| Practice 1: Circuit simulation |
The goal of this practice is to introduce the Autodesk Tinkercad electronic circuit simulation software to carry out assemblies with digital electronic elements focused on solving basic engineering problems. This software will be used to complement the laboratory assemblies during practice sessions 3 to 6, allowing a first contact in a more accessible and simple way before transferring the simulated scheme to the real prototype.

| Practice 2: Digital Electronics |
This practice introduces the student to digital combinational circuits by assembling basic circuits within a protoboard. |
| Practice 3: Basic electronic circuits with operational amplifiers |
The goal of this practice is introducing the closed-loop operation of these types of amplifiers, by assembling different circuits within a protoboard. |
| Practice 4: Basic electronic circuits with diodes |
This practice shows the student different circuits for diodes (rectifiers, trimmers, ...), by assembling them in a protoboard and testing them with different input signals. |
| Practice 5: Basic electronic circuits with transistors |
This practice shows basic circuits with transistors (mainly BJT) in order to show the polarization concepts shown in theory. |
| Practice 6: Multistage amplifier design |
This practice tries to merge all the concepts learned during the course for analog devices by designing a simple multistage amplifiers conformed by a small-signal amplifiers followed by one (or more) stages of high power amplifiers (wit op-amps). |
| Practice 7: Laboratory evaluation test |
This is a test where the ability acquired by the student for the simulation and assembly of electronic circuits and the verification of its operation with the instruments used in the practices will be evaluated. The test will consist of two parts: the first one will be dedicated to the simulation in the Tinkercad program, and the second will consist of the assembly and validation of a proposed electronic circuit, which will include various components treated during the rest of the laboratory sessions.
