ENEE 305

NOTE: Before you proceed with your course please make sure you read and understand general laboratory guidelines for Electrical and Computer Engineering department undergraduate teaching labs listed, here.

This course is to provide students a hands-on experience on diodes and transistors through simple experiments. Students will also analyze, design and construct electronic circuits at the transistor and integrated circuit levels. Both digital and analog electronics are covered, starting with single devices. Students gain detailed knowledge of the operation and design of multi-transistor circuits: electronics is learned by building highly relevant circuits. BJT forward active operation is investigated by study of Common Emitter and Emitter Follower design, bias and small signal operation. MOS common source operation and Source Follower are investigated and inverters, NAND and NOR gates are analyzed. Basic transistor configurations and frequency response are taught by building a hi-fidelity audio amplifier and small signal topologies. Differential amps, active loads, current mirrors, and principles of feedback are taught through the construction of op-amps out of discrete components.. Below is a list of equipment that you will use in this course. You will find necessary manuals, troubleshooting guides, and FAQs about these equipments in their respective pages.

In addition to this equipment, you will have a set of components most commonly used in this lab at your workstations. Replace them in proper order and in proper location. For each laboratory you will have a component box assigned for each workstation. Ensure the components in this box are in order as listed on the label to the side of the box. Make sure you replace the box at the end of the lab. If any component is missing from the box, please notify your lab instructor or Teaching Assistant immediately.
