INTRODUCTION

AIM:

To indicate power failure using op-amp 741.

IC 741 Operational Amplifier

The IC 741 operational amplifier looks like a small chip. The

representation of 741 IC op-amp is given below that comprises

of eight pins. The most significant pins are 2,3 and 6, where

pin2 and 3 are pin 2 and 3 denote inverting & non-inverting

terminals and pin6 denotes output voltage. The triangular form

in the IC signifies an op-amp integrated circuit.The current

version of the chip is denoted by the famous IC 741 op amp.

The main function of this IC 741 is to do mathematical

operations in various circuits. IC 741 op amp is made from

various stages of transistor which commonly have three

stages like differential i/p, a push-pull o/p and an intermediate

gain stage. The differential op-amps comprises of a set of

FETs or BJTs.

Pin Diagram of IC 741 Op-Amp

The pin configuration of the IC 741 operational amplifier is

shown below. It comprises of eight pins where the function of

each pin is discussed below.

 Pin-1 is Offset null.

 Pin-2 is Inverting (-) i/p terminal.

 Pin-3 is a non-inverting (+) i/p terminal.

 Pin-4 is -Ve voltage supply (VCC)

 Pin-5 is offset null.

 Pin-6 is the o/p voltage.

 Pin-7 is +ve voltage supply (+VCC)

 Pin-8 is not connected.

PRINCIPLE:

Many circuits, especially digital systems such as random access

memories and digital clocks, must have a continuous power supply to

ensure correct operation. If the supply to a RAM is interrupted then

the stored information is lost, as is the time in the case of a digital

clock.

The supply failure indicator described here will sense

the interruption of the power supply and will light a LED when the

supply is restored, thus informing the microprocessor user that the

information stored in RAM is garbage and must be re-entered, and

telling the digital clock owner that his clock must be reset to the

correct time.

When the supply is initially switched on the inverting

input of IC1 is held at 0.6V below positive supply by D2. Pressing the

reset button takes the non-inverting input of IC1 to positive supply

potential, so the output of IC1 swings high, holding the non-inverting

input high even when the reset button is released. LED D1 is therefore

not lit.
 When the supply is interrupted all voltages, of course, fall

to zero. Upon
BLOCK restoration of the supply the inverting input of IC1 is
DIAGRAM:
immediately pulled up to its previous potential via D2. However C1 is

uncharged and holds the non-inverting input low, so the output of IC1

remains low and D1 lights.
