Objectives: After completion of this experiment, student will be able to design and setup an inverting amplifier using OP AMP. He/she will be able to design and implement OPAMP inverting amplifier circuit. Equipments/Components: Theory: It is a closed loop mode application of opamp and employs negative feedback. The R f and R i are the feedback and input resistance of the circuit respectively. The input terminals of the opamp draws no current because of the large differential input impedance. The potential difference across the input terminals of an opamp is zero because of the large open loop gain. Due to these two conditions, the inverting terminal is at virtual ground potential. So the current flowing through Ri and Rf are the same. I i = I f That is Vin/R i = - Vo /R f Therefore V o /V in = A v = - R f / R i, Here the Ve sign indicates that the output will be an amplified wave with 180 0 phase shift (inverted output). By varying the R f or R i, the gain of the amplifier can be varied to any desired value. Procedure 1. Check the components. 2. Setup the circuit on the breadboard and check the connections. 3.

Equipments/Components: Theory: Op-amp can be used to design a circuit whose output is the sum of several input signals. Such a circuit is called a summing amplifier or an adder. Summing amplifier can be classified as inverting & non-inverting summer depending on the input applied to inverting & non-inverting terminals respectively. Circuit Diagram shows an inverting summing amplifier with 2 inputs. Here the output will be amplified version of the sum of the two input voltages with 180 0 phase reversal.

Objectives: After completion of this experiment, student will be able to design and setup a difference amplifier using OP AMP. Equipments/Components: Theory: A difference amplifier is a circuit that gives the amplified version of the difference of the two inputs, Vo =A(V1-V2), Where V1 and V2 are the inputs and A is the voltage gain. Here input voltage V1 is connected to non-inverting terminal and V2 to the inverting terminal. This is also called as differential amplifier. Output of a differential amplifier can be determined using super position theorem. When V 1 =0, the circuit becomes an inverting amplifier with input V 2 and the resulting output is V 02 = -Rf /Ri (V 2 ). When V 2 =0, the circuit become a non-inverting amplifier with input V 1 and the resulting output is V 01 = Rf/Ri(V 1 ).

SCHMITT TRIGGER Aim: To design and setup a Schmitt trigger, plot the input output waveforms and measure V UT and V LT. Objectives: After completion of this experiment, student will be able to design and setup a Schmitt trigger circuit using OP AMP. Equipments/Components: Theory: It is a regenerative comparator or it is a comparator with hysteresis. This circuit uses positive feedback and the op-amp is operated in saturation. The output can take two values +Vsat and Vsat. When output = +Vsat, the voltage appearing at the non-inverting terminal is VUT or UTP= +Vsat(R1/R1+R2) called the upper threshold point. Similarly when output= - Vsat, the threshold the voltage appearing at the non-inverting terminal is VUT or UTP= - Vsat(R1/R1+R2)called the lower threshold point. When Vin is greater than UTP, the output will switch from +Vsat to Vsat. Similarly When Vin is less than LTP; the output will switch from -Vsat to +Vsat which is shown in the graph. The difference between UTP-LTP is called hysteresis. Hysteresis avoids false triggering of the circuit by noise. Hysteresis curve is the plot of Vo versus Vin.

Graph: Conclusion: RC PHASE SHIFT OSCILLATOR USING OP AMP Aim: To Design and setup a RC phase shift oscillator using Op-Amp 741 and (i) Plot the output waveform (ii) Measure the frequency of oscillation Objectives: After completion of this experiment the students are able to design and set up the RC phase shift oscillator for desired frequency. Equipments/Components: Theory: RC phase shift oscillator uses op-amp, in inverting amplifier mode and the circuit generates its own output signal. It consists of an op-amp as an amplifier and 3 RC cascaded network as the feedback circuit. Since the op-amp is used in the inverting mode, any signal that appears at the inverting terminal is shifted by 180 0 at the output. An additional 180 0 phase shift required for oscillation is provided by the cascaded RC network. Thus the total phase shift around the circuit is 360 0 or 0 0. At some specific frequency, the phase shift of the cascaded RC network is exactly 180 0 and feedback factor is 1/29. If the gain of the amplifier is 29, the total loop gain of the circuit becomes 1. The circuit will oscillate at this specific frequency and is given by Procedure: 1. Check the components. 2.

