The power supply's 3rd channel can only supply 5V. Since you will most conveniently supply power to the IC (pin 14) from that channel, you cannot use 10V. So let's just use 5V instead.

P.S: Background explanation: 1) You need a seperate channel for pin 14 from the one providing the drain voltage, since you want to measure the current going to the drain accurately. 2) Pin 14 is also used for protecting any input against voltages higher than Vdd, so it needs to be the highest voltage on the chip too. So using 10V on the drain and only 5V on pin 14 would not work either...

All 2024 videos are now available without an extra step to approve access here:

You can also navigate ther from the semester page clicking on 'Videomappe, lenke til videomappe i Panopto -> 2024_podcasts'

some of you discovered that you do not find the drive m: on the lab machines (while you DO find it on the 'Lab Net Workstation' as well as on Linux on ifi Workstation and rh7login.ifi.uio.no as /hom/<username> )

This can be rectified via a very circuitous route:

On the lab Windows computer:

1) Start the program 'Firmaportal' or 'Company Portal'

2) In 'Firmaportal' find 'UiO Legacy Home Drive' and install/run it.

3) Now you DO have access to your home drive, but seemingly not as drive m:. Instead you have to click on 'This PC' and you'll find it as 'Nettverkplasseringer -> Home Drive'

So now you should have a drive that you can access from all machines at UiO, Linux or Windows. If you work from home, you will not have access to it directly from your home machine though. For that you can open Omniss...

It appears that students from 2025 do not get automatic access to the podcasts from 2024. For now, as you try to access a 2024 podcast, I get a notification and have to approve access individually for each video and student. So there will be delay. Sorry for that!

In the meantime I am investigating how to rectify that and automatically grant access to all students and all 2024 videos. Let's hope this can be done!

Unfortunately the podcast of the 21-Jan lecture is without sound, or more precisely with just noise on the audio track. Please read the compendium on the subject of 'large signal models' if you have not been to the lecture, or have a look at last year's recording of approximately the same content (we got through a bit more stuff then) here: https://uio.cloud.panopto.eu/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=466b46cc-4c35-4c80-9b0f-b0f900da9b91

Due to some sick days and issues with lab software, the labs will start in the first February week, i.e. a week later than originally indicated on the web-page.

I have updated the compendium to edition 1.1, now downloadable for logged in students from Leganto.

Notable addition: appendix C with Matlab code for EKV model.
