ECE 137B Spring 2010
Instructor: Prof. Luke Theogarajan
Office hours: Friday 1-2 PM
Schedule:
Mondays, and Wednesdays, 9:30-10:45 a.m., SH 1431
ECE 137B strives to introduce basic concepts of design and analysis using active devices. It integrates the knowledge from ECE 2A,B & C to enable the design of ctive circuits such as amplifiers. The course is the second part of a two-part design sequence and involves a lab section. The course will cover the physics of diodes, MOSFETs & BJTs, circuits based on these devices; specific design topologies such as op-amps will also be discussed. We will briefly review various concepts of frequency-based analyses such as Fourier and Laplace methods, and the use ofBode-plots. Basic ideas behind feedback analysis and stability will also be discussed.

You do not have to go to the lab at the times posted in the Schedule of classes. You can work at any time of your convenience.
Design projects, not set experiments, will be assigned as the lab content of the course. The labs will be open, and you are free to work on your projects whenever the lab has open hours. The lab design projects are highly independent in nature, and your work should be creative, independent, original, and analytically rigorous. You will make a appointment at a specified time to check off the lab project in the presence of the TA. The lab is closed to further lab construction or project debugging during these times. The project must be working and available for check off at the time of the appointment; it is otherwise graded as late with associated penalties. Upon check-off, the circuit is handed in to the TA, and the TA in return provides a signed check-off sheet of recorded measurement values to each design team. This check off sheet is then included by the students as a part of the design report, due usually 1-3 days after the check off period.
Design teams are groups of two students. Larger groups are not permitted
There are no parts boxes in the lab. Parts for the lab can are obtained from
the electronics shop on the 1st floor of engineering. Since they are not open
evenings or weekends, reasonable advanced planning is required in terms of
purchasing parts. Things you should purchase, one set-up per group of students:
A tool and part box (Tackle box or Tupperware), Wire stripper and pliers ,
Solder less bread board, Soldering Iron (20-30 Watts), and solder, soldering
heat sink clips, a small sponge (cleaning the iron tip), Vector board
(perforated circuit board), a set of test leads for the digital voltmeter, 2
oscilloscope cables, and "flea clips"-insertable
soldering terminals for vectorboard (optional, makes
circuit construction easier and neater). While these items can be bought at
Radio Shack or Dow/Marvak, the electronics shop on
the 1st floor of engineering 1 will generally be much more
economical. For desoldering, plea"Solder
sucker" desoldering tools are not permitted in
the lab, as they disperse a toxic dust of solder granules over the lab.
Homework sets will be due, at the times posted on the web, in the homework boxes in the center stairwell on the 3rd floor of Engineering 1 (HFH). Late homework cannot be accepted as it interferes with the need to post solutions and return graded homework assignments quickly. Solutions will be posted on the class web page soon after the due date.
You are expected to work independently on both your problem sets and your
lab projects. Significant sharing of design details on the lab projects is a
violation of academic standards. Students are expected to keep their eyes on
their own exams: students may expect to receive an exam grade of zero if they
are observed to be looking at other student's examination papers.
Exams are open book and open notes and a calculator will be required.
