Electronic Circuits Project 2020
Goal:
The goal of this project is to design different transistor circuit designs.
They are key components in BJT and MOS Transistors.
In this project you are asked to design and simulate it to characterize different transistor circuit designs.
Design Requirements:
1. The students will form groups of no more than 3 (three) for this project. Make sure that the work is divided equally between the members of each group.
2.Each group works together in the design, analysis and simulation, but each student has to write his own report separately and each student sends his own report, don't copy from each other, only the results should be the same for each group, not the writing.
3. Each group pick one of the designs on this Google Sheet, don't change in the file, changes can be tracked, just pick one design.
4. Analyse your circuit by drawing the DC and AC equivalent circuit. From inspection of the circuit, find Q-point, Rin, Rout, Av, and cut frequencies.
5. There are many ways that you can implement transistor circuit.
6. You can use one of those simulation tools:
or you may choose any other design tools.
Due Date:
- The complete report is due on May 31, 2020.
- Reports (report for each student individually) must be sent by email to my email: mfarahat@zu.edu.eg. NEW
Deliverables:
- There will be an online interview with each group to discuss their work.
- A written report that contains but not limited to the following items.
1. Give some brief explanation on how you designed the circuit.
2. Complete DC and AC Equivalent circuits.
3. The steps of calculating Q-point, Rin, Rout, Av, and cut frequencies, in details.
4. Original SPICE file (circuit netlist).
5. Waveforms from SPICE simulations that shows the functionality of the circuit. Clearly show all the data (inputs and outputs) on the waveforms.
6. Using SPICE, measure Rin, Rout, Av, and plot the frequencies response.
7. A table showing the hour spent for each task by each member of the group.
