IV Semester (ECE)
 Introduction

A linear integrated circuit (linear IC) is a solid-state analog device

characterized by a theoretically infinite number of possible operating states.
It operates over a continuous range of input levels. In contrast, a digital IC
has a finite number of discrete input and output states.
Within a certain input range, the amplification curve of a linear IC is a
straight line; the input and output voltages are directly proportional. The best
known, and most common, linear IC is the operational amplifier or op amp ,
which consists of resistors, diodes, and transistors in a conventional analog
circuit. There are two inputs, called inverting and non-inverting. A signal
applied to the inverting input results in a signal of opposite phase at the
output. A signal applied to the non-inverting input produces a signal of
identical phase at the output. A connection, through a variable resistance ,
between the output and the inverting input is used to control the
amplification factor .
Linear ICs are employed in audio amplifiers, A/D (analog-to-digital)
converters, averaging amplifiers, differentiators, DC (direct-current)
amplifiers, integrators, multivibrators, oscillators, audio filters, and sweep
generators. Linear ICs are available in most large electronics stores. Some
devices contain several amplifiers within a single housing.

Op-Amp
An operational amplifier ("op-amp") is a DC-coupled high-gain electronic
voltage amplifier with a differential input and, usually, a single-ended
output. An op-amp produces an output voltage that is typically hundreds of
thousands times larger than the voltage difference between its input
terminals.
Operational amplifiers are important building blocks for a wide range of
electronic circuits. They had their origins in analog computers where they
were used in many linear, non-linear and frequency-dependent circuits.
Their popularity in circuit design largely stems from the fact the
characteristics of the final elements (such as their gain) are set by external
components with little dependence on temperature changes and
manufacturing variations in the op-amp itself.
The circuit symbol for an op-amp is shown below, where:
 : non-inverting input
 : inverting input
 : output
 : positive power supply
 : negative power supply

IC 741
IC-741 is a 8-pin IC. The pin diagram is shown below. Every IC
should be supplied with positive and negative dc voltages of +12
and –12 volts respectively. +12V should be supplied to pin-7 and –
12V to pin-4. Pin-2 is the inverting input pin and Pin-3 is the
noninverting input pin. Output can be measured at the output pin-6
with respect to the breadboard ground.
Pins 1 and 5 are used for output offset voltage compensation.
These two pins are not required for normal applications.

HARDWARE REQUIRED
a. Power supply : variable regulated low voltage dc source
b. Equipments : CRO
c. Resistors : Various
d. Capacitors : Various
e. Semiconductors : IC 741 op-amp
f. Miscellaneous : Bread board and wires

In this laboratory experiment, you will learn several basic ways in

which an op-amp can be connected using –ve feedback to stabilize
the gain and increase the frequency response. The extremely high
open-loop gain of an op-amp creates an unstable situation because
a small noise voltage on the input can be amplified to a point
where the amplifier in driven out of its linear region. Also
unwanted oscillations can occur. In addition, the open-loop gain
parameter of an op-amp can vary greatly from one device to the
next. Negative feedback takes a portion of output and applies it
back out of phase with the input, creating an effective reduction in
gain. This closed-loop gain is usually much less than the open-loop
gain and independent of it.

Closed – loop voltage gain, ACL

The closed-loop voltage gain is the voltage gain of an op-amp with
external feedback. The amplifier configuration consists of the op-
amp and an external –ve feedback circuit that connects the output
to the inverting input. The closed loop voltage gain is determined
by the external component values and can be precisely controlled
by them.

 It is the most widely used of all op-amp circuits. In the inverting
amplifier only one input is applied and that is to the inverting input.
The non-inverting input terminal is grounded. The output voltage is
fed back to the inverting input through the R f-R1 network. Input vi is
applied to the inverting input terminal through R1.

SUMMING AMPLIFIER
The summing amplifier is an application of the inverting op-amp
configuration. The summing amplifier has two or more inputs, and its output
age is proportional to the algebraic sum of its input voltages.

Case-1: If all the three resistors are equal (R1=R2=Rf=R) then

The above equation shows that the output voltage has the same magnitude as
the sum of two input voltages but with a –ve sign indicating inversion.

