Create a 6th order Butterworth filter. Then change capacitor values and notice how the design specifications change. Create a plot where there is an ideal high performance filter (exact capacitor values) compared to a filter where low tolerance capacitors are used (the value of the capacitor drifts).

1) Within a cubic unit cell on which you have labeled the x, y and z-axes:

a) Sketch the (110) plane.

b) Sketch a direction from the <100> family that is also on the (110) plane. Label its direction indices.

c) Sketch a direction from the <110> family that is also on the (110) plane. Label its direction indices.

d) Sketch a direction from the <111> family that is also on the (110) plane. Label its direction indices.

2) Make scale drawings of each of the following segments of directions in silicon (lattice constant is 0.543 nm), using circles to represent each of the atoms whose centers are on the segment. The radii of the circles should also be drawn to scale, so that any nearest neighbor atoms touch (if there are any nearest neighbors in that drawing). Place an atom at each end of each segment. Clearly label the separation distance between the centers of each atom on the line segment.

a) A segment 1.086 nm long in the [100] direction.

b) A segment 1.536 nm long in the [110] direction.

c) A segment 1.881 nm long in the [111] direction.

Explain the differences between TE, TM, and TEM waveguide modes and the difference between guided and unguided EM propagation

A boost converter has an input voltage Vin= 10 V, switching frequency fs= 100 kHz, duty ratio d=50%, load resistance RL= 20Ω, inductance 100μH, and capacitance 680 μF.

If you were trying to make a boost converter enter DCM, but your load resistor could not reach Rcrit, what other controllable parameters (not including Vin) could you change to reduce

the lowest value of i_L to zero? Explain your reasoning.

What is an advantage of processing signals in digital format (instead of analog)?

Find the main dimensions of a 2500 KVA, 187.5 rpm, 50 Hz, 3 phase, 3 kV, salient pole synchronous generator. The generator is to be a vertical, water wheel type. The specific magnitude loading is 0.6 Wb/m2 and the specific electric loading is 34000 A/m. Use circular pole with ratio of core length to pole pitch=0.65. Find the normal speed.

Write a C program for a PIC18F4321 microcontroller to convert eight LM-34 temperature sensors, which are connecte4d to AN0 to AN7, and display on a display consisting of two 7-segment displays. Use a three-bit switch to select one of the eight sensors to display.

A classmate of yours in the mechatronics concentration notices that you study microwave engineering in your curriculum but they do not. They want to know what makes microwave engineering unique and they want to know what kinds of projects you might work on as an RF/microwave engineer. Knowing that your friend has had enough EE coursework to understand a technical answer, what would you write as a response? To receive full credit your response must be a minimum of 150 words and explain some RF/microwave applications with linkages to relevant EE theory.

Design a three-stage operational amplifier at the transistor level using BJT technology. Your design should

include a differential input stage with large input resistance, a gain stage, and an output stage with low

input resistance. Justify your design choices. Use the op-amp you designed to create an inverting amplifier

using negative feedback with a given gain, A = −Rf/Ri . Provide a characterization of your op-amp design which

includes input resistance, output resistance, input bias currents, input offset current, input offset voltage, bandwidth, and slew rate. Provide a table to compare the performance of your op-amp to that of a 741. Use a transistor array (recommended) to build the circuit and test its performance by connecting it in an inverting amplifier configuration, and verifying the circuit gain. Compare the experimental results to those obtained using a 741.

Design a two-stage operational amplifier using MOSFET transistors and conduct the same type of analysis. Compare both designs in terms of their performance characteristics listed above

In this module, you studied a diode circuit known as a clipper. Think about at least one practical application of a clipper and discuss it.

Cortex-M0+ is the most energy-efficient processor in the Cortex-M family. Suppose a Cortex-M0+ processor takes 100 HA at running mode, and 50 HA at sleep mode. If the application puts the processor 50% at running mode and 50% at sleep mode, and the processor is powered by two button cell batteries with a total capacity of 600 mAh. How long can the batteries last? (Thumb of rule: Battery Life- Battery Capacity in Milliamps per hour/ Load Current in Mill amps * 0.70)

In the class, we had formulated the rules for the r’s compliment subtraction (also see section 1.5 in textbook for a summary of the rules). Formulate similar rules if you have to do the addition using the (r-1)s compliment.
