\nProcedure:<\/p>\n
*** This lab has to be implemented in hardware (using NI myDAQ) as well as Software (Multisim) ***<\/p>\n
Part A:<\/p>\n
Analyze the circuit or the amplifier shown in Figure 1. Determine the voltages VB, VE, VC, VBE and VCE. Using the beta value of 100, determine the gain of the amplifier (AV). (Include 20% tolerances for resistors and capacitors).
\nConstruct the circuit shown in Figure 1 on the breadboard using the hardware parts.
\nUsing the jumper wires, screw driver and screw terminal connector, connect the board to NI MyDAQ Instrument Device.
\nUsing the function generator in NI ELVISmx Instrument Launcher, provide the voltage (Vin). Use channel AO0 pin on the NI myDAQ Instrument Device to provide this voltage. Make sure the frequency is 1 KHz frequency.
\nUsing +15V pin out on the Instrument Device provide the supply voltage VCC.
\nPerform the DC Analysis by disconnecting the capacitors and measuring VB, VE, VC, IB, IEand IC.
\nPlace the capacitors back and using pin AI0 on the NI myDAQ Instrument Device, measure the required voltages: VB, VE, VC VBE, VCE.
\nMeasure the currents: IC and IE using the Multimeter.
\nUse AI1 on the NI myDAQ Instrument Device to measure the load voltage VRL. Record the measurements and compare them with the calculated values in step 1.
\nUsing the input voltage Vin, base voltage VB and load voltage VRL, determine the gain of the amplifier (AV).

Part B:<\/p>\n
Download the ?Lab 6 troubleshooting? file and perform analysis for the circuits to locate the fault embedded in the circuit.
\nStep by step measure the key point?s value with Agilent multimeter. Carefully analyze each measured value to locate the fault within the circuits. Fix the fault and with the corrected fault in the newly circuit, measure and record the new values.
\nReview questions:<\/p>\n
Compare a calculated and measured values. Discuss whether the values are the same of different. If they are different, provide the reasoning.
\nDoes the DC analysis confirm your calculations?
\nWhat is the gain of the amplifier? Does the gain obtained from analysis match the measured gain? If not, what is the problem and how would you fix it?
\nWhat is the role of capacitors in the AC analysis?
\nDid you find any clipping of the collector current? If so, how did you adjust the circuit to avoid clipping?
\nDeliverables:<\/p>\n
DC and AC analysis of the circuit and all the calculations including gain of the amplifier from step 1.
\nTake a picture of the circuit board and pin out on the NI myDAQ Instrument Device.
\nTake screenshots of the measurements obtained from function generator and Oscilloscope and Multimeter on the NI ELVISmx Instrument Launcher on your screen.
\nScreenshots of the measurements from DC analysis (without the capacitors). Screenshots of the measurements from AC analysis (with the capacitors). Screenshots of the input voltage Vin, base voltage VB and load voltage VRL.
\nScreenshots of collector voltage (Vc) (if any clipping).
\nTabulate the data from analysis and measurements to confirm the gain of the amplifier.
\nUse the Lab report template found in the ?Tools and Template? link in the navigation center.