Case-2: When Rf is larger than the input resistors, the amplifier has a gain
of –Rf/R, where R is the value of each equal value input resistor (R1=R2=R).
The general expression for the output is

The above equation shows that the output voltage has the same magnitude as
the sum of all the input voltages multiplied by a constant determined by the
ratio –Rf/R.

Case-3: By setting the ration Rf/R equal to the reciprocal of the number of
inputs (n), ie., –Rf/R = 1/n , a summing amplifier can be made to produce
the mathematical average of the input voltages.
Case-4: A different weight can be assigned to each input of a summing
amplifier by simply adjusting the values of the input resistors. In this case,
the output voltage can be expressed as
The weight of a particular input is set by the ratio of Rf to Rx for the input
(Rx= R1, R2, ….)

Summing Amplifier can have 2 configurations-

 Inverting amplifier: - When the input signal is applied to the inverting
terminal and the non-inverting terminal is connected to ground, then
this configuration is said to be inverting amplifier.

SUBTRACTOR OR DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER

The function of a subtractor is to provide an output proportional to or equal

to the difference of two input signals. The output voltage of the differential
amplifier can be expressed as

Thus it can be seen that the output voltage depends on the difference of the
input voltages. (V1-V2) can be suitably amplified choosing the values of
R2/R1. The circuit also behaves as a subtractor if R2=R1.

Aim: - Design and study a differentiation amplifier.

Apparatus: - 741 IC, bread board, resistors (10kΩ, 1kΩ), capacitor

(0.1μf), dual power supply (+15V, -15V), function
generator, CRO with probes and connecting wires.

Theory: -
An op-amp differentiator simulates mathematical differentiation, which is a
process of determining the instantaneous rate of change of a function.
Differentiator performs the reverse of integration function. The output
waveform is derivative of the input waveform. Here, the input element is a
capacitor and the feedback element is a resistor.
The differentiator may be constructed from a basic inverting amplifier if the
input resistor R1 is replaced by a capacitor C1.

 The expression for the output voltage is:

Vo = -RfC1
 Thus the output Vo is equal to the RfC1 times the negative
instantaneous rate of change of the input voltage Vin with time.

 For proper differentiation, RfC1 has to be much smaller than the

time period of the input signal.
 It can be seen that at high frequencies a differentiator may
become unstable and break into oscillation. Also, the input impedance of
the differentiator decreases with increase in frequency, thereby making
the circuit sensitive to high frequency noise. So, in order to limit the gain
of the differentiator at high frequencies, the input capacitor may be
connected in series with a resistance R1 and hence avoiding high
frequency noise and stability problems. That circuit will be known as a
practical differentiator.

Precautions:-

1. The IC should be checked before making connections.

2. All the connections should be checked thoroughly before performing
experiment.

Theory: -
An op-amp integrator simulates mathematical integration which is basically
a summing process that determines the total area under the curve of a

 The output voltage is given by-

 Where VC (t=0) is the initial voltage on the capacitor. For proper

integration, RC has to be much greater than the time period of the
input signal.
 It can be seen that the gain of the integrator decreases with the
increasing frequency so, the integrator circuit does not have any high
frequency problem unlike a differentiator circuit. However, at low
frequencies such as at dc, the gain becomes infinite. Hence the op-
 amp saturates (ie., the capacitor is fully charged and it behaves like an
open circuit). In order to limit the gain of the integrator at low
frequencies, usually the feedback capacitor is shunted by a resistance
Rf, and hence saturation problems can be avoided.

Precautions:-

1. The IC should be checked before making connections.

2. All the connections should be checked thoroughly before performing
experiment.

AIM: - To generate a standard waveform using a 741 IC as an astable

Apparatus: - 741 IC, bread board, capacitor (0.1μf), resistors

(10kΩ, 1kΩ), variable potentiometer (10kΩ), dual power
supply (+15V, -15V), CRO and connecting wires.

