Lab# 06 Operational Amplifiers: Characteristics and Essential Usage. in Lab-Tasks

This document summarizes a lab experiment on operational amplifiers. The lab included 6 tasks: 1) offset nulling, 2) testing open loop performance as a comparator, 3) measuring bandwidth, 4) measuring common mode rejection ratio (CMRR), 5) using a voltage follower configuration, and 6) measuring slew rate. Three questions were asked about the significance of CMRR, significance of slew rate, and whether op-amps can be used in open loop configurations. The analysis concluded that the lab helped learn about open loop, closed loop, and voltage follower modes by building circuits and monitoring results.

POST-LAB TASKS:

Question1: What is the significance of CMRR in op-amp?


Answer:
Common mode gain is how much of the common input signal gets passed through to the
output side divided by the differential input signal. One of the most important thing to
remember is that CMRR tells how well a differential input amplifier rejects noise that is
common to both input lines. A high CMRR is important when the signal of interest is a small
voltage fluctuation superimposed on a large voltage offset. CMRR in an OP-AMP means
Common Mode Rejection ratio. The primary job of an op-amp is to amplify the differential
voltage applied between the inverting and non inverting terminal { (V+) - (V-) }.

Question2: What is the significance of slew rate in op-amp?


Answer:
Slew rate is defined as the maximum rate of change of an op amp's output voltage and is given
units of volts per microsecond. Slew rate is measured by applying a large signal step, such as
1V, to the input of the op amp, and measuring the rate of change from 10% to 90% of the
output signal's amplitude.

Question3: Can you use op-amp practically in open loop configuration? Explain.
Answer:
Yes, we can use op-amp practically in open loop configuration as we have done this in task 3.
Here, an operational amplifier is shown without a feedback loop, in order to illustrate some of
its fundamental properties. Operational amplifiers are almost never used in this way because
open loop gain is far too high to be useful. When there is no feedback resistor (and other
passive components), given from the output back to the inverting terminal/non-inverting
terminal (based on the Op-Amp configuration used), the operational amplifier is said to be in
open loop.

CRITICAL ANAYSIS:
In this lab we have learned about different modes of an op-amp. In open-loop,
closed-loop, and voltage follower we carried out the circuits on hardware and
results from the oscilloscope. Exceptional voltages and profits of each open and
closed-loop operational amplifiers were being monitored. Slew rate of an op-amp
was also being measured.
