EEE 202 Lab - Circuits I - Fall 2010Lab Admin TA: Lakshminarayan Ravichandran (Viju) ([email protected])Lab TAs: Mahesh K. Banavar ([email protected]), Robert Santucci ([email protected]),and Berkay Kanberoglu ([email protected])Lab Venue: GWC 273 Lab Website: http://myasucourses.asu.edu - Blackboard siteLab description• The aim of this lab is to design, analyze, and simulate linear circuits using discrete components. The lab will usesimulation software to perform analysis of DC and AC circuits. Students will build circuits using discrete com-ponents (resistors, capacitors, diodes, and op-amps) and test equipment (DC power supply, waveform generator,multimeter, and oscilloscope).Lab details:• There will be 10 labs in total and a final lab exam. The lab dates and report submission dates have been set.You will be notified in advance if there is a change in the lab schedule.• The students may perform the lab individually or in groups of two only. Each student will submit an individualreport for each lab. You will be required to record your observations and notes on a data sheet (plain sheet ofpaper). The data sheet must be signed by the TA during the lab and attached along with the lab report.You will be provided with a grading sheet with the list of deliverables for each lab.• The Lab Final Exam accounts for 25% of the lab grade. The date for the lab exam is provided in the labschedule. You will be required to perform a hardware experiment and a SPICE simulation. You will workindividually. You will not receive a grade for the lab if you miss the lab final exam.Attendance and Lab Reports• Attendance accounts for 25% of the lab grade. You are required to attend the lab during the session you areregistered for and you must be on time. If you are late by more than 5 minutes, you may not perform the lab.Notify the TA in advance if you are not able to attend a lab and if you want a change in the lab slot. If you missa lab, you receive no credit for that lab.• Lab reports constitute 50% of the lab grade.You should submit the reports before the lab session begins,on the required dates. A late report will incur a penalty at the TA’s discretion, unless prior arrangement hasbeen made with the TA. If you attend a lab, but do not submit the report for the lab, you will receive credit forattendance only.• A lab report should include the grading sheet, answers to all the questions asked, and the data sheet with theTA’s signature on it. You may not submit a report if you did not perform the lab. Hand-written reports arenot acceptable. Use a word-processing software (like MS-Word) to prepare your report. Check for typos andfactual errors, since they will incur penalties. A photocopy of the report is not acceptable.• If the report demands a SPICE simulation, you are required to present a screenshot of your SPICE circuits andthe waveforms/readings (if any) with the report. Any PSPICE submission must have your name and submissiondate clearly marked on it.Miscellaneous• Check the announcements on the Blackboard site and your ASU email regularly.– Course material will be made available on the Blackboard site.1– All communication for the lab will be made either in the lab or by ASU email. It is imperative that youcheck your ASU email regularly.• For questions about the lab, please feel free to contact the TA either by email, or meet the TA immediately afterthe lab sessions. Other meetings are by appointment only.Lab schedule:Lab Lab to be performed on Report Due DateLab 1 - PSpice Aug 30 - Sep 3 Sep 13 - Sep 17Lab 2 - More PSpice Sep 13 - Sep 17 Sep 20 - Sep 24Lab 3 - Basic Circuitry and Measurements Sep 20 - Sep 24 Sep 27 - Oct 1Lab 4 - WFG’s and Oscilloscopes Sep 27 - Oct 1 Oct 4 - Oct 8Lab 5 - Circuit Models Oct 4 - Oct 8 Oct 11 - Oct 15Lab 6 - Op-Amps Oct 11 - Oct 15 Oct 18 - Oct 22Lab 7 - Op-Amps 2 Oct 18 - Oct 22 Oct 25 - Oct 29Lab 8 - Phase Measurements Oct 25 - Oct 29 Nov 1 - Nov 5Lab 9 - Linear and Non-linear Circuits Nov 1 - Nov 5 Nov 15 - Nov 19Lab 10 - Active Filters Nov 15 - Nov 19 Nov 29 - Dec 3In Class Lab Final Nov 29 - Dec 3Accessing PSPICEYou will need access to the simulation software PSPICE to work on the reports. Outside the GWC 273 lab area, youcan access PSPICE in the following ways:• On-campus Computing Sites (Computing Commons, Goldwater Computing site, Coor Computing Commons)– Using Instructor Volume for EEE 202, you may access PSPICE on any on-campus computing site. Usethe document on the Blackboard site for detailed instructions or visithttp://help.asu.edu/node/211.– Hours open - please check at the computing site location.• On your laptop/Home PC– You can get PSPICE download for free athttp://ets.fulton.asu.edu/system/files/shared/docs/ps9 1.zip– For detailed instructions on the installation process, see the document on the Blackboard