The feedback signal is connected in the non-inverting input terminal so that the amplifier is working in non-inverting mode. The Wien bridge circuit is connected between amplifier input terminal and output terminal. The bridge has a series RC network in one arm and a parallel RC network in the adjoining arm. In the remaining two arms of the bridge, resistor R1 and Rf are connected. The phase angle criterion for oscillation is that the total phase shift around the circuit must be zero. This condition occurs when bridge is balanced. At resonance, the frequency of oscillation is exactly the resonance frequency of balanced Wien bridge and is given by f 0 = 1/ (2ðRC). At this frequency, the gain required for sustained oscillation is 3.It is provided by the non-inverting amplifier with Gain = 1+ (Rf/R1) = 3 Procedure: 1. Check the components. 2.

When Vcc is first applied to the circuit (time t = 0), capacitor C T charges to 2/3 Vcc through RA & RB during time (t1 and then discharges to 1/3 Vcc through R B during time t2. The delay cycle can be controlled by selecting values for RA and RB as the voltage on CT swings between 2/3 Vcc and 1/3 Vcc as in Fig. 7. Therefore the frequency of oscillations depends only on the passive components RA RB and CT, and is independent of Vcc. Fig. 8 shows the actual wave form generated in this mode of operation. The charge time (output high) is given by: Fig. wave forms of pulse position modulator t1 = 0.685 (RA + RB) CT...

Jewel light will glow indicating that instrument is ready for use. observe the output wave form between the pin-3 and ground on CRO. Waveform at the output should be as shown in Fig. 11 and 13. Remarks: The duty cycle depends on the values of RA and RB and is equal to : RA + RB D = RA + 2 RB 27

It can be set from slightly above 50% to nearly 100%. The maximum duty cycle is the ON time divided by the total time which is approximately 100% - is developed when RA is as small as possible while still sufficiently large to limit the current through the discharge transistor to a level that does not exceed the value specified for the specific device. For duty cycles less than 50%, a diode D1 in Fig. 12 is connected between the discharge and threshold terminals. Capacitor CT now charges only through RA (RB is shorted by diode conduction during the charge cycle) and discharges through RB so the duty cycle is now RA D = (RA + 2 RB) and can be varied from almost 0 to nearly 100% Fig. 9 shows the wave forms as the duty cycle is decreased below 50%. The voltage drop across D1 will prevent the timing cycle from being completely independent of RB. This can be prevented by installing D2 in series with RB as shown. In some applications, it is needed to vary the duty cycle from about 0 to 100% while holding the frequency constant. In this case, replace RA and RB with a single linear post as in Fig. 4 (c). Resistors R1 and R2 approximately 1K ohms each are connected in series with the pot of 47K ohms. R1 limits the maximum current through the discharge transistor. Resistors R2 establishes a minimum value for RB and to compensate for the addition of R1 to the network. TO DESIGN, FABRICATE AND TEST A MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR. Theory: Circuit diagram of monostable multivibrator using IC 555 is given Fig. 15. To understand the working of monostable multivibrator, refer to the internal block diagram of IC 555. The external capacitor CT is initially held discharged by a transistor inside the timer. Upon application of a negative trigger pulse of less than 1/3 Vcc to trigger point (pin-2), the flipflop is set which then release the short circuit across the capacitor and drives the output high. Vcc=10V 330E 3 Fig. Monostable multivibrator r1 = 1k, ra = 2k7, rl = 1k, cd = 6800 pf, ct = 1µf The voltage across the capacitor, now, increases exponentially with the time constant ( t = 1.1 RACT). When the voltage across the capacitor equals 2/3 Vcc, the comparator resets the flipflop, which in turn discharges the capacitor rapidly, and drives the output to its low state. Fig. 16 shows the actual wave forms generated in this mode of operation. 28

Fig. Output wave forms The circuit triggers on a negative going input signal when the level reaches 1/3 Vcc. Once triggered, the circuit will remain in this state until the set time is elapsed, even if it is triggered again during this interval. The time that the output is in the high state is given by t = 1.1 RACT and can easily be determined by Fig. 17. Since the charge rate, and the threshold level of the comparator are both directly proportional to supply voltage, the timing interval is independent of supply. Applying a negative pulse to the reset terminal (pin 4) during the timing cycle, discharges the external capacitor and causes the cycle to start over again. The timing cycle will now commence on the positive edge of the reset pulse. During the time, the reset pulse is applied, the output is driven to its low states. When the reset function is not in use, it should be connected to Vcc to avoid any possibility of false triggering. 100 Design considerations: Capacitance - uf 10 1 0.1 0.01 0.001 10 100 1 10 100 1 10 u Sec. u Sec.

