Experiment 4: Comparators Objectives: After completing this experiment, you should be able to, 1. Observe the behavior of Op-amp as a comparator. 2. Build and test op-amp as a zero-level detector/sine-to-square wave convertor. Components needed: Instruments used: 1. Potentiometers: 1kΩ, 10kΩ 1. Digital Multimeter (DMM) 2. Op-Amp: (1) LM741CN 2. Function Generator 3. Oscilloscope Procedure: 1. Measure and record the potentiometer values listed in table 1 below. Remember to use outer pins of the potentiometer while measuring the total resistance. Listed value Measured value Pot - 1 kΩ 1 Pot - 10 kΩ 10 Table 1: Listed and measured values 2. The LM741C is 8-pin op-amp. The pinout is shown in Figure 1. Observe there is a notch and a dot on the IC. The left side pin to the notch/dot is pin 1. Figure 1: LM741 Pinout and Breadboard placing 3. Construct the following circuit shown in Figure 2 on the breadboard.

Measure the voltage at pin 2 and adjust the 1kΩ potentiometer according to the voltage listed in Table 2. 6. Measure the output voltage at pin 6 using DMM and record the result in Table 2. Pin 3 V+ Pin 2 V- Pin 6 V OUT 1V -1V 14v 5V -6V 14v -2V 7V -14v -5V 10V -14v Table 2: Calculated and measured values 7. Repeat step 4 through 6 for various voltage values at pin 3 and pin 2 as shown in Table 2. 8. Modify the above circuit as shown in Figure 3. Note that pin 3 is now connected to the function generator

Connect CH0 of the oscilloscope to the input signal and CH1 to the output (pin 6) of the comparator. 11. Tune the 1kΩ potentiometer by observing the rectangular wave until you get a perfect square wave with the amount of positive time being approximately the same as the amount of the negative time as shown in Figure 4.
