- Using the three resistors you acquired for Section 6.2,
assemble the circuit shown in Figure
.
- 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 the op-amp's output waveform. 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 you achieve
clipping. 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 non-inverting op-amp.
