Zero Crossing Detector:

Linear Integrated Circuits Lab BOA-04

It is a comparator which switches from OFF to ON when input crosses zero

reference voltage. An inverting comparator used as zero crossing detector is

shown in Fig.. That is, the output is driven into negative saturation when the

input signal passes through zero in positive direction. Conversely, when input

signal passes through zero in the negative direction, the output switches and

saturates positively. This circuit can be used as an easy technique to check

whether the op-amp is in good condition.

PROCEDURE:

(i) Setup the circuit shown in fig.

(ii) Apply an input signal of 100mVpp and 1 KHz to the inverting input.

(iii) Observe whether the output is a square wave swinging from

+Vsat to –Vsat.

Inverting Amplifier:

This is one of the most popular op-amp circuits. The polarity of the input

voltage gets inverted at the output. If a sine wave is fed to the input of this

amplifier, the output will be an amplified sine wave with 180 degree phase shift.

The gain of the inverting amplifier is given by the expression A=R f/Ri where Rf is

the feed back resistance and Ri is the input resistance.

Inverting amplifier can be used as a scalar because by varying either R f or

Ri amplitude of the output can be varied.

PROCEDURE:

(i) Set up the circuit shown in fig. with Ri=1K, Rf=10K

(ii) Apply an input signal of 2V pp and 1KHz to the inverting input.

Observe the output voltage Vo and input signal Vs on the dual

channel oscilloscope. Measure the peak voltages.

(iii) Repeat the measurements of Vo for Rf=10K.

(iv) Calculate the voltage gain.

Non-Inverting Amplifier:

This circuit provides a gain to the input signal without any change in

polarity. The gain of the non-inverting amplifier is given by the expression

A= 1+Rf/Ri, where Rf is the feedback resistance and Ri is the input resistance.

PROCEDURE:

(i) set up the circuit shown in Fig. with Ri=1K, Rf=10K

(ii) Apply an input signal of 2V pp and 1KHz to the inverting input. Observe

the output and input waveforms on the dual channel oscilloscope.

Measure the peak voltages.

(iii) Repeat the measurements of Vo for Rf=10K.

(iv) Calculate the voltage gain.

Voltage Follower

Doing a slight change in non-inverting amplifier circuit, we can make a

voltage follower circuit. The name voltage follower came from the fact that

output is the replica of the input (ie) unity gain and no change in polarity. This

circuit will provide very high input impedance. It is used as a buffer to connect a

high impedance signal source to a low impedance load.

PROCEDURE:

(i) Setup the circuit shown in Fig. with Ri=1K, Rf=10K

(ii) Observe the output and input waveforms and calculate the gain.

NOTE:

(i) Take care to switch on V+ and V- supplies before switching on input

signal sources.

(ii) Take care to switch off the V+ and V- supplies.
