Learning outcomes Analyze linear and non linear circuits using the circuit analysis laws and use electronic devices. Discuss the integration of these electronic devices and circuits in sensing processes, data acquisition systems and measurement of electrical signals in the context of biomedical sciences. Discuss the origin of bio-potential signals. Identify the theoretical and technological aspects involved in the implementation of digital circuits. At the end of the Curricular Unit, the student should be able to identify electronic devices, passive and active, analog and digital, in an electronic circuit, describe its operation - analysis and synthesis skills - and discuss its applications in biosciences. Implement of low complexity analog and digital circuits. Use electronic laboratory equipment to measure, generate and visualize electrical signals: power supplies, multimeter, signal generator, oscilloscope.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Theoretical classes for exposition and development of the syllabus, followed by problem solving and discussion of application examples.
Laboratory classes (PL) to carry out experimental works with practical application of the theory exposed in the lectures. In laboratory classes, students use EDA tools to capture and simulation of analog and digital circuits, that, then they will implement on breadboard and use electronics laboratory equipment to test the circuit. The proposed assignments allow the students to understand some practical problems inherent to its implementation and analysis. At the end of each laboratory assignment the students will have to write a report.
Written Assessment (80%): two written tests (1st test – Analog Electronics 60%; 2nd test - Digital Electronics 40%) or Exam
Laboratory Assessment (20%): continuous
Final Grade= 80% (60% Analog Electronics + 40% Digital Electronics) + 20% Laboratory
Minimum Grade: Analog Elec. - 8.0; Digital Elec. - 8.0; Lab. - 10
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
