THEORY:
Op-amp in open-loop configuration has a very few application because
of its enormous open-loop gain. Controlled gain can be can be achieved by taking a
part of output signal to the input with the help of feedback. This is called as ClosedLoop Configuration. The three basic types of closed-loop amplifier configuration
are: 1. Inverting amplifier.
2. Non-inverting amplifier.
3. Differential amplifier.
The entire configuration can be operated with either AC or DC input.
INVERTING AMPLIFIER:If the input signal is applied to the inverting terminal through an input
resistance, a part of output is feedback to the inverting terminal through feedback
resistance Rf and the non-inverting terminal grounded, then the configuration is said
to be Inverting Amplifier. It provides 1800 phase shift or polarity reversal for the
given input.

output voltage is potentially divided before it is fedback to the inverting input
terminal. No phase shift or change in the circuit closed loop polarity occurs voltage

THEORY- (DIFFERENTIATOR):A differentiator or differentiation amplifier is a circuit which performs


the mathematical operation of differentiation; that is, the output waveform is the
derivative of the input waveform. The differentiator may be constructed from the
basic inverting amplifier if an input resistor R1 is replaced by capacitor C1. The
differentiation is very useful to find the rate at which a signal varies with time. For
maintaining the stability of differentiator, a series resistor R1 is connected with input
capacitor C1. the circuit will provide differentiation function but only over a limited
frequency range & over this range differentiator tend to oscillate (or) poor stability
results. The expression for output voltage is Vo

3. Connect the components as shown in the circuit diagram.

THEORY:
An instrumentation amplifier is the intermediate stage of a instrumentation
system. The signal source of the instrumentation amplifier is the output of the
transducer. Many transducers output do not have the ability or sufficient strength to
drive the next following stages. Therefore, instrumentation amplifiers are used to
amplify the low-level output signal of the transducer so that it can drive the following
stages such as indicator or displays.
The major requirements of a instrumentation amplifier are precise,
low-level signal amplification where low-noise, low thermal and time drifts, high
input resistance & accurate closed-loop gain, low power consumption, high CMRR &
high slew rate for superior performance.

THEORY (ACTIVE LPF):A filter circuit which allows only low frequency range up to a higher
cut-off frequency fH is called as Low Pass Filter. An active filter uses transistor and
components such as resistor & capacitor for its design. An active filter offers the
following advantages over a passive filter.
1. Gain & frequency adjustment flexibility.
2. No loading problem because of high input impedance & low output impedance.
3. More economical because of variety of op-amps and absence of inductors.

From the frequency response, when f<fH; the gain is maximum lAl. When
f=fH; the gain is 70.7% of the maximum gain

A
2

and when f

fH; the gain drops or

rolls off. The frequency range from 0 to fH is called as Passband & fH to

is called

as Stopband. Out of Butterworth, chebyshev & cauer filters, Butterworth filter is


preferred because it has flat pass band as well as flat stop band (flat-flat) filter.

THEORY- (ACTIVE HPF):An active high pass filter is simply formed by interchanging the
frequency determining resistor and capacitor in lowpass filter. A filter circuit which
allows only high frequency range greater then a lower cut-off frequency fL is called
as HIGH PASS FILTER. From the frequency response, when f<fL; the gain
gradually increases from the lowest value. When f = fL; the gain reaches 70.7% of the
maximum gain

A
2

and when f > fL, the gain is maximum lAl. The frequency range

from 0 to fL is called as Stopband & fL to


is called as Passband. (This is exactly
opposite to active LPF)The order of the filter tells the roll-off rate at stop band. Order
n = 1 indicates -20dB / dec (-6db / octave); Order n = 2 indicates -40dB / dec & so on.
Higher the order of the filter, better the quality will be & complex the circuit will be.
DESIGN PROCEDURE: (ACTIVE HPF):
Design a HPF at cutoff frequency fL of 1KHZ & P.B gain of 2. Follow the same
procedure as LPF & interchange the R & C position with capacitor first & resistor in
parallel.
In high pass filter Theoretical gain is given as

Vo
Vin

Af ( f / f L )
1 ( f / f H )2

PROCEDURE - (LPF & HPF):


1. Connect the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. Select the corresponding cut-off frequency (higher or lower) and determine the
value of C&R. select the value of R1 & Rf depending on desired passband
gain Af..
3. Apply a constant voltage input sinusoidal signal to the non-inverting terminal
of op-amp.
4. Tabulate the output voltage Vo with respect to different values of input
frequency.
5. Calculate passband gain and plot the graph of frequency versus voltage gain &
check the graph to get approximately the same characteristic as shown in the
model graph.

