PREPARED BY: ROMEO LEWIS H. TAN

Practical Applications of Operational Amplifiers


Objective:

To design and implement a circuit showcasing a practical application of operational amplifiers, addressing a real-world
need and integrating user-selectable and adjustable features.

Activity Outline:

1. Propose a Practical Application:


o Identify a real-world problem or need that can be addressed using an op-amp-based circuit.
o Examples include:
▪ Signal conditioning for sensors - Condition the output of a temperature sensor for display or
further processing.
▪ Voltage monitoring for power supplies - Monitor and indicate battery levels for portable devices.
▪ Analog computation for control systems - Monitor light levels for a smart lighting system
▪ Oscillators for timing circuits - Generate signals for testing other circuits or devices.
2. Define Circuit Objectives:
o Specify the functionality your circuit will provide.
o Highlight why an op-amp is suitable for the application.
3. Include User Interaction:
o Incorporate a user-selectable feature (e.g., mode selection, range adjustment).
o Include a variable threshold or parameter (e.g., gain, reference voltage, or cutoff frequency) that can be
adjusted using a potentiometer or similar component.
4. Core Design Requirements:
o The circuit must include at least two distinct op-amp configurations (e.g., amplification + filtering,
comparator + oscillator).
o Demonstrate practical utility and align with the proposed application.
5. Steps for Completion:
o Phase 1: Proposal
▪ Submit a short write-up describing the selected application, circuit objectives, and expected
outcomes.
o Phase 2: Design
▪ Perform calculations and design the circuit schematic.
▪ Define the user-selectable and variable threshold features.
o Phase 3: Simulation
▪ Simulate the circuit to verify functionality and refine the design.
o Phase 4: Implementation
▪ Build the circuit on a breadboard or PCB and test it.
o Phase 5: Analysis
▪ Validate the circuit using appropriate testing equipment.
▪ Record measurements and compare them with theoretical predictions.
6. Deliverables:
o Proposal: Description of the application and design objectives.
o Final Paper: Include calculations, schematic, and simulation results.
o Working Prototype: Demonstration of the built circuit with functional user-selectable and variable
threshold features.
