California University of Pennsylvania Department of Applied Engineering & Technology Electrical / Computer Engineering Technology EET 215: Introduction to Instrumentations Lab No.5b Operational Amplifier Names: Signature: Date 1. 2. 3.
Operational Amplifiers Objective of the Experiment The main objective of this experiment is to understand the basic functions of an operational amplifier Learning Outcomes Students will demonstrate: - the ability to understand the inverting and the noninverting voltage amplifiers - the ability to use modern tools and demonstrate troubleshooting skills CAUTION: It is imperative that students exercise care when handling the ELVIS unit. Make sure all connections are correctly made. When in doubt, check with your instructor to verify proper circuit connections. Introduction The LM741 is a general purpose operational amplifier.

A- Inverting amplifier- Basic With the power to the board initially turned OFF, a- In the space provided below, draw a basic inverting amplifier circuit to have a theoretical voltage gain of -10. Use for Ri the value of (1KΩ, OR 2.2 KΩ.) b- Construct the circuit and apply a sine wave input. The sine wave is at 100Hz and 2Vp-p. c- Neatly, sketch the input and output waveforms. (Same as with previous experiments, connect the input and output to the proper input channels on the ELVIS board. Also, make sure the scope is on dc coupling and that the vertical positions are set to zero.) 15 10 5 0-5 -10-15 0 0.005 0.01 0.015 0.02 0.025 0.03 0.035 0.04 time, sec. d- The input and the output are said to be -------- degrees out of phase.
