 About the uA741 Op-amp IC
The 741 IC was designed by Dave Fullagar of Fairchild Semiconductor in 1968. The 741 IC
is the successful predecessor of the LM 101 IC, and the only difference between the two was
that an additional 30pF internal compensation capacitor was added for the 741 IC. But, this
simple addition has made this IC evergreen in the electronics world and is still manufactured
by different companies in different versions and specifications, and is made recognizable by
adding the famous number 741 in the series.

The 741 IC is available in the market as 8-pin metal can, 10-pin flat pack, 8 or 14 pin DIP.
The pin configuration for 8 pin metal can package is shown below.

Theory:

As the open loop DC gain of an operational amplifier is extremely high we can therefore afford to lose
some of this high gain by connecting a suitable resistor across the amplifier from the output terminal
back to the inverting input terminal to both reduce and control the overall gain of the amplifier. This
then produces and effect known commonly as Negative Feedback, and thus produces a very stable
Operational Amplifier based system.

Negative Feedback
but to make the feedback negative, we must feed it back to
of the op-amp using an external Feedback Resistor called
output and the inverting input terminal forces the differential input voltage towards zero.
This effect produces a closed loop circuit to the amplifier resulting in the gain of the amplifier now
being called its Closed-loop Gain. Then a closed-loop inverting amplifier uses negative feedback to
accurately control the overall gain of the amplifier, but at a cost in the reduction of the amplifiers gain.

Theory:

Differentiator:

An op-amp differentiator or a differentiating amplifier is a circuit configuration which produces output

voltage amplitude that is proportional to the rate of change of the applied input voltage.A differentiator
with only RC network is called a passive differentiator, whereas a differentiator with active circuit
components like transistors and operational amplifiers is called an active differentiator. Active
differentiators have higher output voltage and much lower output resistance than simple RC
differentiators.

An op-amp differentiator is an inverting amplifier, which uses a capacitor in series with the input
voltage. Differentiating circuits are usually designed to respond for triangular and rectangular input
waveforms. For a sine wave input, the output of a differentiator is also a sine wave, which is out of
phase by 180o with respect to the input (cosine wave).

Differentiators have frequency limitations while operating on sine wave inputs; the circuit attenuates
all low frequency signal components and allows only high frequency components at the output. In
other words, the circuit behaves like a high-pass filter.
INTEGRATOR:

In an integrating circuit, the output is the integration of the input voltage with respect to time. A
passive integrator is a circuit which does not use any active devices like op-amps or transistors.

An integrator circuit which consists of active devices is called an Active integrator. An active
integrator provides a much lower output resistance and higher output voltage than is possible with a
simple RC circuit.

Op-amp differentiating and integrating circuits are inverting amplifiers, with appropriately placed
capacitors. Integrator circuits are usually designed to produce a triangular wave output from a square
wave input. Integrating circuits have frequency limitations while operating on sine wave input signals.

6. CRO

Theory:

Instrumentation amplifier is a kind of differential amplifier with additional input buffer stages. The
addition of input buffer stages makes it easy to match (impedance matching) the amplifier with the
preceding stage. Instrumentation are commonly used in industrial test and measurement application.
The instrumentation amplifier also has some useful features like low offset voltage, high CMRR
(Common mode rejection ratio), high input resistance, high gain etc.

The two non-inverting amplifiers form a differential input stage acting as buffer amplifiers with a gain
of 1 + 2R2/R1 for differential input signals and unity gain for common mode input signals. Since
amplifiers A1 and A2 are closed loop negative feedback amplifiers, we can expect the voltage at Va to
be equal to the input voltage V1. Likewise, the voltage at Vb to be equal to the value at V2.

As the op-amps take no current at their input terminals (virtual earth), the same current must flow
through the three resistor network of R2, R1 and R2 connected across the op-amp outputs. This
means then that the voltage on the upper end of R1 will be equal to V1and the voltage at the lower
end of R1 to be equal to V2.

The voltage output from the differential op-amp acting as a subtractor, is simply the difference
between its two inputs ( ) and which is amplified by the gain of which may be one, unity,
(assuming that ). Then we have a general expression for overall voltage gain of the
instrumentation amplifier circuit as:

6. CRO

Theory:
A filter is often used in electronic circuits to block (or allow) a select frequency to the
circuit. An op-amp is used to design a filters, so it is called Active filters. There are Four types
active filters like Low pass, High pass, band pass and band stop . A low pass filter is used in
circuits that only allow low frequencies to pass through (below the Cutoff frequency). It is
often used to block high frequencies and AC current in a circuit.A high pass filter is used in
circuits that only require high frequencies to operate (above the cut off frequency). It blocks
most low frequencies & DC component.A band pass filter is a combination of a high pass and
a low pass filter. It allows only a select range of frequencies to pass through. It is designed
such a way that the cut off frequency of the low pass filter is higher than the cut off frequency
of the high pass filter, hence allowing only a select range of the frequencies to pass through.

