inverting terminal of IC741 is shown in fig(1). The following analysis is carried out assuming
that the Op-Amp is an ideal one, that is AOL = , Ri = & R0=0; since the input bias
current is assumed to be zero, there is no voltage drop across the resistor Rcomp and hence
the non inverting input terminal is at ground potential.

DIFFERENTIATOR:
Fig.2
THEORY:
The integrator
A circuit in which the output voltage waveform is the integration of the input is called
integrator.
1. The equation (1) indicates that the output voltage is directly proportional to the negative
integral of the input voltage and inversely proportional to the time constant R 1CF. For
Example if the input is a sine wave, the output will be a cosine wave or if the input is a
square wave, the output will be a triangular wave.
2. When the input signal frequency is ZERO, the integrator works as an open loop
amplifier. This is because of the capacitor CF acts as an open circuit (XCF =1/CF = infinite
for f=0).
3. Therefore the ideal integrator becomes unstable & suffers with low frequency noise. To
overcome this problem RF is connected across the feed back capacitor C F. Thus RF limits the
low-frequency gain and hence minimizes the variations in the output voltage.
3. Frequency fb at which the gain of the integrator is 0 dB, is given by
fb =1/2R1CF ----------- (2)
4. Both the stability and the low frequency roll-off problems can be corrected by the
addition of a resistors RF in the feed back path. The frequency response of practical
15

Department of ECE
integrator is as shown in fig (3). In this f is relative operating frequency and for f < f a gain
of the integrator is constant and is equal to R F / R1. However after fa the gain decreases at a
rate of 20dB/decade. In other words, between f a and fb the circuit acts as an integrator. The
gain-Limiting frequency fa is given by
fa =1/2RFCF ---------- (3)
NOTE: The input signal will be integrated properly if the time period T of the input signal is
greater than or equal to RFCF.
The Differentiator
The differentiator circuit performs the mathematical operation of differentiation. That is the
output waveform is the derivative of the input waveform. Therefore
VO = RFC1 dVin / dt
-------------- (4)
1. The above equation (4) indicates that the output voltage is directly proportional to the
derivative of the input voltage and also proportional to the time constant RFC1.
For Example if the input is a sine wave, the output will be a cosine wave or if the input is a
square wave, the output will be spikes.
2. The reactance of the circuit increases with increase in frequency at a rate of 20dB/
decade. This makes the circuit unstable. In other words the gain of an ideal differentiator
circuit is direct dependent on input signal frequency. Therefore at high frequencies (f=),
the gain of the circuit becomes infinite making the system unstable.
3. The input impedance XC1 decreases with increase in frequency, which makes the circuit
very susceptible to high frequency noise.
4. The frequency response of the basic differentiator is shown in fig.4 In this fig fa is the
frequency at which the gain is 0 dB.
fa =1/2RFC1 ----------- (5)
5. Both the stability and the high frequency noise problem can be corrected by the
addition of two components R1 and CF as shown in fig.2.The frequency response of which is
shown in fig.4. From f to fa the gain decreases at 40dB/decade.This 40 dB/decade change in
gain is caused by the R1C1 and RFCF combinations. The gain limiting frequency fb is given by
fb =1/2R1C1 ---------- (6)
Where R1 C1 = RF CF.
R1C1 and RFCF help to reduce significantly the effect of high frequency input, amplifier noise,
and offsets. Above all, it makes the circuit more stable by preventing the increase in gain
with frequency. In general, the value of f1, and in turn R 1C1 and RFCF should be selected
such that fa <fb < fc, Where fc is the unity gain- bandwidth of an open-loop Op-Amp.
NOTE: The input signal will be differentiated properly if the time period T of the input signal
is greater than or equal to RF C1.

