o Lab Material
o Overview
o Important:
1. Students repeating EEE 334 must re-do all lab
experiments (Department Policy)
2. Most experiments are time consuming
o Labs 5 – 7 and 9 require the use of a Ground
Strap due to the use of an electrostatic
discharge (ESD) sensitive MOSFET chip
Note: ESD can vaporize the chip’s very small
inner conductors damaging it permanently
Note: It is very important to wear the Ground
Strap when handling this chip
o Lab 8 is a new lab for preparation for
Digital Circuits curses

o Experiments
o General
o Experiments MUST be done in groups of 3
o Form groups today
o Same members through class duration
o Member can be from both EEE334 sections
o Special Instructions for labs , if any, will be emailed prior to each lab.
o i.e. for Lab 1: Do section 1.2 in PSpice too.
o Data sheets must be done individually although
experiments are conducted in groups
o Get the data sheet stamped by the TA ONLY after
completing an experiment and before leaving the
lab area
o If experiment is done in different lab visits,
you must prove it in order to get the stamp
Note: Copied data sheets WILL NOT BE STAMPED
EEE 334 LAB
o Experiments
o Avoid Common Mistakes
o Check component values with RCL
o Do not build messy circuits
o Connect all circuit’s grounds to the source’s
ground not to chassis ground
o Always set the Signal Generator to High Z
o Connect Signal Generator to OUTPUT not SYNC
o Know difference between Freq. and Time domain
o Do not Mix AC with DC quantities
o Know difference between Vp-p, Vp and Vrms
o Do not MIX UNITS (pay attention to powers i.e.
10E-6, 10E6)
o Collect enough data points where applicable
o Document sufficient lab data for report

o Lab Report
o Writing the report:
Note: The ability to write quality technical
reports is essential for an Engineering
carrier
o This Lab requires one lab report per group
o Members take turns writing reports

o Lab Report
o Writing the report:
o Only typed reports allowed
o No hand written nor photocopied
reports
o Avoid wordiness and empty statements
o Keep it clean-cut, neat and organized
o Use computer programs to draw circuits,
graphs and tables
o DO NOT CONTROL COPY FIGURES FROM LAB
MANUAL
o DO NOT REFER ME TO THE DATA SHEET, PUT
ALL OBSERVATIONS AND RESULTS IN REPORT
o Keep number of sheets per report to a
minimum 10 pages max + DataSheets

o Lab Report
o Turn in Lab Reports:
o Drop only ON TIME reports into the white
wooden box in the GWC 273 lab area on the
due date by 10PM
o Late Reports:
o Turn in late reports directly to me OR
get them signed and dated by a TA and
slide under my door
o DO NOT DROP LATE REPORTS INTO WHITE
BOX, YOU WILL LOOSE 50% OF GRADE
o Late lab report penalty is -10% per day
not including University Holidays
o Reports that are turned in after graded
reports are returned need to have the
Professor’s signature