THEORY (ACTIVE BANDPASS FILTER):A filter which has a pass band between two cut-off frequencies fH & fL
is called as Bandpass filter. Where fH > fL BPF is basically of two types
(i) Wide band pass filter. (ii) Narrow band pass filter.
Based on figure of merit or quality factor Q, the types are classified as follows. If
Q<10, selectivity is poor & allows higher bandwidth & such BPF is called as wide
BPF.
If Q > 10, selective is more and allows only narrow bandwidth & such
BPF is called as Narrow BPF. Relationship between Q & center frequency fC is
given as

fc
BW

fc
fH

&

fL

fc

fH fL

When frequency fL < f < fH then gain is maximum. At f < fL the gain is
gradually increasing (positive roll-off) from lower value & at f > fH the gain is
gradually decreasing (Negative roll-off) & exactly when f = fL & f = fH the gain is
70.7% of maximum gain

A

PROCEDURE:
1. Select the lower and higher cut-off frequency and calculate the value of R & C

THEORY-(ASTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR):An op-amp Astable multivibrator is also called as free running


oscillator. The basic principle of generation of square wave is to force an op-amp to
operate in the saturation region (Vsat). A fraction =

R2
of the output is
R1 R 2

fedback to the positive input terminal of op-amp. The charge in the capacitor
increases & decreases upto a threshold value called Vsat. This charge in the
capacitor triggers the op-amp to stay either at +Vsat or Vsat. Asymmetrical square
wave can also be generated with the help of zener diodes. Astable multivibrator do
not require a external trigger pulse for its operation & output toggles from one state to
another and does not contain a stable state. Astable multivibrator are mainly used in
timing applications & waveforms generators.

THEORY - (MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR):A multivibrator which has only one stable and the other is quasi-stable
state is called as Monostable multivibrator or one-short multivibrator. This circuit is
useful for generating single output pulse of adjustable time duration in response to a
triggering signal. The width of the output pulse depends only on the external
components connected to the op-amp. Usually a negative trigger pulse is given to
make the output switch to other state. But, it then returns to its stable state after a time
interval determined by circuit components. The pulse width T can be given as T =
0.69RC. For Monostable operation the triggering pulse width Tp should be less then
T, the pulse width of Monostable multivibrator. This circuit is also called as time
delay circuit or gating circuit.

THEORY-(SCHMITT TRIGGER):A circuit which converts a irregular shaped waveform to a square wave
or pulse is called a Schmitt trigger or squaring circuit. The input voltage Vin triggers
the output Vo every time it exceeds certain voltage levels called upper threshold
voltage VUT and lower threshold voltage VLT. The threshold voltages are obtained by
using the voltage divider. A comparator with positive feedback is said to exhibit
hysteresis, a dead band condition. The hysteresis voltage is the difference between
VUT & VLT.
There are two types of Schmitt trigger based on where the irregular wave is
given. They are, Inverting & non-inverting Schmitt trigger. Schmitt trigger finds
application in wave shaping circuits. The other name given to Schmitt trigger is
regenerative comparator.

THEORY:
RC phase shift oscillator produces 360 of phase shift in two parts. Firstly,
each and every RC pair in the feedback network produces 60 phase shift and totally
there were three pairs, thus producing 180 Phase shift and secondly, the feedback
input is given to the inverting terminal of op-amp to produce another 180 phase shift
and a total phase shift of 360.

amplifier is used, the gain must be atleast equal to 29 to ensure the oscillations with
constant amplitude that is, AV

< 1. Otherwise the oscillation will die out.

3. To prevent the loading of amp because it is necessary that R1>>10R.
Therefore R1=10R=33K.
4. At this frequency the gain must be atleast 29 (i.e)Rf / R1 =29.
Therefore Rf = 29R1.
Rf = 29 (33K) = 957K.
Therefore use Rf = 1M.

THEORY (WIEN BRIDGE):A bridge circuit with two components connected in series and parallel
combination is used to archived the required of phase shift of 00. When the bridge is
balanced the phase shift of 00 is achieved and the feedback signal is connected to the

and the feedback network do not provide any phase shift.
The major drawback of wien bridge oscillator is difficulty in balancing
the bridge circuit. This occurs because of drift in component values due to external
and internal disturbances. The frequency of oscillation is given as f0 =

Block Diagram of IC 555:

Function of Various Pins of 555 IC:


Pin (1) of 555 is the ground terminal; all voltages r measured with respect to this pin.
Pin (2) of 555 is the trigger terminal, If the voltage at this terminal is held greater than
one-third of VCC, the output remains low. A negative going pulse from Vcc to less
than Vec/3 triggers the output to go high. The amplitude of the pulse should be able to
make the comparator (inside the IC) change its state. However the width of the
negative going pulse must not be greater than the width of the expected output pulse.
Pin (3) is the output terminal of IC 555. There are 2 possible output states. In the
low output state, the output resistance appearing at pin (3) is very low (approximately
10 ). As a result the output current will goes to zero , if the load is connected from
Pin (3) to ground , sink a current I Sink (depending upon load) if the load is connected
from Pin (3) to ground, and sinks zero current if the load is connected between +VCC
and Pin (3).
Pin (4) is the Reset terminal. When unused it is connected to +Vcc. Whenever the
potential of Pin (4) is drives below 0.4V, output is immediately forced to low state.
The reset terminal enables the timer over-ride command signals at Pin (2) of the IC.
Pin (5) is the Control Voltage terminal. This can be used to alter the reference levels
at which the time comparators change state. A resistor connected from Pin (5) to
ground can do the job. Normally 0.01F capacitor is connected from Pin (5) to
ground. This capacitor bypasses supply noise and does not allow it affect the
threshold voltages.
Pin (6) is the threshold terminal. In both Astable as well as Monostable modes, a
capacitor is connected from Pin (6) to ground. Pin (6) monitors the voltage across the
capacitor when it charges from the supply and forces the already high O/p to Low
when the capacitor reaches +2/3 VCC.
Pin (7) is the discharge terminal. It presents an almost open circuit when the output is
high and allows the capacitor charge from the supply through an external resistor and
presents an almost short circuit when the output is low.
Pin (8) is the +Vcc terminal. 555 can operate at any supply voltage from +3 to +18V.