Procedure:
6. Connections are given as per the circuit diagram.
7. Input signal is connected to the circuit from the signal generator.
8. The input and output signals of the filter channels 1 and 2 of the CRO are connected.

Second order High Pass Filter:

The high pass filter is the complement of the low pass filter. Thus the high pass filter can be
obtained by interchanging R and C in the circuit of low pass configuration. A high pass filter allows
only frequencies above a certain bread point to pass through and at terminates the low frequency
components. The range of frequencies beyond its lower cut off frequency fL is called stop band.

Theory:

AstableMultivibrator: The Op-amp Multivibrator is an astable oscillator circuit that generates a

rectangular output waveform using an RC timing network connected to the inverting input of the
operational amplifier and a voltage divider network connected to the other non-inverting input.
Unlike the monostable or bistable, the astablemultivibrator has two states, neither of which are stable
as it is constantly switching between these two states with the time spent in each state controlled by the
charging or discharging of the capacitor through a resistor.
However, because the open-loop op-amp comparator is very sensitive to the voltage changes on its
inputs, the output can switch uncontrollably between its positive, +V(sat)and negative, -V(sat) supply
rails whenever the input voltage being measured is near to the reference voltage, VREF.
Op-amp MonostableMultivibrator (one-shot multivibrator) circuits are positive-feedback (or
regenerative) switching circuits that have only one stable state, producing an output pulse of a
specified duration T.
An external trigger signal is applied for it to change state and after a set period of time, either in
microseconds, milliseconds or seconds, a time period which is determined by RC components, the
monostable circuit then returns back to its original stable state were it remains until the next trigger
input signal arrives.
Procedure:
1. Make the connections as shown in the circuit diagram
2. Keep the CRO channel switch in ground and adjust the horizontal line on the x axis so that it
coincides with the central line.
3. Select the suitable voltage sensitivity and time base on the CRO.

the circuit.

oscillation and the amplitude. Compare with the designed value.

6. CRO

Theory:

If the input to a comparator contains noise, the output may be erratic ,when v in is near a trip point. For
instance, with a zero crossing, the output is low when vin is positive and high when vin is negative. If
the input contains a noise voltage with a peak of 1mV or more, then the comparator will detect the zero
crossing produced by the noise. This can be avoided by using a Schmitt trigger, circuit which is
basically a comparator with positive feedback. Because of the voltage divider circuit, there is a
positive feedback voltage. When OPAMP is positively saturated, a positive voltage is feedback to the
non-inverting input, this positive voltage holds the output in high stage. (vin<vf). If Vin is less than
Vref output will remain +Vsat. When input vin exceeds Vref = +Vsat the output switches from +Vsat to
Vsat. Then the reference voltage is given by When the output voltage is negatively saturated, a negative
voltage feedback to the inverting input, holding the output in low state. If vin <Vref i.e. vin becomes
more negative than Vsat then again output switches to +Vsat and so on.

Procedure:

1. Connect the circuit as shown in the circuit

2. Set the input voltage as 5V (p-p) at 1KHz. (Input should be always less than Vcc)
3. Note down the output voltage at CRO

RC Phase shift oscillator:

The frequency at which a sinusoidal oscillator will operate is the frequency for which the total phase
shift introduced, as the signal proceeds form the input terminals, through the amplifier and feed back
network and back again to the input is precisely zero or an integral multiple of 2 . Thus the frequency
of oscillation is determined by the condition that the loop phase shift is zero and closed loop gain
Barkhausen criterion

This op-amp is operated in inverting mode and hence the output signal of the op-amp is shifted by 180
degrees to the input signal appeared at inverting terminal. And an additional 180 degrees phase shift is
provided by the RC feedback network and hence the condition for obtaining the oscillations.