Theory:-
 A multivibrator is an electronic circuit used to implement a variety of
simple two state systems such as oscillators, timers and flip flops. An
astable multivibrator has two states, neither one stable. The circuit
therefore behaves as an oscillator with the time spent in each state
controlled by the charging or discharging of a capacitor through a
resistor.

 The output of an operational amplifier is forced to swing repetitively

between positive saturation +Vsat and negative saturation -Vsat,
resulting in the square wave output.

 This square wave generator is also called a free running or astable

multivibrator.

 An astable multivibrator is a rectangular wave circuit.

 This does not require any external triggering to change the state of the
output, hence named free running multivibrator.

 The time during which the output is either high or low is determined
by the two resistors and a capacitor.

 The output of the op-amp in this circuit will be in positive and

negative saturation, depending on whether the differential voltage v id
is negative or positive, respectively.

supply (+15V, -15V), CRO, function generator and

Theory:-

 Wave shaping circuits are commonly used in digital computers and

communications such as TV and FM receivers.

 Wave shaping techniques include limiting, clipping and clamping.

 Clipper is a circuit that is used to clip off (remove) a certain portion of

the input signal to obtain a desired output wave shape.

 In op-amp clipper circuits, a rectifier diode may be used to clip off a

certain portion of the input signal to obtain a desired output
waveshape.

 A clipper circuit is of two types: positive clipper and a negative

clipper.

 Positive Clipper: - A positive clipper circuit removes positive parts of

the input signal. It can be formed by using and op-amp with a rectifier
diode as shown in figure given below.

 In this circuit the op-amp is basically used as a voltage follower with a

diode in the feedback path.

 The clipping level is determined by the reference voltage V ref , which

should be less than the input voltage range of the op-amp.
  Since Vref is derived from the positive supply voltage (+Vcc), the dc
supply voltages must be regulated.

 As shown in the waveform, the output voltage has portions of the half

follows the input only when the diode is ON.

 In the circuit diagram, if pot R p is connected to the negative supply

- VEE instead of + VCC, the reference voltage Vref will be negative.

 This will cause the entire output waveform above - V ref to be clipped
off as shown in (b). The output follows the input only when
Vin < - Vref.

 Negative Clipper:- The positive clipper circuit in fig.1 can be

converted into a negative clipper circuit by simply reversing the diode
D and changing the polarity of reference voltage Vref.

 The type of waveform generated by an oscillator depends on the

components in the circuit and hence may be sinusoidal, square or
triangular.

 In addition, the frequency of oscillation is determined by the

components in the feedback circuit.

 Because of its simplicity and stability, one of the most commonly

used audio frequency oscillator is the Wein Bridge.

 The bridge has a series RC network in one arm and a parallel RC

network in the adjoining arm.

 In the remaining two arms of the bridge, resistors R 1 and RF are

connected. The frequency of oscillation fo is given by

fo = 1 / 2πRC = 0.159 / RC
 In the provided circuit, we are using RC components which are most
suitable for audio frequency applications.

AIM: TRIANGULAR WAVE GENERATOR

USING OP-AMP
 Here am going to explain generation of triangular wave
using 741 op-amp.
 Triangular waves can also be generated by integrating
the output of symmetrical square wave generated by
the astable multivibrator.
 The triangular waves are used for studies.
 This circuit uses two operational amplifiers.
 Op-amp A1 functions as a comparator and op-amp A2
as an integrator.
 Comparator compares the voltage at point P
continuously with respect to the voltage at the inverting
input, which is grounded potential.
 When the voltage at P goes slightly below zero, the
output of A1 will switch to negative saturation.
 When the output of A1 is at positive saturation +Vsat,
this voltage is the input of the integrator, the output of
A2 will be a negative going ramp.
 Thus one end of the voltage divider R1-R2 is at +Vsat
and other at the negative going ramp.
 At time t=t1 ; when the -ve going ramp attains value of -
Vramp the effective voltage at point P becomes slightly
less than 0 V.
 This produce output of A1 from positive saturation to
negative saturation level -Vsat.
 During the time when the output of A1 is at -Vsat , the
output of A2 increases in positive direction.
 At the time t=t2 the voltage at point P becomes just
above 0 V, there by switching the output of A1 from -
Vsat to +Vast .
 The cycle repeat and generate triangular waveform.
 The frequency of triangular wave is f=R1/4 R2 R3 C

