Aim of the course is to introduce the operation of analog circuits in integrated electronics and their applications.
Operational amplifiers will be introduced and their applications studied. The principles of operation and characteristics of digital electronic devices will be illustrated and the tools for the analysis and design of combinational and sequential logic digital circuits will be provided.

--Attendance
Attendance is not mandatory but recommendedType of evaluation
Students are evaluated with two alternative modalities (each student can choose their preferred evaluation method): a. Three intermediate written tests and one final oral exam. Each test is evaluated on a 0-30 scale. Final evaluation accounts for the marks obtained in both the written and oral tests. b. One written exam and one oral exam. The written exam is evaluated on a 0-30 scale; a mark equal or grater than 18 is required to access the oral exam. Final evaluation accounts for the marks obtained in both the written and oral exams.
