Objective:
To develop the knowledge to design and analyze combinational and sequential circuits. This laboratory
primarily aims to reinforce the concepts introduced in ECE 201.
Required Materials: 209 Lab Kit, NI ELVIS II, Lab Manual, Digital Works software,
209 Lab Kit: You should have obtained the kit prior to lab 1. Lab kit notes are included in the ECE 209
lab manual available on the lab homepage.
NI ELVIS II: You will be using the NI ELVIS II kit to perform your experiments. Manual to this equipment
is included in the ECE 209 lab manual.
Lab Manual: The ECE 209 lab manual is to be downloaded from the link mentioned above. You will
have to bring this lab manual to lab.
Digital Works Software: The software along with its manual and required macros can be obtained
from the lab homepage. Students using 64 bit machines can download the software from
http://www.electronics-lab.com/downloads/schematic/002/index.html
Grading:
25% Pre-Lab preparation and design
25% Class performance and demonstration of functional circuits
30% Full lab reports
20% Final project and presentation
Lab Reports:
In addition to the brief lab reports to be submitted every week, the instructor will designate 3 lab experiments,
for which you are expected to write detailed reports and submit by a scheduled date. These reports have to be
typed using a word processor (or any other similar software) and printed out.
Note that:
Diagrams, sketches and tables should be neat and must be labeled. Only computer drawn circuit
diagrams will be accepted in these reports. Also, all logic equations must be clearly shown.
Grade will be based on organization, content, neatness, accuracy, conclusions and format.
Each report will consist of the following sections:
-Title page (Title, date, due date, author, lab partners)
-Objectives (State the purpose of the laboratory)
-Procedure, data (circuit diagrams) and results.
-Conclusion
-College of Engineering honor code.
-Signature of author
Students are strongly encouraged to collaborate while performing experiments in the lab or while working on
their final projects. However, all reports turned in must be the work of the student. All sources of help
including websites, books, discussion with friends etc. must be clearly mentioned in the acknowledgment and
reference sections of the report. All full lab reports and the final project report will have to be pledged as
follows:
“As members of the Clemson University community, we have inherited Thomas Green Clemson’s
vision of this institution as a ‘high seminary of learning.’ Fundamental to this vision is a mutual
commitment to truthfulness, honor, and responsibility, without which we cannot earn the trust and
respect of others. Furthermore, we recognize that academic dishonesty detracts from the value of a
Clemson degree. Therefore, we shall not tolerate lying, cheating, or stealing in any form.”
“When, in the opinion of a faculty member, there is evidence that a student has committed an act of
academic dishonesty, the faculty member shall make a formal written charge of academic
dishonesty, including a description of the misconduct, to the Associate Dean for Curriculum in the
Office of Undergraduate Studies. At the same time, the faculty member may, but is not required to,
inform each involved student privately of the nature of the alleged charge.”
