Non-Inverting Amplifier

  1.   Using the three resistors you acquired for Section 6.2, assemble the circuit shown in Figure gif.
  2. 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.
  3. Using the oscilloscope, display the op-amp's output waveform. Find the peak-to-peak voltage of the output waveform.
  4.   Record the peak-to-peak voltage of and find the gain of this op-amp configuration (Equation gif.)
  5. 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 ?
  6. Compare the gain you found in Step gif to the theoretical gain of the non-inverting op-amp.
