Tutorials, Labs, Projects & Spec Sheet Page


The experiments will be posted here 1 week before each lab, along with any tutorials needed to complete the pre-laboratory work.  The pre-laboratory work is within the experiment document itself, you are expected to download and complete the prelab prior to attending lab.


TUTORIALS:

Tutorial # Tutorial Description
Tutorial 1 (doc or pdf) DC Sweep Simulations in SPICE
Tutorial 2 (doc or pdf) Transformer Simulations in SPICE
Tutorial 3 (doc or pdf) Parametric Simulation of a BJT in SPICE
Tutorial 4 (doc or pdf) Bias Point Analysis Simulation of a BJT in SPICE
Tutorial 5 (doc or pdf) Designing a Common Emitter Amplifier
Tutorial 6 (doc or pdf) Designing a Common Collector Amplifier
Tutorial 7 (doc or pdf) Designing a Cascaded Multistage Amplifier
