Electronics and Circuits Laboratory
The lab is equipped with equipment such as DSO(100 MHZ), CRO(30 MHz), Function Generator (3 MHz), Single Power Supply (0-32V), Dual Power Supply (0-32V), Digital & Analog Trainer Kit, Digital & Analog IC Tester and meters with various ranges. The cathode ray oscilloscope is used to display measure and analyze various waveforms of various electronic circuits. Digital storage oscilloscope is an oscilloscope which stores and analyses the signal digitally rather than using analogue techniques. It is now the most common type of oscilloscope in use because of the advanced trigger, storage, display and measurement features which it typically provides.
Microprocessor Laboratory
Microprocessor Laboratory is equipped with 8086 and 8051 Trainer kits. A microprocessor is designed to perform arithmetic and logic operations that makes use of registers.
Typical microprocessor operations includes adding, subtracting, comparing two numbers and fetching numbers from one memory space to another.
These operations are the result of a set of instructions that are part of the microprocessor design.
Stepper motor Controller, ADC, DAC, Keyboard and Display controller(8279) can be interfaced with 8086 and 8051 for conducting interfacing based experiments.