For this if we choose RA = 1K, then 29

Note the pulse duration on calibrated CRO. Remarks: Pulse duration can be varied by varying either RA or CT Fig. 15 shows the various possible combinations of RA and CT for different time delays. The graph is very important, when monostable multi, is used as a time delay circuit. TO STUDY THE FREQUENCY RESPONSE OF COMMON EMITTER AMPLIFIER AND CALCULATE ITS BANDWIDTH. Components/ Equipment: Theory: The common emitter configuration is widely used as a basic amplifier as it has both voltage and current amplification. Resistors R1 and R2 form a voltage divider across the base of the transistor. The function of this network is to provide necessary bias condition and ensure that emitter-base junction is operating in the proper region. In order to operate transistor as an amplifier, biasing is done in such a way that the operating point is in the active region. For an amplifier the Q-point is placed so that the load line is bisected. Therefore, in practical design V CE is always set to V CC /2. This will confirm that the Q-point always swings within the active region. This limitation can be explained by maximum signal handling capacity. For the maximum input signal, output is produced without any distortion and clipping. The Bypass Capacitor: The emitter resistor R E is required to obtain the DC quiescent point stability. However the inclusion of R E in the circuit causes a decrease in amplification at higher frequencies. In order to avoid such a condition, it is bypassed by a capacitor so that it acts as a short circuit for AC 30

and contributes stability for DC quiescent condition. Hence capacitor is connected in parallel with emitter resistance. The Input/ Output Coupling (or Blocking) Capacitor: An amplifier amplifies the given AC signal. In order to have noiseless transmission of a signal (without DC) ), it is necessary to block DC i.e. the direct current should not enter the amplifier or load. This is usually accomplished by inserting a coupling capacitor between two stages. XC C << ( R i h ie ) C C - Output Coupling Capacitor C B - Input Coupling Capacitor Frequency response of Common Emitter Amplifier: Emitter bypass capacitors are used to short circuit the emitter resistor and thus increases the gain at high frequency. The coupling and bypass capacitors cause the fall of the signal in the low frequency response of the amplifier because their impedance becomes large at low frequencies. The stray capacitances are effectively open circuits. In the mid frequency range large capacitors are effectively short circuits and the stray capacitors are open circuits, so that no capacitance appears in the mid frequency range. Hence the mid band frequency gain is maximum. At the high frequencies, the bypass and coupling capacitors are replaced by short circuits. The stray capacitors and the transistor determine the response. Characteristics of CE Amplifier: 1. Large current gain. 2. Large voltage gain. 3. Large power gain. 4. Current and voltage phase shift of 180 0. 5. Moderated output resistance. 31

These are shown as f L and f H and are called as the 3dB frequencies (Lower and Upper Cut-Off Frequencies respectively). The difference between higher cut-off and lower cut-off frequency is referred to as bandwidth (f H - f L ). Fig: Frequency Response Curve Calculations from the graph Bandwidth = f H f L (in Hz) Observation tables: V S = 50mV Frequency Vo(Volts) Gain = Vo/Vs Gain(dB) = 20 log(vo/vs) Result: Common Emitter Amplifier is studied and its Bandwidth is calculated. 1.

RC OSCILLATORS Objective: 1) To study the characteristics of RC Phase shift oscillators. Equipments Components 1- Dual Power supply 2- Oscilloscope 3- Operational amplifier 4- Transistors 5- Components as shown in figures 6- Function generator Theory The oscillator is an amplifier with positive feedback that generates a number of waveforms usually used in instrumentation and test equipments. An oscillator that generates a sinusoidal output is called a harmonic oscillator; the transistor is usually acts in the active region. The output of the relaxation oscillator is not sinusoidal depending on the transient rise and decay of voltage in RC or RL circuits. 1. Phase shift oscillators in which the output of an amplifier must be 180 o out of phase with input. A general circuit diagram of a phase shift oscillator is shown in Fig.(l), where the amplifier is an ideal one. A phase shift network (usually a resistor-capacitor network) is used to produce an additional phase shift of 180 at one particular frequency to develop the required positive feedback. From the mesh network equations of the feedback network, we find the feedback factor β as, 34

