Description
The course addresses the analysis and design of active circuits involving
semiconductor devices including diodes, bipolar and field effect
transistors. Single-stage, differential, multi-stage and operational
amplifiers will be discussed, including their high frequency response.
Oscillators, wave shaping circuits, filters, feedback, stability and power
amplifiers will be covered. A weekly three-hour lab will illustrate the
concepts and circuits discussed in class. ESE 319 is 1.5 CU.

_ _
·
Homework assigned by Friday
of each week.
_ _
·
Assignments due on
Wednesday, the week after they are
assigned.
_ _
·
Up to 2 late turn-ins
(one-week, i.e. by the following
Wednesday or one-week after the original due date) permitted with no
penalty.
_ _
·
All homework not turned in on-time,
according to the above, will receive "0" grade.
_ _
·
Graded homework returned by Monday
or 5 days after they are turned
in.
_ _
·
Copying or plagiarism of homework is a
violation of the Code of
Academic Integrity and can result in a “0” grade for the
course.
_ _
·
Students are expected to manage their two
allowed late turn-ins to allow for unforeseen situations that will result in
homework to be turned in late.
Lab Policy
_ _
·
Each lab session lasts 3 hours and starts
promptly.
o o
o
Lab sessions missed due to legitimate absences must be made up.
_ _
·
Student Groups: The standard lab group is
2 students.
o o
o
Pre-lab and Lab Notebook - individual.
o o
o
Lab Report - group.
_ _
·
Collaboration is OK, copying and
plagiarism is NOT OK.
o o
o
Any violation of the Code of Academic
Integrity may result in zero grade for the course.
_ _
§
Copying of pre-lab, data or report content
from other lab groups.
_ _
§
Submitting contrived or altered data.
_ _
§
Copying material (other then schematics) from
lab handouts or other sources into Lab Reports.
_ _

important.
o o
o
Read lab assignment in advance.
o o
o
Read text sections relevant to the
experiment.
o o
o
Do all pre-lab work assigned prior to the
lab. Pre-Lab work will be spot checked in lab.
o o
o
Pencil and paper circuit design.
o o
o
Mutisim circuit simulation(s).
_ _
·
Individual Lab Notebook for recording
experimental data and observations is essential to preparing accurate Lab
Reports.
o o
o
Lab Notebooks will be kept as
in ESE 206.
o o
o
Lab Notebooks will be spot checked in lab
and collected for instructor review at the end of the course.

Lab Report Guidelines (Sample Lab Report) NEW
_ _
·
GROUP LAB REPORT GUIDELINES
(Reports due at start of next lab)
UPDATED 22Sep08
_ _
·
READABILITY
o o
o
Lab reports are to be clearly written and
typed up.
o o
o
Schematics may be computer drawn or neatly
hand-drawn or copied/printed and pasted from circuit simulator created
graphics.
o o
o
Tables and graphs of measured data may be
copied/printed and pasted from spreadsheet or some other math
software.
_ _
§
Please label your graphs concisely and
appropriately. Labeling your graphs will REDUCE the amount of work you have
to do explaining the graph and allow you to concentrate on the
results.
_ _
·
REQUIRED CONTENT
o o
o
Heading: Date, Title of Experiment, Authors
Names and Lab Section.
o o
o
Introduction: A paragraph describing the experiment objectives.
(5% of report grade or 1/20 points)
_ _
§
Example: In this lab, a high frequency amplifier was designed
and then built on a proto-board. The experimental results from the amplifier
were verified using Multi-Sim. This lab report discusses the findings from
these experiments.
o o
o
Theory: Ideal circuit behavior, pencil-and-paper design,
Pre-lab calculations and answers, all relevant equations and pre-lab Multiim
simulations (also conclusions drawn from the simulations). (20 % of report grade or 4/20 points)
_ _
§
This could include circuit equations for an op amp or Volterra series
expansion for an oscillator (look it up).
o o
o
Experimental Setup: Descriptions/schematics of actual circuit(s) tested,
instrumentation used and setups for each test, the actual values of all
components used. Its a good idea to take a photo (using a cell phone camera
is sufficient) of your proto-board to illustrate your experimental circuitry
layout(s). Please include a table of actual vs. "theoretical" or
"ideal" values for components that require measurement. (15 % of report grade or 3/20 points)
_ _
§
This section can also include a picture (cell phone camera) of your
experimental setup (with appropriate labels).
o o
o
Experimental Data: Present experimental results (tables, diagrams, graphs,
as appropriate). This includes experimental and post experimental
simulations using Multisim.. (25 % of
report grade or 5/20 points)
_ _
§
If you refer back to your experimental data in some depth, you will
want to label the plots with tags around the important areas of interest to
assist in your presentation of data results.
_ _
§
Note: Do not analyze data here, that is for
the Discussion Section.
o o
o
Discussion: Discuss results and explain the inconsistencies between
design assumptions, experimental results and post experiment simulation
results. This is where you tie together all of what you have written in the
above sections. The Theory, Set-Up, and especially the results sections are
analyzed here in depth to show that you have come to understand the
underlying issues associated with the lab experiments completed. Please include areas of improvement for accuracy and
reliability and relate any interesting or odd observations during the
experiment.(35 % of report grade or 7/20
points)
o o
o
LAB REPORT GRADE: N points out of 20 points, where N
less-than-or-equal to 20.
o o
o
IMPORTANT NOTE:
_ _
§
Most discussion sections should begin with a table of values. This
succinct table shows the experimental, theoretical (calculated from
equations) and simulated (Multisim) results for parameters/variables of
interest in the lab. This is typically a good jumping off point for the
results analysis.
o o
o
SUGGESTED: Individual Lab Notebooks for recording experimental data
and observations are extremely helpful for preparing Lab Reports. Often as
you take data, you will be unable to determine what will be the more
important data for the lab Report. Keeping good notes will help this process
greatly.

OVERVIEW
o o
o
In order of importance the sections are
_ _
§
Discussion
_ _
§
Having a fun weekend :-)
_ _
§
All the other sections.
o o
o
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: The Discussion section is where everything comes
together - so if your other sections are weak - your Discussion will be weak.
Every section should be composed with the idea that it will be referred to in
the Discussion. Even if the reference - the behavior being referenced is
reported to be 'erratic' is unexplained.

LAB REPORT TURN-IN PROTOCOL
o o
o
All Lab Reports are due the next lab session (1 week).
o o
o
All Lab Reports are to be either turned in a paper copies or
electronically as PDF by e-mail to the TA
(TBD).
o o
o
Up to 2 excused late Turn-Ins will be permitted without penalty
(one-week, i.e. one-week after the original due date).
o o
o
Late Lab Reports are due 1 week after original deadline.
o o
o
Lab Reports violating the above, will receive "0" grade.
o o
o
Students are expected to manage their two allowed late HW turn-ins to
allow for unforeseen situations that will result in homework to be turned in
late.
Using or attempting to use unauthorized
assistance, material, or lab results or solutions (in part or whole) is
a violation of the Code of Academic Integrity
and will result in a zero grade for the
course.
