Here is a set of resources that I've developed while a faculty member at the Colorado School of Mines. These resources come in two flavors:
The labs presented here require students to predict circuit behavior using circuit theory, simulate the circuit, and then build the circuit. The first two sets of labs below require multiple lab session to complete, showing students how combine building block circuits to produce complex behavior.
- The design/test/assembly of a BJT curve tracer on a custom PCB. Based on w2aew's design presented on this YouTube video.
- The design/test/assembly of an audio amplifier and audio frequency filters on a custom PCB.
- The analysis of a prebuilt, fully analog, PID controller.
- The analysis of a prebuilt full-bridge Rectifier/Buck converter.
I remember working problems from Schaums outline series as an undergraduate. Working a long series of similar but distinct circuit problems helped me hone my skill. Most textbooks have a small set of problems to work; a volume that did not consistently produce mastery in my students. So I spent a summer writing the circuit problems that you will find here. This is a work in progress and I would certianly apprecaite any suggestions for problems to add.
