The Lessons of Yesteryear also known as Tuesday, May 9

May 9
doin fine
what's a sine
it's not a line
it's a curve
start, up it swerves
powers mah nerves
and it has mah lerve
*mic drop*

(this isn't a call for help I swear)

So today we did a quick thing where we talked about a type of amplifier, a Schmitt Trigger, that basically gives a square wave signal on its output.  The thing has hysteresis; this mean it has upper and lower thresholds at which it switches from on to off and vice versa.  This is important for noise reduction.

Blah blah 2nd order circuits blah blah underdamped critically damped overdamped blah characteristic equation blah this was really fun to blah derive (no I'm serious)

IANS:
Series and Parallel Second Order Circuits, did some practice.

LAB:
RLC Circuit Response

Pre-lab:




Calculated Values:

Circuit:




1. Provide the differential equation governing the circuit. Attach your derivation of this differential equation . 2. Attach plots of the input step function you applied to the circuit and the resulting circuit step response. Annotate your plot to indicate the rise time, overshoot, and oscillation frequency. Provide the rise time, overshoot, and oscillation frequency . 3. Provide your estimate of the damping ratio, DC gain, and natural frequency, as determined from the step response data. 4. Compare your measured vs. expected parameters (e.g. damping ratio, natural frequency, damped natural frequency, rise time, steady state response). Where appropriate, express differences in terms of a percent of the expected value. Provide at least one reason why measured values might disagree with expectations based on your pre-lab analysis
