Outline of the procedure

Mod-10 Counter
The modulo-10 counter is a counter that has states from 0 to 9. Thus it is also called a BCD
counter.In this lab, you are required to use your existing mod-16 counter to design a mod-10 counter.
Note
the counter sequence required for modulo-10 counting

0001 (1)
0010 (2)
.
.
.
1001 (9)
0000 (0)
0001 (1)
.
A MOD 10 counter has 10 possible states. In other words it counts from 0 to 9 and rolls over.

LMELE201
How many Flip-Flops could do it?
( This could be on single IC, but we wil use JK Flip-Flops.)

The trick is to find a way not to use all of those states. There must be a way to force the
counter to stop counting at 9 and roll over to 0.
This is where the asynchronous inputs come into play. The asynchronous inputs can override the
synchronous inputs and force the output either high or low.
When Preset = 1, Q = 1
When Clear = 1, Q = 0

Looking at truth table, the counter should run from

6
LMELE201
Since the counter has to display 1001, the next number 1010 will be used to reset the counter to
zero. Since the asynchronous inputs are active high, an AND gate will be used. The two flip-flops
where a 1 occurs will be tied to an AND gate, and the output will be tied to the clear input.

When the counter goes to 1010, the AND gate will have a 1 on its output and will activate the
clear inputs. This will reset the counter to 0000. The 1010 will never be displayed. In
essence,the counter counted/displayed from 0000 to 1001.

Outline of procedure:
Seven-Segment LEDs
The seven-segment LED display has four individual digits, each with a decimal point. Each of
the seven segments (and the decimal point) in a given digit contains an individual LED. When
a suitable voltage is applied to a given segment LED, current flows through and illuminates
that segment LED. By choosing which segments to illuminate, any of the nine digits can be
shown.

Results:
Truth table
The function of a BCD to 7-segment decoder is to convert the logic states at the outputs of a
BCD counter such as the 4510 into a form which will drive a 7-segment display. The display
shows the decimal numbers 0-9 and is easily understood.
The individual segments making up a 7-segment display are identified by letters as follows

9
LMELE201
There are two important types of 7-segment LED display.
In a common cathode display, the cathodes of all the LEDs are joined together and the
individual segments are illuminated by HIGH voltages.

In a common anode display, the anodes of all the LEDs are joined together and the individual

segments are illuminated by connect ing to a LOW voltage.

When the 4511 is set up correctly, the outputs follow this truth table:

Learning Objective:
Students will understand significance and working of A/D and D/A converters
Outline of procedure:
Digital-to-analog converter
A digital-to-analog converter (DAC or D-to-A) is a device for converting a digital (usually
binary) code to an analog signal (current, voltage or electric charge).
A DAC, inputs a binary number and outputs an analog voltage or current signal. In block
diagram form, it looks like this:

This circuit is an operational amplifier circuit with three input voltages.

12
LMELE201
Each input voltage is either zero volts or five volts and represents a logical 0 or 1.
1. The input resistors are chosen so that they are not all equal.
2. The resistors are related by: Rc = 2Rb = 4Ra.

To understand how this circuit works we will need to obtain a symbolic

expression for the output voltage - one in which we express the output voltage in terms of the
binary number that the input represents. We already have an expression for the output voltage.
Vout = (RfVa /Ra) + (RfVb /Rb) + (RfVc /Rc)
We need to interpret this output voltage expression when the inputs represent a binary number.
Let's examine the expression for the output voltage using the relat ion we required for the
resistors.
Rc = 2Rb = 4Ra
Then, the output voltage expression becomes:
Vout = (RfVa /Ra) + (RfVb /Rb) + (RfVc /Rc)
Vout = (RfVa /Ra) + (RfVb /2Ra) + (RfVc /4Ra)
Each input voltage is either zero (0) or five (5) volts, represent ing either a zero or a one.
Although we shouldn't mix Boolean algebra variables and ordinary algebraic variables, we are
going to. We're going to say
Va = 5A2
Vb = 5A1
Vc = 5Ao
So
Vout = (Rf/4Ra)(4Va + 2Vb + Vc )
Vout = (5Rf/4Ra)(4A2 + 2A1 + Ao )

