- Select, measure, and record the values of three resistors,
,
and
.
Obtain a 747 op-amp.
Assemble the circuit shown in Figure
. Be sure to include
the power connections
and
from the power supply circuit of
Figure
to
and
of the 747 chip as shown in Figure
.
In addition, the ground nodes shown in Figure
are to be connected
to the common node of Figure
.
Note that Figure
shows two
connections.
There are two 741 op-amps in each 747 chip. There is a separate
for each op-amp. Connect a wire between the two
pins.
Also note that the pins labeled NC are not connected to anything.
- Using the function generator apply a 1 volt peak-to-peak, 10 kHz sine
wave as
. Note that you need to verify the peak-to-peak voltage using
the oscilloscope.
- Using the oscilloscope, display both the op-amp's input and
output waveforms. You can do this by using channel 1 at the input and
channel 2 for the output. Find the
peak-to-peak voltage of the output waveform.
-
Record the peak-to-peak voltage of
and find the gain of this op-amp
configuration (Equation
.)
- Increase the peak-to-peak voltage of the function generator until the top of the
output sine wave is being cut off. This effect is called clipping, and it occurs when the
desired amplification would produce an output voltage greater than
the bounds of
and
dictated by the power supply. Measure
the voltage of the top half of the sine wave and record this value. Do the same thing
with the bottom half of the sine wave. How do these values compare to the values recorded for
and
?
- Compare the gain you found in Step
to the theoretical gain of the inverting op-amp.