THEORY:
A first order filter consists of a single RC network connected to the non-inverting input
terminal of the op-Amp as shown in the figure. Resistors R1 & Rf determine the gain of the
filter in the pass band. Components R & C determine the cutoff frequency of the filter.

response is as shown in the fig3. The dashed curve in the fig.3 indicates the ideal response
& solid curve indicates practical filter response. It is not possible to achieve ideal
characteristics. However with special design techniques (Higher order filters) it is possible to
closely approximate the ideal response. Active filters are typically specified by the voltage
transfer function,

response is as shown in the fig4. The dashed curve in the fig.4 indicates the ideal response

filter, the signals at high frequencies are passed through circuit and signals at low
frequencies are rejected. That is the signal which are having frequencies less than the lower
cutoff frequency fL are rejected and the signal with frequency greater the lower cut off
frequency fL are passed through the circuit. That is

THEORY:
BAND PASS FILTER:
A Band Pass Filter (BPF) has a pass band between the lower cut-off frequency, f L & the
higher cut-off frequency fH, such that fH > fL. When the input frequency is zero, the gain of
the filter will be zero. As the input signal frequency increases from zero to f L, the gain will
increase at a rate 20dB/decade up to 3dB less than its maximum value. If the input signal
frequency increases beyond fL, the gain will reach its maximum value and remains constant
up to high frequencies as shown in the Fig.3. When the input signal frequency reaches the
higher cut-off frequency, fH, the gain will fall 3dB less from its maximum value. If the input
signal frequency increases beyond fH, the gain will decreases to zero at rate of 20dB/decade.
After reaching the total pass band region, the gain of the filter is constant up to its designed
fH (high cut off frequency).
There is a phase shift between input and output voltages of BPF as a function of
frequency in its Pass Band region. This filter passes all frequencies equally well i.e. the
30

output and input voltages are equal in amplitude for all frequencies. This highest frequency
up to which the input and output amplitudes remain equal is dependent of the unity gain
bandwidth of Op Amp. At this frequency, the phase shift between input and output
becomes maximum.
BAND REJECT FILTER:
A Band Reject Filter (BRF) has a stop band between the cutoff frequencies fH & fL
such that fH < fL. When the input signal frequency is zero, the gain of the BPF will be
maximum and will remains constant as the input signal frequency increases. At the higher
cut off frequency fH, the gain becomes 3dB less than its maximum value. As the input signal
frequency increases beyond fH, the gain of the filter decreases & becomes zero at the central
(fC) or operating frequency (fO). After this center frequency fC, the gain increases to 3dB less
than its maximum value at the lower cut-off frequency, fL. As the input signal frequency
increases beyond fL the gain increases to the maximum value and becomes constant.
There is a phase shift between input and output voltages of BPF in its Pass band region.
This filter passes all the frequencies equally well i.e. output and input voltages are equal in
(magnitude) amplitude for all frequencies. This highest frequency up to which the input and
output amplitude remains equal is dependent on the unity gain bandwidth of the Op- Amp.
However at this frequency, the phase shift between the input and output is maximum.

Department of ECE
The sine wave generator circuit is shown in fig.1. The operational amplifier (IC 741) used in
the circuit is provided with a positive feed back through two 47K resistors and a 0.047F
capacitor. This positive feed back provides a fraction of output signal in phase(00 or 3600)
with the input at the non-inverting terminal (pin No.3) of Op-Amp 741. Once the loop gain
(A) of the circuit equals to 1 the circuit produce oscillates. The frequency of the oscillations
can be controlled by varying the feed back network components. However a negative feed
back is also provided to the Op-Amp 741 to improve the stability of the circuit.
SQUARE WAVE GENERATOR (ASTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR)
In comparison to sine wave oscillations, square wave signals are generated when the OpAmp is forced to operate in saturated region. That is the output of the Op-Amp is forced to
swing between +Vsat & -Vsat, resulting in square wave output. The circuit arrangement of a
square wave generator using IC 741 is shown in fig.2.

integrator has been chosen in such a way that it is very small value compared to the time
period of the incoming square wave. For the basic operation of integrator, it is known that
the output of the integrator for a given square wave input is a triangle wave.