PSPICE Tutorial
1. What is SPICE?
SPICE (Simulation Program for Integrated Circuits Emphasis) is an analog
circuit simulator developed at Berkeley. Many different versions of SPICE
are available from many different vendors.
Common SPICEs include HSPICE, PSPICE, and B2SPICE. SPICE takes a
circuit netlist and performs mathematical simulation of the circuit's behavior.
A netlist describes the components in the circuit and how they are
connected. SPICE can simulate DC operating point, AC response, transient
response, and other useful simulations.
PSPICE uses a schematic capture program to generate the netlist, so you
simply have to draw your circuit in order to simulate it. PSPICE student
version for windows is available in download from at:
http://www.orcad.com/Product/Analog/download.ASP
PSpice has analog and digital libraries of standard components (such as
NAND, NOR, flip-flops, and other digital gates, op amps, etc) which makes
it a useful tool for a wide range of analog and digital applications.

Types of Analysis
• Non-linear DC analysis
• Non-linear transient analysis
• Linear AC Analysis
• Noise analysis
• Sensitivity analysis
• Distortion analysis
• Fourier analysis
• Monte Carlo Analysis
Circuit Components available
• Independent and dependent voltage and current sources
• Resistors
• Capacitors
• Inductors
• Mutual inductors
• Transmission lines
• Operational amplifiers
• Switches
• Diodes
• Bipolar transistors
• MOS transistors
• JFET
• MESFET
• Digital gates

Terminologies
• Subcircuit: A subcircuit allows you to define a collection of elements
as a subcircuit (e.g. an operational amplifier) and to insert this
description into the overall circuit.
• EDIF: Electronic Design Interchange Format, a standard published
by EIA. Usually used for netlists.

File structure PSPICE (Capture)

• Input file for PSpice that has the file type “.CIR”
• When a circuit is simulated “.OUT” is generated
• “*.DAT” file is by default a binary file to see the data
 • “*.LIB” files where the details of complex parts are saved
• Additional files
– *.SCH (the schematic data, itself)
– *.ALS (alias files)
– *.NET (network connection files)

Libraries
• These are files that contain reusable part data.
• They can be custom or default ones
• Some of the libraries available in the Evaluation version of PSPICE
are:
– abm.slb for special functions like square root and
multipliers
– analog.slb for analog components like resistors
and capacitors
– breakout.slb for pots
– connect.slb, .plb for connectors
– eval.slb, .plb for semiconductor, digital devices,
switches
– port.slb for grounds, high/low digital ports
– special.slb for ammeters, viewpoints source.slb for
various analog and digital sources
Parts
• Part is a basic building block which may represent
– One or more physical element
– Function
– Simulation model
 – When a part is placed for first time its entry is done in “Design
Cache”
Design Structure

• Flat Design
– Small designs
– All pages in same schematic
– Off Page connectors are used
– Figure shows design hierarchy
• Hierarchical Design
– Much complex designs
– Symbols are created called “Hierarchical Blocks”

Things to remember before starting

• PSpice is not case sensitive
 • All element names must be unique
• There must be a node designated "0" (Zero). This is the reference
node against which all voltages are calculated.
• If any change is made in circuit make sure you create netlist again
before simulating it.
Getting Started
• File à New à Project à Analog or Mixed A/D

• Next comes following window

• This is how a typical “Schematic” Window will look like

  Now start placing components and connecting them

• After completing the circuit save it and run it.

• Plot appropriate waveform by probing on circuit.

Design Example
• Take example of a high pass filter (RC)
• First we will follow initial steps of creating a new project
• Now placing the components.
Creating new simulation profile
 • Go to PSPICE à New Simulation Profile
• Give a name to profile and create

AC Analysis
• We can choose any of the analysis and options
• Here AC analysis is done to see operation of filter

Run
• Go to PSPICE à Run
• Another waveform window will come up
