1.0 LEARNING OUTCOMES

To identify and observe the distinct feature of basic Op-Amp circuit such as:
a. Inverting configuration.
b. Non-inverting configuration.
c. Summing amplifier configuration.

2.0 EQUIPMENT

Personal Computer with PSPICE Software

3.0 SYNOPSIS & THEORY

The LM741C op-amp comes in 8 pins dual in line package (DIP). The pins are numbered
like diagram below. Pin 8 is not connected. Pin 1 and 5 are used to eliminate the offset
voltage.

Physical package of LM741C

The op-amp is a very high gain amplifier with inverting and non-inverting inputs. It
can be used to provide a much smaller but exact gain by external resistors or to sum more
than one input, each input having a desired voltage gain.
As an inverting amplifier, the resistors are connected to the inverting input as shown in Fig.
1 with output voltage of

PART 2 (SIMULATION)
a) Inverting Amplifier

1. Connect the circuit as shown in Figure 4.

a. Rf = 10k
b. R1 = 10k
c. Both +Vcc and -Vcc are set to +9V and 9V and set the sine-wave
generator to 1 kHz, 4Vp-p.

2. Measure the input and output voltage (Vin and Vout) by means of oscilloscope.
Use Channel 1 and Channel 2. Record the peak-to-peak value of Vin and Vout
in Table 1.
3. Attach all waveforms captured by oscilloscope in appendix I. Label all signals
appropriately
4. Calculate and then record the gain of the amplifier (Vout/Vin).
5. Compare the phase of Vin and Vout and indicate whether they are in phase or
180 out of phase.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for each value of R1 shown in Table 1.
