Lab Exercises

Assignment (counted as Lab 1): Introduction to PSpice Simulations

Each student should turn in Assignment 1.
Treat this as a homework assignment (you do not need to follow Lab report format).
Copied plots and simulations will get zero!

From Lab 2 on, each student should bring pre-lab to the Lab (circuit analysis, PSpice Simulation). However, write only one Lab report per team.

Lab 2: Passive Filters

Lab 3: OpAmp as Linear Amplifiers

Lab 4: OpAmps: Active Filters, Integrators, & Differentiators

Lab 5: Diodes
You need to download the PSpice Models for Zener diode if they are not already in your version of PSpice. See PSpice Primer on how to do this. Click on the Zener diode files to download them. D1N5232.lib, and D1N5232.olb. . PSpice on the computers in the PSpice lab includes the D1N5232 parts in the DIODE Libraries, so you don't need to download them if you use computers in the lab.

Lab 6: Logic Gates

Lab 7: Transistor Amplifiers
For experiments 3-5, you should use formulas given in Page 191 of lecture notes.
Several examples of BJT amplifiers analysis and desgin are provided in the lecture notes (Transistors, part 2):
Problem 9 is the design of a common emitter amplifier (experiment 4)
Problem 6 is an emitter follower circuit (experiment 5).
