Lab2 tutorial builds on Lab1 tutorial

You may need to repeat Lab1 tutorial to perform Lab2 tutorial.


Visit:    http://www.linear.com/   to download and install the program LTspice on your own computer. You do not need to register if you do not want to. The installation is then "straightforward" as described on the website. The program is available for most operating systems, but this tutorial describes the appearance under Windows

Course simulation files

The program is installed on school computers in lab Ka-305 and in computer room Ka-309. In school you have to unzip the course simulation files in your server folder as    H:\IE1204 . (at home you can unzip the files in any folder place).
You start  LTSpice by doubleclick on any    *.asc  - file.
(You can also start  the program scad.gif LTSpice from the start menu).

  If you click on the simulation icon in the program a simulaton will start with the settings we have choosen for you. Then you can simply proceed by changing values and other preferences to explore all the course circuits!

Simulation of sequency circuits

sequency_circuit.gif

A sequential circuit can produce different outputs for the same input signal combination. The circuit has an internal "memory function" that takes into account what has happened previously.

To test such circuits must be able to generate sequences of signals. Since this is a course in Digital technology we choose to generate sequences with digital components!

The digital component that is commonly used for converting parallel to serial data is the shift register. The 74166 is such a shift register. The parallel 8-bit value is loaded into the input terminals and then shifted out serially. (As used in file  sequence_test.asc  ).

Move the mouse over an input so that the pointer switches to the I-shape, right-click, and then write 1 or 0, to connect the input to the desired level of the voltage source.

The set is then shifted out serially. With more shift registers, we can generate longer sequences of input combinations.

Voltage sources in the schematic emit pulses that control the shift register during the simulation. They do not need to be changed.

Latch with NOR-gates ( before lab Sequence circuits )

sr_test.gif

At the lab, you should connect, and test, a latch with NOR gates (7402). The input signals a and b shall comply with one five-step sequence as shown.  This is how we are simulating the circuit.

Open the template file    sequence_test.asc  and save it as    sequence_latch.asc.  The file contains two shift registers for the signals a and b. Edit so that the sequence becomes the desired.

 Component, Browse to the folder with the course files and then select the component 74HCT02.

 Draw the schematic
If you place the   input and output with     Label Net   there is no need to do so much wiring.

 Run. Simulate.

Clocked D-flip-flop  (before lab sequence circuits)

What happens to a D-flip-flop that has its D input connected to its inverted output?  


74hct74.gif  change_v.gif  clock.gif

 Component. 74HCT74.    Component.  voltage.    Then Change the voltage source with Advanced  and  PULSE   to get a number of clock pulses.

Draw the following schematic:

 Run. Simulate.  Now you know what happens!

Gray-code up/down-counter   ( before lab Sequence circuits )

gray_counter.bmp

Started, but not finished file:    gray_counter.asc

Complete the drawing. Connect the  input  name to the  output  names, depending on what you come up to under the preparatory task..

 Run. Simulate first with x = 0 and then with x = 1.


Shiftregister-counter   ( before lab Sequence circuits )

74175inside.gif

At the lab, we use a compact circuit 74175 with 4 D-flip-flops, where all the flip-flops reset inputs are connected to the same pin. It is easy to reset the flip-flops, but how does one go about to set them to any value? At the lab, you will learn how to do this by connecting them as a PRBS generator.

Here we instead simulate the shift register counters with the 7474 flip-flops witch have access to both the PRESET and CLEAR inputs to set the flip-flops to an arbitrary initial state.

Readymade file:    ring.asc.

You can set other start sequences by editing the INIT signal to different PRE and CLR inputs..
