This document provides information about the ECE163 Electronic Circuits and Systems course offered at UC San Diego in Spring 2014, including the course description, topics covered, instructor and TA details, grading policy, lab policies, and resources. The course covers electronic circuits with an emphasis on system applications. It includes 7 assignments involving simulations and experiments. Labs must be completed in pairs and will include building circuits, collecting data in notebooks, submitting individual reports, and potentially oral exams. Students will need to purchase components and check out equipment from the lab.

ECE163 TuTh 8:00-9:20

Electronic Circuits and Systems

This course covers a broad range of electronic circuits with emphasis on system uses. Seven
assignments include simulations and experiments. Note that this year the lab #5 may be left out
unless time permits.

1. Feedback amplifier stability: Introduction, frequency response, poles and zeros,


feedback, stability, Bode plots, gain and phase margins, inverting and non-inverting gain
amplifiers.
2. Operational amplifier: Small-signal opamp model, gain-bandwidth product, pole-
splitting Miller compensation, slew and settling.
3. Voltage regulator: Small-signal model, Zener and bandgap references, load and line
regulations, frequency compensation, short protection, switching regulator.
4. Active RC filter: Maximally flat Butterworth filter, Sallen-Key filter, biquad, frequency
and impedance scaling, biquads.
5. Switched-capacitor filter: Sample/hold, aliasing, signal flow graph, direct discrete-time
integrator, lowpass-to-highpass transform, lowpass-to-bandpass transform.
6. ADC: Quantization noise, differential and integral non-linearity, flash, pipeline, first-
order and second-order oversampling ∆Σ modulator.
7. Phase-locked loop: Phase noise, phase detector, charge-pumped PLL, voltage-controlled
oscillator, FM demodulation, capture and lock-in ranges.

scanned lecture note will be also uploaded on the same day of the lecture.

Grading Labs (30%), Midterm (30%), and Final (40%). All students are encouraged to
attend regularly all classes, discussions, and labs.

Laboratory Policy

Labs must be done in pairs due to the shortage in space. Labs will be discussed in the
discussion sections and lab problems may be brought up at the beginning of a lecture. You can
use the lab at any time. TA’s schedule will be posted in the lab room.

Each group needs to purchase a small kit of components and check out test equipments from
Room EBU2 328 (ECE Electronics Shop). Each group needs to get a cashier's form and an
equipment checkout form.

Each group must keep a laboratory notebook. Measurements complete with circuit diagrams
and description of the test setup must be entered in the notebook. If measurements are recorded
on another piece of paper, it must be stapled into the notebook. The page must be signed and
dated by the person taking the measurements. Your notebook will be collected and graded at the
end of the quarter.

A short lab report will be expected for each experiment. Copies of the raw data from your lab
notebook must be appended to the report. The report should include the information necessary
for another engineer to repeat the entire process of design, simulation, and testing and get the
same results as you did. However, excessively long report has no merit.

If it is not clear from your report and your notebook that you actually performed an
experiment, you will be given an oral examination on that experiment. Copying reports or
measurements, or putting your name on a report you did not contribute to, will be seriously
penalized.

Most laboratory experiments include a computer simulation using SPICE. You can use an
evaluation/student version of PSPICE for most works, but it cannot handle larger circuits or
mixed-mode circuits. There are PC's in EBU2 335, which run the student version of PSPICE and
the commercial version of Electronics Workbench loaded. The Academic Computer Center
operates a PC lab in EBU2 315. The PCs in the room have the full commercial version of
PSPICE but you have to pay ACS for printing. The lab is not dedicated to ECE 163.

Unexpected shortage of parts and computer resources can be expected, and schedules may
change. Information contained here may not be up to date, and any changes will be announced
in the class web site.

Finally, the most important mistake you will make in this lab course is a free ride.
Reports and lab notebooks will be closely checked for duplication.

Each student submits his/her short report like regular home works. Each group
submits a lab notebook at the end of the quarter.
