    This document describes an experiment to evaluate the common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of a 741 operational amplifier. The circuit was constructed and a common mode input voltage of 10V peak-to-peak at 60Hz was applied. The common mode input and output voltages were measured to determine the common mode gain. The CMRR was then calculated and found to improve when the circuit was modified by lowering a resistor value, demonstrating higher common mode rejection.

    TITLE: COMMON MODE REJECTION RATIO


    AIM: To evaluate a 741 Op-common amp's mode rejection ratio.

    INTRODUCTION:
    A 741 operational amplifier's common-mode rejection will be evaluated in this
    experiment. An ideal op-amp should have zero output voltage if the same signal
    is applied simultaneously to both inputs, known as the common-mode input.
    There will be a small but finite output voltage when both input voltages are the
    same since operational amplifiers are imperfect devices. Common-mode
    rejection, abbreviated CMR for common-mode rejection, is the ratio of the
    common-mode input voltage to the generated output voltage and is measured in
    decibels. Better rejection and a smaller output voltage are both correlated with a
    higher CMR.

    The pin configuration for the LM741 is given below;

    MATERIALS:
    ➢ Function Generator
    ➢ Oscilloscope
    ➢ Dual DC Power Supply
    ➢ Digital Multi-meter
    ➢ LM741 Op-amp
    ➢ Resistors (1/4W) – 2 x 100Ω, 10KΩ, 2 x 100KΩ
    ➢ Potentiometer – 10KΩ
    ➢ Cables – BNC-BNC, BNC-Crocodile Clips, Oscilloscope probes (x2)
    ➢ Breadboard & Connecting wires
    USEFUL FORMULAS:

    PROCEDURE:
    1. The circuit was constructed as depicted in figure 2.0. And the oscilloscope
    was adjusted to the following settings:
    Channel 1: 2V/division, ac coupling
    Channel 2: 0.02V/division, ac coupling
    base: 5ms/division

    Figure 2.0 – Schematic diagram of the circuit


    2. The power was supplied to the circuit. The common-mode input voltage,
    or Vin, was the input voltage adjusted to 10V peak-to-peak at a frequency
    of about 60Hz (cm). With this voltage value, precision was maximized.
    3. A DMM was used to measure the rms common-mode input and output
    voltages, which were then reported under results. The common-mode
    input and output voltages were used to determine the common-mode
    voltage gain, Acm, which was recorded under results.

    4. The differential voltage gain, Av(d), which was based on all four resistors,
    is provided in the "Useful Formulas" section and is used to describe this
    circuit as a difference amplifier or difference circuit. After calculating the
    differential voltage gain for your device, the common-mode rejection (in
    dB) was derived. The majority of 741 op-amp manufacturers specify a
    minimum CMR of 70 dB, however 90 dB is more common.

    5. In the circuit seen in figure 2.0, for instance, the CMR was improved by
    lowering one or more resistors. R4 was converted to a 100k series
    connection.After removing the circuit's dc power and signal generator,
    we only left a potentiometer and a 10k resistor.A 100k potentiometer was
    used to replace R4.
    6. The common-mode input voltage was tuned to 10V peak-to-peak at a
    60Hz frequency after the circuit received power once more.
    7. The operational amplifier's output at pin 6 was examined using the
    oscilloscope while the 100k potentiometer was set for a low output
    voltage.

    8. Repeating steps 3 and 4 while using a 1000-fold differential gain. The


    results were recorded.
    DISCUSSION:
    1. Explain in your own words what you understand by the Common
    Mode Rejection. How is higher value of CMRR better for Op-amps?
    -A very high CMRR value means that the differential gain Av(d) is
    strong and the commonmode gain Acm is low. Hence, the higher the CMRR, the
    better. Well-designed differential amplifiers, which yield high CMRR, often have
    high differential gain and low common mode gain.

    2. Do you see an improvement in the CMR in step 8? Comment.


    -Certainly, as the CMR rises, the rejection improves and the output
    voltage decreases.

    CONCLUSION:
    To conclude the common mode rejection ratio of a 741 Op-amp could be
    determined when this experiment was finished. As a result, the output voltage
    drops and the rejection increases as the CMR increases.