13
LMELE201
 A2 A1 A0 Binary 4A2+2A1+Ao
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 1
0 1 0 2 2
0 1 1 3 3
1 0 0 4 4
1 0 1 5 5
1 1 0 6 6
1 1 1 7 7

In other words, A2 is the 4 bit, A1 is the 2 bit and Ao is the 1

bit. After all this, we reach these conclusions for this circuit.
1. The inputs can be thought of as a binary number, one that can run from zero (0) to
seven (7).
2. The output is a voltage that is proportional to the binary number input.
3. The circuit itself converts a digital representation of a number to an analog version of
the same number. The circuit is a digital-to-analog converter also known as a D/A
converter.

ADC
ADC Using Lm399

BACKGROUND
Digital-to-Analog converters (DACs) and Analog-to-Digital converters (ADC) are important
building blocks which interface sensors (e.g. temperature, pressure, light, sound, cruising speed
of a car) to digital systems such as microcontrollers or PCs. An ADC takes an analog signal and
converts it into a binary one, while a DAC converts a binary signal into an analog value. Figure 1
gives a block diagram of such a system. An example of such a system is a PC sound card.
Figure

14
LMELE201
Analog-to-Digital Converter
An ADC takes an analog input and generates a digital output as shown in Figure 2a. The more
bits the output word has the better the resolution. For a 3-bit ADC, the number of steps will be 8
(=23) while a 10-bit ADC will divide the analog signal up into 1024 (=210) steps.
The input-output relationship of an ADC is shown in Figure 2b for a 3-bit converter. Notice that
when the analog input signal (on the horizontal axis) reaches a certain level, a new digital code
will be generated (see vertical axis in Figure 2b) which represents the digital output of the ADC
as a function of the analog input. The maximum analog signal the ADC can accommodate is
called the Full Scale (FS) as is shown in Fig. 2b. As an example, if the analog input is equal to
(Full Scale), the output code for the example of Figure 2b will be (100). However, if
one increases the magnitude of the input signal above , the new digital output code will
be (101).

15
LMELE201
The circuit consists of 4 comparators whose inverting inputs are connected to a voltage divider. A
comparator is basically an operational amplifier used without feedback. The outputs of the
comparators in Figure 3 correspond to a digital word. When the input rises above VN1 , the first
comparator will switch to a high output voltage (positive rail), causing the LED to light up,
indicating a (0001). For larger input voltages the output of other comparators will switch high as
well. For large input voltages (above Vn3) all comparators will be high corresponding to (1111)
digital output. Thus the comparators encode the analog input as a digital word on a thermometer
scale.

All comparators work in parallel which makes this ADC very fast. For that reason it is called a Flash
Converter.
Notice that a 1 kOhm resistor has been added between the power supply and the output of the
comparators. This has been done to ensure that the output voltage of the comparators is high enough (the
comparators have an open collector - don't worry what that means at this point).

 EXPERIMENT 5

Experiment :
Realize JK FF using D FF.
Material Required: - D FF(IC7474) , connecting wires, breadboard, power supply + 5volt

Outline of Procedure :
The basic J-K Flip-flop is shown in Figure.

18
LMELE201
SR Flip Flop

Like the R-S flip-flop the outputs follow the inputs when the Clk is logic, but there are two
inputs, traditionally labelled J and K. If J and K are different then the output Q takes the
value of J at the next clock edge. If J and K are both low then no change occurs. If J and K
are both high at the clock edge then the output will toggle from one state to the other. It can
perform the functions of the R-S Flip- flop and has the advantage that there are no
ambiguous states. Due to the extra logic that ensures only one of the R and S inputs is
enabled at any time. This prevents possible oscillation, which can occur when both inputs of
an RS flip-flop are active at the same time. The truth table of this J-K flip-flop is shown in
Table 1.

19
LMELE201
 J K Clk Q Q_bar
0 0 Pos-edge No change
0 1 Pos-edge 0 1
1 0 Pos-edge 1 0
1 1 Pos-edge Toggle
Table 1 Truth table for the simple J-K Flip-flop of Figure

One problem with the basic J-K Flip-flop is that spikes can appear on the output and there is an
unstable state when both J & K inputs are logic 0.
This can be eliminated by adding another latch circuit of this flip-flop to isolate the outputs Q
and Q bar from the inputs J & K as shown in Figure 3.
The inverter connected between the two CLK inputs ensures that the two sections will be
enabled during opposite half-cycles of the clock signal.
Cautions:
1. Pin Configuration of ICs must be considered carefully before use
2. Continuity of ICs must be tested before use.
3. Properly supply 5V to the VCC of ICs and should be properly ground.