Department of ECE
THEORY:
The 555 Timer is used in number of applications; it can be used as monostable, astable
multivibrators, DC to DC converters, digital logic probes, analog frequency meters, voltage
regulators and time delay circuits.
The IC 555 timer is 8-pin IC and it can operate in free- running (Astable) mode or in
one-shot (Monostable) mode. It can produce accurate and highly stable time delays or
oscillations. Monostable can also called as One-shot Multivibarator. Fig (1) shows the Pin
configuration of Monostable Multivibrator. When the output is low, the circuit is in stable
state, Transistor Q1 is ON and capacitor C is shorted out to ground. However, upon
application of a negative trigger pulse to pin-2, transistor Q1 is turned OFF, which releases
short circuit across the external capacitor and drives the output High. The capacitor C now
starts charging up toward Vcc through R. However, when the voltage across the external
capacitor equals 2/3 Vcc, the output of comparator1 switches from low to high, which in
turn drives the output to its low state. The output, Q of the flip flop turns transistor Q1 ON,
and hence, capacitor C rapidly discharges through the transistor. The output of the
Monostable remains low until a trigger pulse is again applied. Then the cycle repeats. Fig (2)
shows the trigger circuit & Fig.3 shows trigger input, output voltage and capacitor voltage
waveforms.
Pulse width of the trigger input must be smaller than the expected pulse width of the output
waveforms. Trigger pulse must be a negative going input signal with amplitude larger than
1/3 Vcc. The time during which the output remains high is given by
tp =1.1RC -------------(1)
Once triggered, the circuits output will remain in the high state until the set time tp
elapses. The output will not change its state even if an input trigger is applied again during
this time interval tp.
DESIGN:
Step 1: Choose C=1F.
Step 2: Since in monostable multivibrator, tp=1.1RC. Therefore R= tp / 1.1C ---- (2)
Step 3: Using equation (2), design the value of R.
PROCEDURE:
1. Connect the 555 timer in Monostable mode as shown in fig.1.
2. Connect the C.R.O at the output terminals & observe the output.
3. Apply external trigger at the trigger input terminal (PIN 2) and observe the output of
Monostable Multivibrator.
4. Record the trigger input, voltage across the capacitor & output waveforms and measure
the output pulse width.

Fig. 2
THEORY:
The 555 Timer is used in number of applications; it can be used as monostable, astable
multivibrators, DC to DC converters, digital logic probes, analogy frequency meters, voltage
regulators and time delay circuits. The IC 555 timer is 8-pin IC and it can operate in freerunning (Astable) mode or in one-shot (Monostable) mode. The pin configuration of NE 555
Timer is
as shown fig (1). It can produce accurate and highly stable time delays or
oscillations.
Astable Multivibrator often called a free-running Multivibrator. External Trigger input
is not required to operate the 555 as an Astable Configuration. However, the time during
which the output is either high or low is determined by two external components Resistor &
Capacitor. Fig (2) shows the 555 as Astable Multivibrator. Initially, when the output is high,
capacitor C starts charging towards Vcc through resistor Ra and Rb. As soon as voltage
across the capacitor equals to 2/3 Vcc, comparator-1 triggers the flip-flop, and the output is
low. Now capacitor discharges through Rb and transistor Q1. When the voltage across
capacitor C equals to 1/3Vcc, comparator-2s output triggers the flip-flop, and the output
goes high. Then the cycle repeats. The output voltage waveforms are as shown in fig (3).In
this way capacitor periodically charges and discharges between 2/3Vcc and 1/3Vcc
respectively.
The time during which the capacitor charges from 1/3Vcc to 2/3 Vcc is equal to the
ON time of the timer (i.e. the output is HIGH) and is given by
tc =0.69(R1+R2)C ---- (1)

The time during which the capacitor discharges from 2/3 Vcc to 1/3Vcc is equal to the OFF
time of the timer, during which the output is LOW and is given by
td =0.69(R2)C --- (2)

The total time period of the output is the sum of charging time( tc )and discharging time(td)
and is given by
T = tc + td
= 0.69(R1 + 2R2) C --- (3)
Therefore the frequency of oscillations of Astable multivibrator is given by

F = 1/T = 1.45/ (R1 + 2R2) C --- (4)
DUTY CYCLE:
This term is in conjunction with Astable Multivibrator. The duty cycle is the ratio of the ON
time, tc during which the output is high to the total time period T. It is generally expressed
as a percentage.
Duty cycle,D = (TON /TON+ TOFF) = tc /T = (R1 + R2) / (R1 + 2R2) --- (5)

DESIGN:
Step1: Choose C=0.01 F
Step2: using the formula, F = 1.45/ (R1 + 2R2) C, Get a relation between R1 & R2.
Step3: Consider the expression for duty cycle, D= (TON /TON+ TOFF) = (R1 + R2) / (R1 +2R2)
& obtain a relation between R1 & R2.
Step4: Using the relations between R1 & R2., obtained in step2 & step3, solve for R1 & R2.

