Homework Assignment 6
Quiz 4 (Next Tuesday, 7/29)
Study the following slides from Chapter 3C and 3D lecture notes.
Chapter 3C slides
3,4, 5, 6, 7,8
Chapter 3D slides

System Application/Troubleshooter's Bench Project
As discussed in last weeks class (7/15), this System Application Assignment will cover the Lab Final Exam Grade (15%) for the course. Read this section carefully as additional information will be provided to assist in completing this assignment. To illustrate how a BJT can be used to control an electromechanical load, a hands-on project will be added to this assignment, whereby a transistor relay driver circuit used to control a 7 Segment LED display and a small dc motor must be built and demonstrated on Final Exam day. Details on this project will be provided prior to the project date as well.