The given sequence length S= 15.
Therefore N =4.

Note: There is no guarantee that the given sequence can be generated by 4 f/fs. If the sequence is
not realizable by 4 f/fs then 5 f/fs must be used and so on.

THEORY:
A BJT is a three terminal two junction semiconductor device in which the

 conduction is due to both the charge carrier. Hence it is a bipolar device and it
amplifier the sine waveform as they are transferred from input to output. BJT is
classified into two types NPN or PNP. A NPN transistor consists of two N types in
between which a layer of P is sandwiched. The transistor consists of three terminal emitter,
collector and base. The emitter layer is the source of the charge carriers and it is heartily
doped with a moderate cross sectional area. The collector collects the charge carries and
hence moderate doping and large cross sectional area. The base region acts a path for the
movement of the charge carriers.In order to reduce the recombination of holes and electrons
the base region is lightly doped and is of hollow cross sectional area. Normally the transistor
operates with the EB junction forward biased.

In transistor, the current is same in both junctions, which indicates that there is a
transfer of resistance between the two junctions. One to this fact the transistor is known as
transfer resistance of transistor.

THEORY:
In this configuration the base is made common to both the input and out. The
emitter is given the input and the output is taken across the collector. The current gain of this
configuration is less than unity. The voltage gain of CB configuration is high. Due to the
high voltage gain, the power gain is also high. In CB configuration, Base is common to both
input and output. In CB configuration the input characteristics relate IE and VEB for a
constant VCB. Initially let VCB = 0 then the input junction is equivalent to a forward biased
diode and the characteristics resembles that of a diode. Where VCB =
+VI (volts) due to early effect IE increases and so the characteristics shifts to the left.
The output characteristics relate IC and VCB for a constant IE. Initially IC increases and
then it levels for a value IC = IE. When IE is increased IC also increases
proportionality. Though increase in VCB causes an increase in , since is a fraction, it is
negligible and so IC remains a constant for all values of VCB once it levels off.

To practice the performance of JFET.

THEORY:
FET is a voltage operated device. It has got 3 terminals. They are Source, Drain & Gate.
When the gate is biased negative with respect to the source, the pn junctions are reverse
biased & depletion regions are formed. The channel is more lightly doped than the p type
gate, so the depletion regions penetrate deeply in to the channel. The result is that the channel
is narrowed, its resistance is increased, & I D is reduced. When the negative bias voltage is
further increased, the depletion regions meet at the center & ID is cutoff completely.

Objective
The objective of this experiment is to introduce you to the MOSFET (Metal Oxide
Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) and give you the chance to examine its I/V characteristics
and measure some of its important parameters. The MOSFET that we will use in this experiment
is IRF620. Check its datasheet here:
http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/SGSThomsonMicroelectronics/mXqsuz.pdf
Procedure
Threshold Voltage Measurement
1. Connect the circuit shown in Fig. 1.
2. Increase VDD until V1k becomes 0.25V (250 mV).
3. At that point, measure and record the value of VGS using a DC voltmeter.
4. Then your MOSFET's threshold (Vt ) can be taken approximately as Vt VGS.

THRESHOLD VOLTAGE Vt= V

Output (Drain) Characteristics Measurement

1. Connect the circuit shown in Fig. 2.
2. Set VGG at (Vt +0.1), Vt as measured in 6.2.1, verify this value using a voltmeter.
Note: Since IG = 0, VGS = VGG
3. Vary VDD to obtain VDS values as shown in Table 1. For each value of VDS, measure and
record VRD. The corresponding values of ID can be found from Ohm's law.
4. Set VGG at (Vt +0.2), verify this value using a voltmeter. Redo step 3.
5. Set VGG at (Vt +0.3), verify this value using a voltmeter. Redo step 3.
6. Set VGG at (Vt +0.4), verify this value using a voltmeter. Redo step 3.