1. Connect the IC 555 timer in Astable mode as shown in fig.2
2. Connect the C.R.O at the output terminal (pin 3) and observe the output.
3. Record the waveforms at pin3, across the capacitor & compare them with the
sample output waveforms as shown in fig (3)

THEORY:
In Schmitt Trigger two internal comparators are tied together and externally biased at
VCC/2 through R1 & R2. Since the upper comparator will trip at (2/3) VCC and lower
comparator at (2/3) VCC the bias provided by R1 & R2 is centered within these two
thresholds. Thus a sine wave of sufficient amplitude (>VCC/6 = 2/3 VCC VCC/2) to
exceed the reference levels causes the internal flip flop to alternately set and reset
providing a square wave output.

Fig.2.Pin configuration of IC 565

THEORY:
The fig.1 shows the phase-locked loop (PLL) in its basic form. The PLL consists of i)
a phase detector ii) a low pass filter and iii) a voltage controlled oscillator as shown.
The phase detector, or comparator compares the input frequency f IN with the
feedback frequency fOUT. The output of the phase detector is proportional to the phase
difference between fIN and fout. The output voltage of a phase detector is a dc voltage and
therefore is often referred to as the error voltage. The output of the phase detector is then
applied to the low-pass filter, which removes the high-frequency noise and produces a dc
level. This dc level, in turn, is the input to the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The filter
also helps in establishing the dynamic characteristics of the PLL circuit. The output
frequency of the VCO is directly proportional to the input dc level. The VCO frequency is
compared with the input frequencies and adjusted until it is equal to the input frequencies.
In short, the phase-locked loop goes through three states: free running, capture, and phase
lock.
Before the input is applied, the phase-locked loop is in the free-running state.
Once the input frequency is applied, the VCO frequency starts to change and the phaselocked loop is said to be in the capture mode. The VCO frequency continues to change until
it equals the input frequency, and the phase-locked state. When phase locked, the loop
tracks any change in the input frequency through its repetitive action.
Lock Range: The range of frequencies over which the PLL can maintain lock with
incoming signal is called the Lock Range or Track Range
FL= 8f0/V-------(1) where V= + V (V), where f0 is free running frequency.
Capture range: The range of frequencies over which the PLL can acquire lock with an
input signal is called the capture range.
FC = [FL / 2 (3.6 103)C2 ]

THEORY:
When the input signal is applied at the inverting input by grounding the non-inverting input
of an op-amp, the amplifier operates in the inverting mode. That is the output differs in
phase by 180 degrees with respect to the input. In an inverting amplifier the gain is given
by the relation Af = -Rf/R1. Where Rf and R1 are the feedback and input resistor
respectively. When operated in the non-inverting mode, the input signal is applied to the
non-inverting input with the inverting terminal grounded through a resistor. The gain in this
case is given by the relation
Af = 1+Rf/R1.
The lowest gain can be obtained from a non-inverting amplifier with
feedback is 1. When the non-inverting amplifier is configured for unity gain, it is called as
Voltage follower because the output voltage is equal to and in phase with the input voltage.
The voltage follower is also called a non-inverting buffer amplifier because, when placed
between two networks, it removes the loading on the first network.

DUAL SLOPE ANALOG TO DOGITAL CONVERTER

AIM: To verify the analog to digital conversion using Dual slope A to D converter.
APPARATUS REQUIRED:
1. Analog to Digital Converter Trainer Kit

2. Power Supply
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
THEORY:
The most natural occurring phenomenon is analog in nature. With the introduction of
digital devices and computers, it has become necessary to convert the data taken in
physical system to digital form. The data to the digital device, namely appears in analog
form:
Ex: a temperature difference would be represented by the voltage output of a
thermo couple, therefore the need arises for a device that converts analog information into
digital form. The process of concerting an analog voltage into an equivalent signal is known
as analog to digital conversion. There are so many methods to achieve this. One of the
method dual slope A/D converter is used. The block diagram of dual slope A/D converter is
given in Fig.1. It has four major blocks Integrator, Comparator, a Binary counter and a
Binary to 7 Segment decode & driver.

