ECE 310 –Microelectronics I: Homeworks for Spring 2018

Homework Assignments

· Turn in your neatly done homework at the beginning of the class. 

· Homework solutions are posted on the course BBlearn site.

· Only odd-numbered problems from the textbook will be graded. Even numbered problems are only for your practice and their solutions are available on the book companion site.

HW 1– due Wednesday, Jan 31:   HW1.pdf

lec2A_ece310.pdf, lec2_ece310_video: Review of KCL/KVL and Thevenin/Norton equivalent circuits

HW 2– due Wednesday, Feb 7: HW2.pdf.

Load Line Analysis: [Matlab code: LoadLineAnalysis2.m] [Excel: Diode_Load_Line.xlsx]

HW 3– due Wednesday, Feb 21: HW3.pdf. (There’s a long gap here, start HW4 early!)

Exam 1 Extra points – due Friday, Feb 23 Exam1_Extra_Points.pdf

HW 4– due Monday, Feb 26 Wednesday, Feb 28: HW4.pdf. Help: Zener_Diode_Examples

Note that the Book MOSFET parameters (KP_n,p, V_THN,P) are available at the beginning of the problem set, and the nominal V_DD=1.8V.

However, the simulation models reflect a real 180nm CMOS technology and can have parameters different than the one used for calculations in the book examples and HWs.