 Results, Calculations and Questions,

1. On one graph, plot ID (mA) vs. VDS (V) for each value of VGS. You should have four curves
(family of curves on one graph). Label each curve with the corresponding values of VGS. Also,
show VDS(sat) for each curve. What is the shape of the relationship between I D and VDS(sat)?
Label the three regions of operation on your graph (cutoff, linear, saturation).

2. At VDS = 1 V, plot the relationship between ID (mA) and VGS (V). What is the name of this
relationship?
The slope of this relationship gives you the transconductance, gm, a small signal parameter. Find
gm at ID= 2mA.

3.Given that gm = calculate gm and compare that to what you have found above.

4.Also, given that gm= kn (VGS-Vt), and knowing gm from the previous step, calculate the
constant kn .

 EXPERIMENT 9
Experiment :
To perform experiment on clipping, biased clipping and clamping

Equipment required:
Function Generator, Oscilloscope, DC Power Supply.
Material required:
Breadboard, Diodes, Capacitors and Resistors
Learning Objective:
To steady the diode applications in a clipping and clamping circuits.
Theory:
This experiment studies the applications of the diode in the clipping & clamping
operations.
1. Clipping Circuits:
the Figure (l) shows a biased clipper, for the diode to turn in the input voltage must be
greater +V, when Vm is greater than +V , the diode acts like a closed switch (ideally)
& the voltage across the output equals +V , this output stays at +V as long as the input
voltage exceeds +V.
when the input voltage is less than +V , the diode opens and the circuit acts as a
voltage divider, as usual , RL should be much greater than R, in this way , most of
input voltage appears across the output.
The output waveforms of Figure (1) summarize the circuit action. The biased clipper
removes all signals above the (+V) level.
2. Clamping Circuits:
A clamper does is adding a DC component to the signal. In Figure (2) the input signal
is a sinewave, the clamper pushes the signal upward, so that the negative peaks fall on
the 0V level. As can see, the shape of the original signal is preserved, all that happen
is a vertical shift of the signal.
We described an output signal for a positive dampen- On the Figure (2) shown
represents a positive clamper ideally here how it is works. On the first negative half
cycle of input voltage, the diode turns on.
At the negative peak, the capacitor must charge to V p with polarity shown. Slightly
beyond the negative peak, the diode shunts off.

 EXPERIMENT 10
Experiment :
To perform experiment on voltage regulation

Apparatus Required:

Objectives:

rectifying diodes.

Outline Of Procedure:

The Zener Diode Reverse Characteristics

The method obtaining the voltage-current characteristics is the similar to that of

supply variable control, set VS to the values given in Table

A Simple Zener Diode Voltage Regulator
The Zener diode has a region in its reverse characteristics of almost constant voltage
regardless of the current through the diode. This can be used to regulate or stabilize a
voltage source against supply or load variations.
A Zener diode whose breakdown voltage is the desired constant voltage is connected
across the load as shown in Figure

Construct the circuit of Fig

Now set the potentiometer temporarily to make I L=0, and then slowly increase V S
until the diode just begins to conduct current, say 1mA. Record V S and IL=0 in the
first row of the table.
Now set the potentiometer to maximum (clockwise). The extra current drawn by R L
will reduce the diode current to below 1mA.
Increase VS to 12V; the diode current will increase above 1mA. Then adjust RL until
the diode current just returns to approximately 1mA. Again record V S and IL

51
LMELE201
 Repeat this for VS=14, 16, 18 and 20V.

Plot IL against VS.

Every point on your graph represents a condition where the Zener diode has only just
reached its breakdown voltage. Thus, for a given I L, a lower value of VS will take the
diode out of breakdown and, for a given V S, a higher value of IL will do the same.
Therefore the whole of one side of your graph is an area where the diode is not in
breakdown and thus is not holding VL constant. Mark this area in your graph.
What sets a limit to the minimum load current and the maximum supply voltage?

52
LMELE201
 Reduce VS in steps of 1V, each time resetting RL to give Id=150mA approximately
and record IL. Continue until it is no longer possible to set I d to 150mA.
Plot VS against IL on the same axes used for your previous graph
Shade on your graph the area that now represents the useable range of V S and IL
