TOPICS
Laboratory measurements of circuits including scope probes, op-amps, diodes, transistor
amplifiers, and analog integrated circuits.
COURSE OUTCOMES
After completing EE 420 students will be able to:
1. understand how probing influences a circuit (1.4, 1.7) [1,2]
2. identify and explain the limitations of op-amps in analog circuit designs (1.4, 1.7,
1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.12) [1,2]
3. identify the currents, and how they change with applied potentials, flowing
through a semiconductor, diode, and transistor (1.4, 1.7, 1.9, 1.10, 1.12) [1,2]
4. design and simulate transistor amplifiers (1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.12) [1,2]
5. use SPICE verify hand calculations and aid in the design of analog integrated
circuits (1.11) [1,2]
COMPUTER USAGE
Students use SPICE to create, simulate, and analyze electronic circuits. Lab reports will
be published online using html
GRADING
Quizzes, lab reports, and a final project are used for grading assessment.