The Wien Bridge Oscillator is so called because the circuit is based on a frequency-selective form of
the Wheatstone bridge circuit. The Wien Bridge oscillator is a two-stage RC coupled amplifier circuit
that has good stability at its resonant frequency, low distortion and is very easy to tune making it a
popular circuit as an audio frequency oscillator but the phase shift of the output signal is considerably
different from the previous phase shift RC Oscillator.
The Wien Bridge Oscillator uses a feedback circuit consisting of a series RC circuit connected with a
parallel RC of the same component values producing a phase delay or phase advance circuit depending
upon the frequency. At the resonant frequency the phase shift is 0o

The PLL IC 565 is usable over the frequency range 0.1 Hz to 500 kHz. It has highly stable centre
frequency and is able to achieve a very linear FM detection. The output of VCO is capable of
producing TTL compatible square wave. The dual supply is in the range of ±6V to ±12V. The IC can
also be operated from single supply in the range 12V to 24V.

The phase locked loop consists of a phase detector, a voltage control oscillator and, in between them,
a low pass filter is fixed. The input signal

the feedback frequency fo. The output of the phase detector is (fi+fo) which is a DC voltage. The out

Theory:

A digital-to-analog converter (DAC, D/A, D2A or D-to-A) is a circuit that converts digital data
(usually binary) into an analog signal (current or voltage). One important specification of a DAC is its
resolution. It can be defined by the numbers of bits or its step size. Wide range of resistors used
Weighted Resistor type DAC. This can be avoided by using R-2R ladder type DAC where only two
values of resistors are required.

Theory:

The power supply received at the load end or consumer end has fluctuations in the voltage levels due
to irregular loads or based condition of the local power grid. These voltage fluctuationsmay lead to the
reduction of lifespan ofthe electrical and electronic appliances of the consumer or damage to the
loads. So, it is required to protect loads from over and under voltages or need to provide a constant
voltage to the loads and to maintain stability in system voltage using regulation technique. Voltage
regulation can be defined as maintaining constant voltage or maintaining the voltage level of a system
within acceptable limits over a wide range of load conditions and thus, voltage regulators are used for
voltage regulation. For linear voltage regulation, occasionally adjustable LM317 voltage regulators are
used wherein non-standard voltage is intended.

Voltage Regulator
LM317 Voltage Regulator

It is a type of positive-linear-voltage regulators used for voltage regulation, which is invented by

Robert C. Dobkin and Robert J. Widlar while they worked at National Semiconductor in 1970. It is a
three-terminal-adjustable-voltage regulator and is easy to use because to set the output voltage it
requires only two external resistors in LM317 voltage regulator circuit. It is majorly used for local and
on card regulation. If we connect a fixed resistor between the output and adjustment of LM317
regulator, then the LM317 circuit can be used as a precise current regulator.

The three terminals are input pin, output pin and adjustment pin. The LM317 circuit is shown in the
below figure is a typical configuration of the LM317 voltage regulator circuit diagram including the
decoupling capacitors. This LM317 circuit is capable to provide variable DC power supply with output
of 1A and can be adjusted up to 30V.

IC723 Voltage regulator:
The 723 voltage regulator is commonly used for series voltage regulator applications. It can be used as
both positive and negative voltage regulator. It has an ability to provide up to 150 mA of current to the
load, but this can be increased more than 10A by using power transistors. It also comes with
comparatively low standby current drain, and provision is made for either linear or fold-back current
limiting. LM723 IC can also be used as a temperature controller, current regulator or shunt regulator
and it is available in both Dual-In-Line and Metal Can packages. The input voltage ranges from 9.5 to
40V and it can regulate voltage from 2V to 37V.

Aim:

To study the working of Switched mode power supply (SMPS) .

Theory of SMPS:

Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) Like a linear power supply, the switched mode power supply
too converts the available unregulated ac or dc input voltage to a regulated dc output voltage. However
in case of SMPS with input supply drawn from the ac mains, the input voltage is first rectified and
filtered using a capacitor at the rectifier output. The unregulated dc voltage across the capacitor is then
fed to a high frequency dc-to-dc converter. Most of the dc-to-dc converters used in SMPS circuits have
an intermediate high frequency ac conversion stage to facilitate the use of a high frequency
transformer for voltage scaling and isolation. In contrast, in linear power supplies with input voltage
drawn from ac mains, the mains voltage is first stepped down (and isolated) to the desired magnitude
using a mains frequency transformer, followed by rectification and filtering. The high frequency
transformer used in a SMPS circuit is much smaller in size and weight compared to the low frequency
transformer of the linear power supply circuit.

-to-dc switching converter for conversion

from unregulated dc input voltage to regulated dc output voltage. The switch employed

mode with negligible voltage drop across the collector and emitter terminals of the switch where as in
-off mode with negligible current through the collector and emitter
terminals. On the contrary the voltage regulating switch, in a linear regulator circuit, always remains in
the active region.