The phase shift of the feedback network must be 180 then: At this frequency = 1/29 and it is required that (A) must be at least 29 to satisfy oscillation condition as shown in Fig.(2). The phase shift oscillator is used to the range of frequencies for several hertz to several kilohertz and so includes the range of audio frequencies. The frequency depends on the impedance elements in the phase shift network. The phase shift oscillator circuit is not very suitable for generating variable frequency because the resistors and capacitors must be simultaneously changed to obtain the required frequency control over a wide range therefore it is used mostly in fixed frequency applications. Procedure 7. Connect the circuit as shown in Fig.(2), insert potentiometer of l k in the feedback arm. 8. Measure the frequency of oscillation (f o ) and the amplitude of the output voltage. 9.

TRANSISTOR POWER AMPLIFIERS OBJECTIVE: To study some important aspects of different power amplifiers configurations. EQUIPMENTS AND COMPONENTS: 1. Signal generator 2. DC Power supply 3. Oscilloscope 4. AVO meter 5. Transistor and components as shown in Fig.(2) and Fig.(4). THEORY: An amplifier designed to deliver electric power to a desired load is known as a power amplifier. Power amplifiers find applications in transmitter, servomotor amplifiers, industrial control circuits, and audio amplifiers. In general, power amplifiers designed to del1iver the maximum power output at the highest efficiency. Since power amplifiers inherently involve excursions in voltage and current, the transistor may operated in the non-linear regions of the characteristic curve resulting distortion in the output. Furthermore, the transistor subjected to large values of current and voltage, thermal instability may become a problem and thus the power amplifier must biased to guard against thermal runaway. Depending on their operation, power amplifiers can be grouped into four main classes: - CLASS A operation - CLASS AB operation - CLASS B operation - CLASS C operation The output signal as result of a sinusoidal input signal for each of the four classes can show in Fig.(1). In class A operation, the entire input signal is reproduced faithfully at the output resulting minimum distortion. The power delivered by the power supply is constant and not affected by input signal. This means that, power being dissipated by the circuit even through no signal is present. Further more, the maximum lower dissipated in the transistor under up signal condition. Therefore the efficiency in class A operation is poor. Fig.(2 ) shows the typical circuit used for class A power amplification. 37

In class AB operation output (collector) current flows for more than half of the input signal cycle. Hence, more than half of the signal is amplify and appears at the output. Class A Class AB Class B Class C Fig.(1): Signal waveform for Classes (A, AB, C, D) In class B operation, exactly half of the input signal appears amplified at the output. Transistor is biased such that Ic =0. Therefore the amplifier dissipates power only when it is being used to amplify signal (input signal present). Hence, the efficiency is higher but the distortions are considerable. In order to obtain high efficiency and low distortion, circuit shown in Fig.(3) is used. This is known as PUSH PULL amplifier. In positive half cycle one transistor provides output current while in negative half cycle other transistor provides output current. By this way output current is continuous. Fig.(2) : shows type of coupling In class C operation, somewhat less than half of the input signal appears amplified at the output. The output signal waveform is high distorted and rich in 38

harmonic. Generally, in class C amplifier, load is a tuned circuit, which selects the fundamental or the desired harmonic rejecting all other frequency components. Efficiency in class C amplifier is the highest. These generally used to amplify radiofrequency (r.f.) single in transmitters. PROCEDURE: 1. Connect the circuit as shown in Fig.(2a).

Then measure rms output voltage (hence calculates rms and average current). Repeat step 4. 7. Adjust V BB to obtain Ic = 0 (class B operation). Repeat step 6. 8. Adjust V BB = -0.5 volt. Measure VBE, VCE and Ic. 9. Apply a sinusoidal input signal of magnitude apply in step 3. Draw input and output waveform. Then calculate efficiency. 10. Connect the circuit as shown in Fig.(3). Measure the dc current pass through each transistor. 11. Measure the ac and dc current pass through the load. Then calculate efficiency. Graph: Conclusion: 40
