Introduction Prelab Guide Report Solutions Please see Appendix 1: About Resistors
Oscilloscope Prelab Guide Report Solutions
Equivalent Circuits Prelab Guide Report Solutions Some theoretical values calculated in the prelab should be recorded in the lab report. Please do this before handing in your lab report to save yourself some work.
RC Circuits Prelab Guide Report Solutions Feb 17 - 23.  Please see Appendix 2: About Capacitors
Op-Amps Prelab Guide Report Solutions Feb 24 - Mar 1.  Please see Appendix 4: LMC6482 Datasheet.  In Guide, clipped means op-amp is clipping, not scope.  Always compare theoretical values with measured.  For differentiator apply 5V to pin 4 to avoid clipping. For integrator and differentiator frequency response, look at what happens to the gain before and after the "-3dB frequency" = 1/(2*pi*tau)
Diodes Prelab Guide Report Solutions Mar 8 - 12.  The background material is now included in the Prelab.  Please see Appendix 5: LED Color, Voltage Chart.  For Diode Logic, use 330 ohm resistors.  Use of DMM is suggested to measure voltages.
MOSFETs Prelab Guide Report Solutions Please see Appendix 6: Fairchild BS170 n-channel MOSFET datasheet.  DUT stands for Device Under Test.  For initial R_DUT, try values around 50 ohm to 1 k-ohm.
CS Amplifiers Prelab Guide Report Solutions
Digital Logic
 Prelab Guide Report Solutions Please see Appendix 7: XOR Layout and Appendix 8: 74HC00 Quad 2-Input Nand Datasheet.  To make the function generator output match the display, use a 51 ohm resistor from FG Output to ground as load.
