Lecture 16: Electrical Engineering II EEN 112: Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Eric Rozier, 4/10/13
Midterm Grades • Midterm I • Average: C+ • 25% - B+ • 50% - B- • 75% - C- • Midterm II • Average: B • 25% - A • 50% - B • 75% - C
Course Grades • Average: A- • 25% - A • 50% - A- • 75% - B
The Importance of Trust • Sarbanes-Oxley Act • HIPAA • California Proposition 11 • FISMA • Massachusetts 201 CMR 17.00 Over 10,000 regulations
Reliability • What responsibilities do we have as engineers to preserve information? • Should we be liable if our systems fail in these ways? • What limits should there be to liability? • Can a system ever be fully reliable? • What responsibility do we have to report the limits to our systems reliability?
High Frequency Trading • Algorithmic trading, seeks to exploit small differences in prices, millions of programs running • How do they interact? • How does somethingwritten by Company Aaffect somethingwritten by Company B?
High Frequency Trading • 2010 Flash Crash – largest intraday point loss • Losses recovered in minutes, but scared regulatory bodies • US SEC and CFTCconsluded that HFTcontributed to thevolatility.
High Frequency Trading • SEC and FTC stated – “market makers and other liquidity providers widened their quote spreads, reduced liquidity, and withdrew from the market” • Some signal set offtheir algorithms,caused a jointmovement whichhelped cause the crash
High Frequency Trading • What responsibility do we have to prevent disasters? • What happens when our duty to our employermight conflict? • How do we weighour responsibilities?
The broader world is complex • Critical thinking • Awareness of situations and consequences • Working with regulators, and employers • Maintaining integrity
Resistors • What do the bands mean?
Ohm’s Law • Resistance, Voltage, and Current are related… • V – • I – • R –
POWER!!! • P = V I • V = I R, so… • P = (I R) I = I^2 R • I = V/R, so… • P = V (V/R) = V^2/R
LED • Light Emitting Diode • Diode that emits light (fancy that!) • Low power, bright • Come in various colors • Using LEDs • Use in correct orientation • Use a current limiting resistor!!!
LED History • Invented in 1962 by Dr. Nick Holonyak while at General Electric • Dr. Craford (Dr. Holonyak’s student) invented the first colored LED • First LEDs produced by Monsanto Company in 1968
Semiconductors • Electrical conductivity between a conductor and an insulator • Conductivity increases with temperature • P-type semiconductor • Excess holes • N-type semiconductor • Excess free electrons • “Doping” sets these properties
Doping • Not just for the Tour de France! • Introduce impurities • Gallium Arsenic gas very popular • Grow silicon in an environment with the impurities in certain concentrations
P-Type? HOLES!
N-Type? FREE ELECTRONS!
P-Type? HOLES!
N-Type? FREE ELECTRONS!
Semiconductors • Both P and N junctions are relatively conductive… under the right circumstances • Junctions get depleted of charge
LEDs • Often used as indicator lights • More recently for • TVs • Flash lights • Light bulbs • Jumbo-tron displays