THEORY:
When the power supply VCC is connected, the external timing capacitor C
charges towards VCC with a time constant (RA+RB) C. During this time, pin 3 is high
(VCC) as Reset R=0, Set S=1 and this combination makes Q = 0 which has
unclamped the timing capacitor C.
When the capacitor voltage equals 2/3 VCC, the upper comparator triggers the
control flip flop on that Q =1. It makes Q1 ON and capacitor C starts discharging
towards ground through RB and transistor Q1 with a time constant RBC. Current also
flows into Q1 through RA. Resistors RA and RB must be large enough to limit this
current and prevent damage to the discharge transistor Q1. The minimum value of R A
is approximately equal to VCC/0.2 where 0.2A is the maximum current through the
ON transistor Q1.
During the discharge of the timing capacitor C, as it reaches VCC/3, the lower
comparator is triggered and at this stage S=1, R=0 which turns Q =0. Now Q =0
unclamps the external timing capacitor C. The capacitor C is thus periodically
charged and discharged between 2/3 VCC and 1/3 VCC respectively. The length of
time that the output remains HIGH is the time for the capacitor to charge from 1/3
VCC to 2/3 VCC.
The capacitor voltage for a low pass RC circuit subjected to a step input of VCC
volts is given by VC = VCC [1- exp (-t/RC)]
Total time period T = 0.69 (RA + 2 RB) C
f = 1/T = 1.44/ (RA + 2RB) C

DESIGN PROCEDURE:Design of Astable multivibrator of operation frequency = 1 KHz & duty cycle of 30%
using 555 timer IC.
Given Frequency=1000Hz
Duty cycle=30%
D= T low/T high = RB/RA+2RB*100 -----------------------------------(1)
T high =0.69(RA+RB)C
T low = 0.69 RBC
From equation 1
0.30 T high = T low
0.30 * 0.69(RA+RB)C = 0.69 RBC
0.201(RA+RB)C = 0.69 RBC
0.483 RB-0.207 RA= 0 -----------------------------------------------(2)
given f=1khz we know that T=1/f
T=1ms
T= T high + T low
0.69(RA+RB)C +0.69 RBC= 1ms.
0.69(RA+RB) +0.69 RB = 1ms./C
Let C=0.1F
0.69RA+0.69RB +0.69 RB = 1ms./0.1*10-6
0.69RA+1.38RB = 10 4 ------------------------------------------------(3)

Solving equation 2 & 3 we get


RA=6.8K
RB= 2.674K 3.3K

THEORY- (MONOSATBLE):A Monostable Multivibrator, often called a one-shot Multivibrator, is a pulsegenerating circuit in which the duration of the pulse is determined by the RC network
connected externally to the 555 timer. In a stable or stand by mode the output of the
circuit is approximately Zero or at logic-low level. When an external trigger pulse is
given, the output is forced to go high ( VCC). The time for which the output remains
high is determined by the external RC network connected to the timer. At the end of
the timing interval, the output automatically reverts back to its logic-low stable state.
The output stays low until the trigger pulse is again applied. Then the cycle repeats.
The Monostable circuit has only one stable state (output low), hence the name
Monostable. Normally the output of the Monostable Multivibrator is low.

DESIGN PROCEDURE:Let, RA = 10K


Out put pulse width tp = 10s
tp=1.1RAC
C= 0.909F
C=0.1F

PROCEDURE:1. Calculate the value of R & C using design procedure.


2. Connect the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram.
3. Apply Negative triggering pulses at pin 2 of frequency 1 KHz.
4. Observe the output waveform and measure the pulse duration.
5. Theoretically calculate the pulse duration as Thigh=1.1 RAC

RESULT:
Thus the Astable and Monostable multivibrator is designed and tested using
555 timer IC

PLL IC 565
THEORY:The Signetics SE/NE 560 series is monolithic phase locked loops. The SE/NE
560, 561, 562, 564, 565, & 567 differ mainly in operating frequency range, power
supply requirements and frequency and bandwidth adjustment ranges. The device is
available as 14 Pin DIP package and as 10-pin metal can package. Phase comparator
or phase detector compare the frequency of input signal fs with frequency of VCO
output fo and it generates a signal which is function of difference between the phase of
input signal and phase of feedback signal which is basically a d.c voltage mixed with
high frequency noise. LPF remove high frequency noise voltage. Output is error
voltage. If control voltage of VCO is 0, then frequency is center frequency (f o) and
mode is free running mode. Application of control voltage shifts the output frequency
of VCO from fo to f. On application of error voltage, difference between fs & f tends
to decrease and VCO is said to be locked. While in locked condition, the PLL tracks
the changes of frequency of input signal.

