Answers of Report Questions

NON INVERTING AMPLIFIER:
Ans. to the Question no. 1:
Comparison of node voltage A,B,C,D, between the measured and pre-lab values.
Voltages
VA
VB
VC
VD

Measured value
0.97V
0.88V
0.88V
4.91V

Pre-lab value
1V
0.9V
0.9V
5.04V

Comment: The values are almost same.

Ans. to the Question no. 2:
From measured voltages of VB and VC we can see the values are same. So the node A and
B are virtually connected or ground.
Ans. to the Question no. 3:
Af = V0/V1= D/A = 4.91/0.97 = 5.06

Comment: The values are very close to each others.

Ans. to the Question no. 4:
VR1= 0.88V, VR2= 4.03V, VRA= 0.09V, VRB= 0.88V
IRA=(0.09-0)/0.1 =0.9mA
IRB=(0.88-0)/0.98=0.510.973=0.52mA
IR1=Vc/R1=0.88/2.1= 0.42mA
IR2=(Vo-Vc)/R2= (4.91-0.88)/9.8 = 0.41mA

Ans. to the Question no. 5:

II = VI/(RA+RB) = .97/(.98+.1) = 0.9
ZI= V1/II= 0.97/0.9= 1.08k
Comparison between measured value and pre-lab value shown in
below

ZI

Measured value
1.08k

Pre-lab value
1.1k

Comment: Those values are almost same.

ADDER CIRCUIT
Ans. to the Question no. 1:
From the measurement in stapes 2, we used v1=5V and V2=2V.
Where Rf=2.1k, R1=2.1k and R2=0.98k.
We know, Vo

= -{(Rf/R1)V1+(Rf/R2)V2}
= -{(2.1/2.1)V1+(2.1/.98)V2}

= -(V1+2.143V2)
From pre-lab design, Vo=-(V1+2.2V2)
Comment: From the designs we can see that, the results are almost
same.
Ans. to the Question no. 2:
In step 3, from the signal generator we measured the output voltage amplitude (p-p),
Vo= 6.24V.
But when we measured the design output voltage (p-p) at step 3 we got,
Vo= 9.13V.
This is so difference from the signal generator value.
Comment: Those values have difference because of the DC and AC
output voltages are exactly not same at same input voltage.

The peak-peak value of signal generator is 5 V. So, amplitude will be

2.5 V.
Expression of V1 and V2,
V1(t)=Vpsin(t+0) = 2.5 sin (t)
V2(t)=Vpsin(t+90) = 2.5 cos(t)
V1+V2= 2.5 [sin(t)+cos(t)]
V(t) = 2.5 sin(2t+90)
Comment: From the calculated value we see the amplitude of V 1 and V2
are 2.5 and we also see that the amplitude of Pspice graph V 1 and V2
are 2.5. From calculation, V 2 leads V1 by 900 and from the graph we see
that the V2 signal starts before than V1 signal. So the calculated and
Pspice values shows the same result.
Conclusion: In this experiment we designed circuits which contain 741 Op-Amp and
others circuit elements and learned about the study of 741 Op-Amp characteristics as
non-inverting amplifier and adder form.
