basic techniques for analyzing analogue and digital electronic circuits.
4. Be able to manage the tools in a basic electronics laboratory.

Course Syllabus
Fundamental concepts in electronics applied to measurements. Introduction of theory of solid state electronics including semiconductor physics, diodes, BJT, MOSs. Fundamental of amplifiers and principles of feedback. Applications of operational amplifiers. Fundamental topics on digital electronics and application of logical gate.
The lectures are complemented by laboratory exercises (with compulsory attendance).
The purpose of the laboratory exercises is to give students hands-on experience to allow them to test electronic components who have studied during lectures. Students will be required to carry out the laboratory exercises and collect their data and present a written report. The report must be submitted within the following week for evaluation.
List of laboratory exercises
Direct measurement of the speed of light
Applications of circuits with diodes
Determination of Planck’s constant using Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
Exercises with operational amplifiers
Exercises with BJT and MOS
Applications of Logical gates
Exam Modalities
The exam consists of an oral exam on the theoretical aspects discussed in class and a critical analysis of the various laboratory exercises.