Theory:
The frequency divider is inserted between the VCO and the phase
comparator of PLL. Since the output of the divider is locked to the input frequency
fIN, the VCO is actually running at a multiple of the input frequency .The desired
amount of multiplication can be obtained by selecting a proper divide by N
network ,where N is an integer. To obtain the output frequency fOUT=2fIN, N = 2 is
chosen. One must determine the input frequency range and then adjust the free
running frequency fOUT of the VCO by means of R1 and C1 so that the output
frequency of the divider is midway within the predetermined input frequency range.
The output of the VCO now should be 2fIN . The output of the VCO should be
adjusted by varying potentiometer R1. A small capacitor is connected between pin7
and pin8 to eliminate possible oscillations. Also, capacitor C2 should be large enough
to stabilize the VCO frequency.

THEORY:
A voltage regulator is a circuit that supplies a constant voltage regardless of
changes in load current and input voltage variations. Using IC 723, we can design
both low voltage and high voltage regulators with adjustable voltages.
For a low voltage regulator, the output VO can be varied in the range of
voltages Vo < Vref, where as for high voltage regulator, it is VO > Vref. The voltage
Vref is generally about 7.5V. Although voltage regulators can be designed using Opamps, it is quicker and easier to use IC voltage Regulators.
IC 723 is a general purpose regulator and is a 14-pin IC with internal short
circuit current limiting, thermal shutdown, current/voltage boosting etc. Furthermore
it is an adjustable voltage regulator which can be varied over both positive and
negative voltage ranges. By simply varying the connections made externally, we can
operate the IC in the required mode of operation. Typical performance parameters are
line and load regulations which determine the precise characteristics of a regulator

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LM317HVK:

The LM317HVK will provide a regulated output current of upto


1.5A,Provided that if is not subjected to a power dissipation of more than about
15W.This means it should be electrically isolated from, and fastened to, a large heat
sink such as the metal chassis of the power supply.
The LM317 requires a minimum dropout voltage of 3v across its input and
output terminals or it will drop out of regulation. Thus the upper limit of Vo is 3V
below the minimum input voltage from the unregulated supply.
It is good practice to connect bypass capacitors .This reduces the ripple
voltage from the rectifier.
The LM317HVK protects itself against over heating, too much internal power
dissipation and too much current. When the chip temperature reaches 175 degrees, the
317 shuts down. If the product of output current and input-to-output voltage exceeds
15 to 20W, or if currents greater than about 1.5A are required the LM317 also shuts
down. When the overload condition is removed the Operation is resumed. All these
features are made possible by the remarkable internal circuitry of LM317.
Along with the simple 3 pin fixed regulators; a number of adjustable or
programmable devices are available. Some devices also include features such as
programmable current limiting. It is also possible to configure multiple regulators so
that they track or follow each other.

STUDY OF SMPS

EXP.NO: 10

DATE:

AIM:
To study the control of SMPS
THEORY:
The switching regulator is also called as switched mode regulator. In
this case, the pass transistor is used as a controlled switch and is operated at either
cutoff or saturated state. Hence the power transmitted across the pass device is in
discrete pulses rather than as a steady current flow. Greater efficiency is achieved
since the pass device is operated as a low impedance switch. When the pass device is
at cutoff, there is no current and dissipated power. Again when the pass device is in
saturation, a negligible voltage drop appears across it and thus dissipates only a small
amount of average power, providing maximum current to the load. The efficiency is
switched mode power supply is in the range of 70-90%.
A switching power supply is shown in figure. The bridge rectifier and
capacitor filters are connected directly to the ac line to give unregulated dc input. The
reference regulator is a series pass regulator. Its output serves as a power supply
voltage for all other circuits. The transistors Q1, Q2 are alternatively switched on &;
off, these transistors are either fully on or cut-off, so they dissipate very little
power. These transistors drive the primary of the main transformer. The secondary is
centre tapped and full wave rectification is achieved by diodes D1 and D2. This
unidirectional square wave is next filtered through a two stage LC filter to produce
output voltage Vo.

THEORY:
Most DACs architectures are based on the popular R-2R ladder. Starting from
the left hand side of the circuit to the right hand side, one can easily prove that the
equivalent resistance to the right of each labeled node equals 2R. Consequently, the
current flowing downward, away from each node equal to the current flowing toward
the right; twice this current enters the node from the left. The currents and, hence, the
node voltages are binary weighted.
With a resistance spread of only 2-to-1, R-2R ladders can be fabricated
monolithically to a high degree of accuracy and stability. Depending on how ladders
are used, there were many DAC architectures available. There were two common
types of R-2R DACs available based on current or voltage.
They are Current mode DAC and Voltage mode DAC based on whether the
circuit operated on current or voltage respectively. The major advantage of R-2R
ladder architecture when compared with the binary weighted type is the use of only
two value resistors. These two values R and 2R make the design simple for any
resolution and thus easily realizable as an integrated circuit.

