Your daily life

At the heart of Saint Quentin en Yvelines, the Elancourt site is one of Thales's most important technological centers of excellence. The diversity and technicality of the systems and equipment mobilize expertise in more than 80 professions in defense, high-tech security, and digital services solutions.

This internship subject is part of a context of improving the performance of optronic products. Theoretical and technical support will be provided by the Digital/Analog/Power Service where the intern will be hosted. This study will ultimately serve to develop electronic boards for new generation products. The Digital/Analog/Power Service, part of the Technical Competence Center, designs and develops digital electronic boards (FPGA, DSP, memories, communication buses) and analog boards (low-noise weak signals, sensor acquisition) and power boards (DC/DC, motor/servomechanism control). The service is composed of about thirty electronics engineers and technicians.

Within the analog acquisition chains of our optronic products based on the use of operational amplifier components in transimpedance (TIA) configuration, we observe that the bandwidth of our TIA circuits is highly dependent on the parasitic feedback capacitance of the configurations. The aim of the internship would be to create electronics implementing current switching in the PN junction whose temperature needs to be known; the junction voltage will be digitized by a low-noise ADC via the use of an ARDUINO type board.

The different missions of the internship are:

• Analysis of needs and familiarization based on an existing pre-study
• Design and construction of electronics (schematic, routing, manufacturing) to measure the temperature of a PN junction (diode or transistor)
• Development of the ADC acquisition code via Arduino
• Debugging and characterization