The conversion process begins at t=0 with the switch S1(assume as it has built in auto
switching) in position 0,there by connecting the analog voltage Va of the integrator. This
result in high Vc, thus enabling the AND gate and the clock pulses reach the clock (ck) input
terminals of the counter which was initially clear. The counter counts from 0000 to 111
11 when (2-a) clock are applied. At the next clock pulse (2) the counter is cleared and 0
becomes 1.This controls the state of S1 which now moves to position 1 at T1. There by
connecting
Vr to the input of the integrator. The output of the integrator now starts to
move in the positive direction. The counter continues to count until Vo=0V. As soon as V0
goes positive at T2, Vc goes low disabling the AND gate. The counter will stop counting in
the absence of the clock pulses.
The time T1= 2N Tc -------- (1)
Where Tc is the time period of the clock pulses. When the switch is in position 1, the o/p
voltage of the integrator is given by.
Vo = Va T1 = Vr
t T1)
----------- (2)
Vo= 0 at t = T2
T2 T1 = Va
Vr * T1)
=Va
Vr *N2 Tc ----------- (3)
Let the count recorded in the counter be n at T2

Therefore T2-T1 = n.Tc =
which gives
Va
n = Va ( Vr * 2 )
( V * 2 .T ) ------------------ (4)
N
---------------- (5)
This shows the output of the counter is proportional to the analog voltage Va.
The count recorded in the counter is numerically equal to the analog voltage, If Vr= 2.
PROCEDURE:
1. Connect analog output voltage to input of A/D converter at Va
2.
Connect Ref. voltage at VR.
3.
Measure the voltages Va and VR with digital multimeter.
4. Now the display will show a reading of

Display = [ Va/VR] *1000
5. Fix the reference voltage at 100 mV
6. Now vary the analog input & note down the readings for different values.
7. Verify the display reading with the theoretical value that will come by using the
above formula.
RESULT: Studied the analog to digital conversion using Dual slope Analog to Digital
converter.

ADJUSTABLE VOLTAGE REGULATORS USING FIXED

VOLTAGE REGULATORS
AIM:
1) To construct and study the adjustable voltage regulator (10V) using fixed voltage.

2) To construct a constant current source using three terminal voltage regulator.

2. IC 7805

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
Fig.1 Constant Current Source using IC 7805

THEORY
In the laboratory, one may need variable regulated voltages or a voltage that is not
available as standard fixed voltage regulator. This can be achieved by using a fixed three
terminal regulator as shown in Fig .1. Note that the ground (GND) terminal of the fixed
three terminal regulator is floating. The output voltage
Vo = VR + VL
= VR
________________ (1)
( IQ + IL) RL ______________ (2)
109

Department of ECE
= VR + IQ RL + VRRL/ R ____________ (3)

Or
Vo = (1+ RL / R) VR + RL IQ ________ (4)
Therefore
Vo=(1+ RL / R) VR ------------ (5) (Since IQ is negligible )
Where VR is the regulated voltage difference between the OUT and GND terminals. The
effect of IQ is minimized by choosing RL small enough & the term IQ R2 can be neglected.
The minimum output voltage is the value of the fixed voltage available from the regulator.
The LM117, 217,317, IC78XX positive regulators and LM137, 237,337, IC 79XX negative
regulators have been specially designed to be used for obtaining adjustable output voltages.
It is possible to adjust output voltage from 1.2V to 40V and current up to 1.5 A. Adjustable
voltage regulators provided the answers to the excessive inventory and production costs
because a single device satisfies many voltages requirements from 1.2 up to 57 V. In
addition, they have the following performance and reliability advantages over the fixed
types.
Improved system performance by having line and load regulation of a factor of 10 or

better.
Improved overload protection allows greater output current over operating

temperature range.
Improved system reliability with each device being subjected to 100% thermal limit
burn-in.
Thus, adjustable voltage regulators have become more popular because of versatility,
performance, and reliability. The IC 78XX & LM317 series are the most commonly used
general purpose adjustable positive voltage regulators. IC 79XX and LM 337 series are the
most commonly used adjustable negative voltage regulators.
PROCEDURE:
2. Apply the unregulated voltage to the IC 7805 and note down the regulator output
voltage, vary input voltage from 12V to 30V and record the output voltages.
3. Vary the load resistance in steps (by keeping i/p voltage constant) & measure the
regulator output.
4. Calculate the load current in the circuit by varying the input voltage & load Resistance in
steps.
5. Calculate the line regulation & load regulation of the regulator using the formulae
Line Regulation = VO / Vi
Line Regulation = VO / IL
6. Plot the curve between unregulated input voltage and the regulated output voltage &
compare it with the expected wave form shown in Fig.2.