SAMPLE VIVA-VOCE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


EXPT NO.1:
INVERTING, NON-INVERTING AND DIFFERENTIAL
AMPLIFIERS USING OP-AMP
1. Define operational amplifier
Ans: Op-amp is an operational amplifier capable of performing mathematical
operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, logarithm, anti-logarithm,
integration, differentiation etc and amplification. It is a multi stage differential
amplifier which is in wide variety of applications.
2. What is the difference between ordinary amplifier and operational amplifier?
Ans: An ordinary amplifier can only amplify the given input signal. But, an
operational amplifier can perform many mathematical operations with enormous gain.
3. What are the different types of op-amp configurations available?
Ans: Op-amp configurations are broadly subdivided into two types. They are
open-loop and Closed-loop configurations. Open loop configurations are of three
types. They are Inverting, Non-inverting and differential configuration. Closed-loop
configurations are of three types. They are Inverting, Non-inverting, buffer amplifier
and differential configuration. The differential configuration of closed-loop op-amp is
further subdivided into two types. They are configuration with one op-amp and
configuration with two op-amps.
4. Which is the basic building block of operational amplifier?
Ans: The basic building block of op-amp is differential amplifier. A
differential amplifier amplifies the difference between two input signals.
5. Mention some of the applications of op-amp.
Ans: Op-amps are mainly used in analog system design. They are used for
wide variety of applications such as mathematical operations, data acquisition
systems, process control, programmable gain amplifiers, automotive instrumentation
and control, communication ICs, radio/audio/video ICs, analog computers, A/D
converters etc.
6. Can an op-amp be used for both AC and DC Applications?
Ans: Yes. Op-amps can be used for both AC and DC applications. This is one
of the important features of an op-amp. They have the ability to process both AC and
DC input signals.
7. Why negative feedback is preferred in op-amp?
Ans: In most of the op-amp application, negative feedback is preferred to
decrease the overall voltage gain. Open-loop gain is huge and this is minimized by
using two resistors. Input resistor and feedback resistor is used to control the gain and
thus suitable for many practical applications.

8. List out the ideal characteristics of op-amp.


Ans: The ideal characteristics of op-amp are
i) Open-loop gain must be infinite. AoL =
ii) The input impedance must be infinite. Ri =
iii) The output impedance must be zero. Ro = 0
iv) Common Mode Rejection Ratio must be infinite. CMRR =
v) Slew rate must be infinite. dvo/dt =
vi) It must not provide output when there is no input. Vo = 0; when Vi = 0.
vii) Differential mode gain must be infinite. Ad =
viii) Common mode gain must be zero. Ac = 0
9. Define slew rate. What causes it? Mention the effects and methods of
minimizing Slew rate.
Ans: It is the rate at which the output voltage changes with respect to time. It tells
how fast an output of op-amp can change. Example: For a general purpose op-amp
741, the maximum slew rate is 0.5V/s. This means, the output voltage can change a
maximum of 0.5V in 1 s. Slew rate is a major limiting factor for op-amps operating
at high frequency.
Slew rate can also be given as the maximum current flowing through a
compensating capacitor. S.R = I/C. Op-amp with slew rate greater than 100V/s are
termed as High Speed Op-amps. For special applications such as video systems, opamps with slew rate of 1000V/s are available.
CAUSES OF SLEW RATE:
The worst case, or slowest slew rate, occurs at unity gain. Therefore, slew rate is
usually specified at unity gain. Slew rate depends on many factors: the amplifier gain,
Compensating capacitors, the current flowing through the compensating capacitor and
even whether the output voltage is going positive or negative.
If Vi is a sine wave, with a peak amplitude of Vp, the maximum rate of change of Vi
depends on both its frequency f and peak amplitude. It is given by 2fVp. If this
change is larger than op-amps slew rate, the output Vo will be distorted.
If a step input is given, it is observed that above certain step amplitude the output
slope saturates at a constant value called slew rate (SR). When the frequency of a train
of square wave given to a voltage follower is constantly increased, the shape of the
output will be a triangular wave instead of square.
Methods of Minimizing Slew Rate
The minimization methods can be summarized with the use of following expression.
SR = 2If / gm
By increasing the frequency f.
By reducing the input stage transconductance gm.
By increasing the current I flowing through the capacitor.
Or by reducing the value of compensation capacitor Cc (which increases the
frequency)
10. What is the maximum voltage that can be given at the inputs?
Ans: The inputs must be given in such a way that the output should be less than Vsat.

