ETIA01

Credits: 8. Grading scale: TH. Cycle: G1 (First Cycle). Main field: Technology. Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish. ETIA01 overlaps following cours/es: ESS010, ETE022, ETE115, ETI116, ETI195 and ETI196. Compulsory for: D1. Course coordinator: Associate Professor Anders J Johansson, Anders.J.Johansson@eit.lth.se, Electrical and Information Technology. Assessment: Examination consists of laboratory work, lab reports and exams. Two re-exams each year are given, but the other elements are examined only during class, once a year. Grade is the result of the exam. Parts: 2. Home page: http://www.eit.lth.se/course/etia01.

Aim
The student should get an understanding for the basic of circuit theory and analysis, and the to this related electronic components. The student will be able to use this knowledge together with an introduction to the electronic components given in the course to be able to build simpler electronic circuits to interface with embedded systems. The student will also get an insight into embedded systems, and the interaction between software-hardware-interface electronics in such systems.

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

be able to describe fundamental circuit theory
understand the interaction between software-hardware-interface electronics

Skills and abilities
For a passing grade the student must

be able to analyze simple circuits
be able to describe laboratory experiments and results in a report
be able to perform electrical measurements in a professional manner
be able to design and analyze electronic circuits

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

be able to write a technical report of good quality
have acquired a good understanding of the field of engineering
be able to connect measurements with theory with measurement accuracy taken into account
have knowledge of the compromises necessary when implementing technology.

Contents
The course covers the fundamentals of circuit theory. It covers the basic circuit elements, signals in time and frequency, and transfer functions. This is applied on simple circuits and the basic electronic components. The theoretical knowledge is applied in the laboratory exercises, where here are used in work with the interfaces between a microcontroller and the world.
