Department of Electrical, Electronics and Communication Engineering
Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad
Made in Electronic Lab (CIF-201)
In our electronic laboratory, we have successfully developed various circuits and equipment. These advancements have enhanced our self-reliance and significantly reduced the overall laboratory budget. Some of the key developments in the laboratory include the following
EUROPA - Regulated DC Power supply

Comparing our achievement to the commercial market, where similar power supplies fetch prices nearly five times higher, underscores the significance of our accomplishment. This underscores our commitment to providing cost-effective yet high-quality solutions to our community. Looking ahead, we are excited to share that our focus now extends to designing additional equipment such as oscilloscopes and function generators. With these endeavors, we are poised to establish a fully in-house developed ecosystem of electronic equipment, marking a new chapter in our journey towards technological self-reliance. Together, let us continue to strive for excellence and make impactful contributions to the world of electronics and beyond.
​We are thrilled to announce a significant achievement in our Electronics lab with the development of regulated DC power supplies. These power supplies, meticulously designed and developed by Manjunath S Koparde (JTS) under the guidance of Prof. Naveen Kadayinti, represent a remarkable fusion of innovation and practicality. One of the distinguishing features of our power supplies is the utilization of low-cost components readily available in the local market. This not only ensures affordability but also reduces the maintenance cost, thus making them highly sustainable solutions for our institute. With the aim of alleviating the institute's financial burden, we have successfully ensured that the entire cost of each power supply remains below five thousand rupees.

NIBBLE - MAX3000A based CPLD Board

The CPLD board, designed and developed by Manjunath S. Koparde, JTS Electronics Laboratory (CIF-201), the board is utilized in the undergraduate digital system design laboratory. This board is powered by an EPM3064ATC44-10N CPLD IC, which drives its functionality. It includes eight on-board input switches, allowing users to provide input data directly to the CPLD. Additionally, the board features eight output LEDs, which serve as indicators for verifying various output combinations. Programming of the board is accomplished using an ALTERA BUS Blaster cable, ensuring seamless configuration. The board is powered via a Type-B USB bus cable connected to a computer, making it convenient to use without the need for an external power supply.
RealTime 200 KHz Dual Channel Oscilloscope

The dual-channel real-time oscilloscope with 200 KHz bandwidth is designed and developed by Manjunath S. Koparde under the guidance of Prof. Naveen Kadayinti. The oscilloscope is computer-powered, and waveforms are viewed through a Python-based application that can be installed on a computer or laptop. Built using locally available components to reduce cost, the design is budget-friendly and user-friendly, with the application being compatible with both Linux and Windows operating systems.