11. Why op-amps cannot be used in open-loop configuration?


Ans: Op-amp in open loop configuration has enormous gain. For example the
op-amp 741 has a typical gain of 200,000 (106 dB) & op-amp OP-77 has a typical
gain of 12 million (141.6 dB). This huge gain is not necessary for most of the
application of op-amp. Since op-amp output will saturate at Vsat (positive and
negative saturation) which is approximately equal to V (Supply voltage)
12. Can a op-amp be operated using single power supply?
Ans: No. All the general purpose op-amp must be operated with two power
supplies. Since, the differential amplifier has two supply : +Vcc and Vee, the opamp which is a multi stage differential amplifier stage must also have two supply
voltages. However, op-amps with single supply voltage are also used for very few
applications.
13. Define offset voltage and state its significance.
Ans: When an op-amp has no inputs given, there is a possibility of getting
output because of small voltage at input terminals. This very small voltage difference
between the two terminals of op-amp results due to the slight mismatch between the
characteristics of two transistors present in the starting stage of op-amp. If a small
voltage appears across the input terminals of op-amp, then because of the huge gain of
op-amp, the amplified output will result even when there is no input. So a voltage
must be applied by the user to cancel out the effects. The voltage that must be applied
to nullify the output voltage is called as offset voltage.
14. List the important features of op-amp 741.
Ans: Features of op-amp 741
1.
No frequency compensation required.
2.
Short circuit protection
3.
Offset voltage null capability
4.
Large common mode and differential voltage ranges
5.

15. Draw the block diagram of op-amp.
Ans:

16. How to construct a adder circuit using op-amp?


Ans: A two input summing amplifier may be constructed using the inverting
mode. The adder can be obtained by using either non-inverting mode or differential
amplifier. Here the inverting mode is used. So the inputs are applied through
resistors to the inverting terminal and non-inverting terminal is grounded. This is
called virtual ground, i.e. the voltage at that terminal is zero. The gain of this
summing amplifier is 1, any scale factor can be used for the inputs by selecting proper
external resistors.

18. Draw the pin configuration of op-amp 741.


Ans:

19. What is the maximum voltage that can be given at the inputs?
Ans: The inputs must be given in such a way that the output should be less than Vsat.
20. How to construct a Subtractor?
Ans: A basic differential amplifier can be used as a subtractor. Input signals
can be scaled to the desired values by selecting appropriate values for the resistors.
When this is done, the circuit is referred to as scaling amplifier. However in this
circuit all external resistors are equal in value. So the gain of amplifier is equal to
one. The output voltage Vo is equal to the voltage applied to the non-inverting
terminal minus the voltage applied to the inverting terminal; hence the circuit is called
a subtractor.

EXPT NO: 2
INTEGRATOR AND DIFFERENTIATOR USING OP-AMP.
1. Express the output voltage of an Integrator.
Ans: The expression for the output voltage of an op-amp integrator is given as
t
1
Vin dt + C
Vo = R1Cf 0
Where R1 Input Resistance
Cf Feedback Capacitance
Vin Input Voltage and
C Constant
2. Why op-amp integrator is called as precision Integrator?
Ans: The op-amp integrator has a high degree of accuracy. And it can
precisely implement the output voltage expression. Because of this, op-amp integrator
is often called as precision integrator.
3. Mention some of the applications of integrator.
Ans: Op-amp integrator finds wide application in function generators
(Triangle and sawtooth wave generators), active filters (State variable & biquad
filters, Switched Capacitor filters), Analog to Digital Converters (Dual-slope
converters, Quantized feedback converters) and Analog controllers (PID Controllers).
4. What are the problems faced by basic ideal integrator and how can we
overcome ?
Ans: The input offset voltage Vio and the part of input current charging the
feedback capacitor Cf produces the error voltage at the output of the ideal integrator.
Therefore, in practical integrator, to reduce the error voltage at the output, a resistor
Rf is connected in parallel to Cf. This Rf, limits the low-frequency gain and hence
minimizes the variations in the output voltage. Both stability and the roll-off problems
in basic ideal integrator can be corrected by additional resistor Rf.
5. What is other name given to practical integrator?
Ans: The method of preventing saturation in integrator is to place a parallel
resistance Rf with Cf. The resulting circuit is called as lossy integrator (Practical
Integrator) which can still provide integration function. But, only over a limited
frequency range. In most applications, integrators are placed in a control loop to
avoid saturation and there is no need for Rf in such applications.
6. What is meant by negative resistance?
Ans: Negative resistance indicates the release of power. Negative resistance
can be used to neutralize unwanted ordinary resistance, as in the design of current
sources or to control the pole location, as in the design of active filters and oscillators.
7. Integrator is otherwise called as fixed frequency, variable gain LPF. True or
False?
Ans: True.

8. Give the meaning and use of Virtual ground.


Ans: If the difference input voltage is ideally zero, and non-inverting terminal
is grounded with a input signal applied to the non-inverting terminal via R1, then
voltage at the inverting terminal is approximately equal to voltage at the non-inverting
terminal. This is known as virtual ground (A terminal that is not connected to physical
ground but, assumed to be.) It is much used in closed-loop analysis of inverting
amplifier.
9. Determine the ouput for the following inputs to an integrator.
t
1
Vin dt + C, the output of integrator for the inputs
Ans: Since, Vo = R1Cf 0
will be
Sine Wave Clamped Cosine Wave
Cosine Wave Negative Sine Wave
Square Wave Triangular Wave
Rectangle Wave Sawtooth Wave
10. How integrator is useful in constructing Servo Amplifer?
Ans: A Servo Amplifier is constructed when an integrator is followed by an
inverting amplifier. Servo amplifiers are used where the output is a delayed response
to the input. Example: Radar (or) Position of a xy table in a manufacturing process.
11. How to convert an op-amp integrator to op-amp differentiator?
Ans: To convert a op-amp integrator to differentiator, just replace the feedback
capacitor Cf as feedback resistor Rf. And replace the input resistor R1 as input
capacitor C1 of an integrator.
12. Give the output voltage expression for an integrator.
Ans: The output voltage expression of a differentiator is given as
dVin
Vo = - Rf C1
dt
Where Rf Feedback Resistance
C1 Input Capacitance
Vin Input Voltage
13. How ideal differentiator suffers from instability? How can we overcome
them?
Ans: The ideal or basic differentiators circuit gain (Rf/R1) increases with
increase in frequency at a rate of +20dB/decade. This makes the circuit unstable.
Also, the impedance Xc1 decreases with increase in frequency, which makes the
circuit very susceptible to high frequency noise. When amplified, this noise can
completely override the differentiated output signal. Both stability and high frequency
noise can be corrected by addition of two components R1 and Cf. This circuit is called
as practical differentiator.
14. Can a differentiator be used as a High pass Filter?

Ans: Yes, at cut-off frequency of fa =

15. What is the condition to be followed for proper differentiation?


Ans: The input signal will be differentiated properly if the time period T of the
input signal is larger than equal to RfC1. That is T RfC1.
16. How high frequency noise affects the performance of an differentiator?
Ans: Due to poor Stability (i.e) Circuit tends to oscillate and gain of the circuit
increases with an increase in frequency. So high frequency noise is amplified and is
dominant at the output.
17. Determine the output of differentiator for the following input waves.
Ans: The inputs and respective output waveform of differentiator are as follows,
Sine Wave Negative Cosine Wave
Cosine Wave Sine Wave
Square Wave Spike Wave
Sawtooth Wave Square Wave
18. Give some important applications of differentiator.
Ans: Differentiator is most commonly used in wave shaping circuits to detect
high frequency components in an input signal and also as a rate-of-change detector in
FM modulators.
19. What is Unity Gain Frequency?
Ans: Unity-gain frequency of op-amp differentiator is the frequency at which
the gain is unity (0 dB).
20. What is UGB?
Ans: Unity Gain Bandwidth (UGB) is the bandwidth of op-amp when the
voltage gain is 1. It is also called as Closed-loop bandwidth, Gain-Bandwidth Product
or Small signal bandwidth.

transfer function of a filter. Poles and Zeros determine the characteristics of a filter.
7. Does a filter affect both amplitude and phase of the input signal?
Ans: Yes.
8. What is the use of bode plot?
Ans: The Bode Plots are plots of decibels and degrees versus decades (or
Octaves).
The purpose of bode plot is to represent both logarithmic and semi-logarithmic scales.
9. In what basis the order of the filter is decided?
Ans: Based on the parameter n, the order of the filter is decided. n=1; First
order, n=2; Second order and so on. The parameter n decides the accuracy of the
filter primarily at the stopband (Rolloff). Higher the value of n, better the filter will be
and complex the design will be.
10. Define Bandwidth of a filter.
Ans: Bandwidth of a filter is defined as higher cutoff frequency minus lower
cutoff frequency. Or in other words it is the difference between Upper cutoff
frequency and Lower cutoff frequency. Bandwidth is expressed in HZ.
B.W = fH fL HZ

11. What do you understand from the frequency response of filter?


Ans: There were three cases that should be noted in any filter except allpass
filter. The three cases for LPF filter for example is given as
Case i: If the input frequency fin is less than the higher cutoff frequency f H, then
magnitude of the gain is maximum and it is given as passband gain of the filter AF.
Case ii If the input frequency fin is equal to the cutoff frequency, then the gain
magnitude will be 70.7% of the maximum gain. That is,

A

ASTABLE, MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR AND


SCHMITT TRIGGER USING OP-AMP
1. Define multivibrator.
Ans: A multivibrator is an oscillatory circuit capable of generating waveforms
without any Specific input signal. The circuit only has supply voltage connections,
from which the two amplifiers saturates one another to generate vibrations.
2. State the relationship between Astable multivibrator and a comparator.

pulse
input.
5. Which Determines the switching time of a multivibrator?
Ans: The threshold value determines the switching time of a multivibrator.
When ever a capacitor voltage exceeds VT, the output state changes.
6. List some applications of multivibrator.

7. Say how to form a triangular wave generator using multivibrator?
Ans: To construct a triangular wave generator, a Astable multivibrator should
be followed by an integrator. Square wave is generated first and then converted to
triangular with the help of integrator.
8. Define stable state.
Ans: The time over which a multivibrator output voltage stays constantly is
called as stable state. A quasi-stable in the other hand depends on the triggering input
to regain the output state.

When V+ > V- +Vsat
When V+ < V- - Vsat
When V+ = V- High Impedance State
14. What is Comparator chatter? And how can we eliminate it?
Ans: For slowly varying signals, comparators tend to produce multiple output
transitions, or bounces, as input crosses the threshold region. This is referred to as
comparator chatter. This phenomenon is eliminated with the help of Hysteresis. In
hysteresis the circuit snaps and activates the other threshold.
15. What happens when both threshold points in a Schmitt trigger is equal to
zero?
Ans: When VUT = VLT = 0, the Schmitt trigger behaves as a zero crossing
detector.
There were two types of Schmitt trigger. They are positive and negative
Schmitt
trigger.
16. Can a Schmitt trigger can be operated with single supply & single threshold
voltage?
Ans: Schmitt trigger can also be operated with single power supply or with a
single triggering input (Either Positive or Negative)

damping, over damping and constant amplitude oscillations.
3. How oscillations are created in RC phase shift and wien Bridge oscillator?
Ans: When the bridge is balanced and the overall phase attained is 0, the
Wien bridge oscillator produces oscillations. RC phase shift oscillator produces 360
of phase shift in two parts. Firstly, each and every RC pair in the feedback network
produces 60 phase shift and a totally there were three pairs, thus producing 180
Phase shift and secondly, the feedback input is given to the inverting terminal of opamp to produce another 180 phase shift and a total phase shift of 360.
4. What are the merits and demerits of different types of oscillator?
Ans: The major problem in Wien bridge oscillator is balancing the bridge
becomes very difficult when the component values drifts unfortunately due to external
or internal conditions. Poor stability and low frequency application is the demerits of
RC phase shift Oscillator. Both RC phase shift and Wien bridge oscillator have a
advantage that its operating frequency can be easily varied by just replacing the

PLL IC 565 AND FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER USING PLL 565

147452-Linear

1. What is a PLL?
A PLL is a Phase Locked Loop Circuit used to track any changes in the input
frequency.
2. What are the operating modes of an PLL?
A PLL functions in any in any one of the mode described here.
1) Free Running mode
2) Capture mode
3) Lock mode and
4) Tracking mode/range
3. What are the basic building blocks of a PLL IC?
The basic building blocks of PLL IC are 1) Phase comparator 2) Low
Pass Filter and 3) Error Amplifier.
4. What is meant by free running mode of a PLL?
A PLL is said to be in this mode when there is no input frequency
given to phase comparator for comparison. When no input is given, PLL runs
freely without any locking or tracking and so it is called as free running mode
of PLL.
5. Name some of the applications of PLL IC 565.
PLL ICs are mostly used in frequency application circuits such as
Frequency synthesizer, frequency multiplier, frequency divider, phase
comparator, FM demodulator, PM demodulator, Phase magnitude comparator,
etc.,
6. Why PLL Circuit is mostly preferred in Frequency Applications?
It is preferred in most of the frequency applications because the
frequency content of a signal is indirectly proportional to Phase of the same
signal. As we compare the phase of the two signals, we indirectly compare the
frequency of the same signal. This is due to the fact that direct phase is
nothing but indirect frequency and direct frequency is nothing but indirect
phase.
7. What happens when the two input signals given to PLL is having same
frequency or same phase?
When both the inputs are same, the PLL will start functioning in the
Lock mode and if once lock has been occurred, the PLL will start tracking the
Phase or frequency changes in the input signal.
8. What is VCO?
VCO is the integral part of PLL. A VCO is the Voltage Controlled
Oscillator. As the name implies it generates oscillations according to the input
voltage. This VCO is placed in the feedback path of a PLL. The output of the
VCO is changing according to the Error output voltage from the error
amplifier placed finally in the forward path.

1. Mention Some Important DAC characteristics.
Ans: Resolution, Full-scale output Voltage, Offset error, Gain error,
Monotonocity and Relative accuracy.

2.What are the different types of D/A Converter techniques available?


Ans: The different types of DAC techniques are
i)
Binary weighted DAC
ii)
R-2R Ladder network
iii)
Inverted R-2R ladder network
iv)
Current Driven DAC
3. Define resolution of a DAC.
Ans: The resolution is nothing but the number of distinct analog outputs that
can be produced by DAC. It is given as Resolution = 2n Where n is the number of
digital inputs. Example: For 3 inputs DAC there are 8 distinct outputs.
4. What were the practical resolutions possible?
Ans: DACs with resolution of 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 bits were already
available.
5. Define monotonicty of a DAC.
Ans: A DAC is said to be monotonic if the analog output increases or remains
the same as the digital input increases. This result in the output always single valued.
6. What are the merits and demerits of different types of DAC conversion
techniques?
Ans: The binary weighted is the simplest DAC technique. But this technique
suffers from the fact that if, number of binary inputs was more, then the Value of
resistor also increases and becomes difficult to be implemented inside a IC.
The R-2R ladder network eliminates the above said disadvantage, since it uses
only two values of resistance R and 2R irrespective of number of binary inputs.
Ratioed emitter current is the disadvantage of this type.
The inverted ladder type eliminates the above said disadvantage by performing
voltage ratio rather than current ratio.
Current driven DAC is mainly used when there is a base errors. This type is
mainly used to compensate base losses of a bipolar DACs.
7. Mention some monolithic DACs available.
Ans: DAC 08, AD 558, PCM 52/53 nad HI-DAC 16 are some of the
examples of monolithic DAC.
