Abstract The objective of this experiment was for the students to familiarize themselves with the basics of the Operational Amplifier (or OpAmp) by constructing circuit OpAmp, as well to test the principle of Transient Response by building circuits with capacitors and inductors and measuring different responses. Introduction We begin this experiment by getting familiar with the principals of an OpAmp and how it works in a circuit. An OpAmp circuit has the objective to either obtain the output voltage Vout of the circuit for a given set of input voltages, or to find the voltage gain Av which is equal to Vout/Vin. This can be obtained via the Open Circuit (i.e., I+ = I-= 0) & Short-circuits (i.e. V+ =V- ) principles. Procedure (Methods) OpAmp circuits:  Start with checking whether the OpAmp IC is operational or not by temporarily short- circuiting one of the inverting input terminals to ground to get an output voltage of zero (if not, replace IC unit).  Then go onto building the OpAmp circuits, Non-inverting amplifier circuit and testing out various principles such as saturation and increased Gain. Transient Response  We start building 1 st an RC circuit using the RLC chassis provided, and 2 nd an RL circuit with the schematic provided, all the while making the right connection between the Function Generator and the chassis.  We then go onto try and make an RLC circuit in order to get respectively an Overdamped RLC response, a Critically Damped Response, and finally an Underdamped Response Results and Discussion Operational Amplifiers  Inverter Circuit - For the inverter circuit made from Figure 4.1 of the lab manual, we have a display of a sinusoidal wave for channel 1 and 2. - We had an expected output amplitude of V o =(-R 2 /R 1 )V i = -6.16V but observed an expected output amplitude of 6.04V. - Simply put, the inverter means that the direction of the signal is changed compared to the input of the circuit.  Saturation - We were getting a sinusoidal wave when we increased the input amplitude and looked for saturation of the op-amp output voltage and noticed the channel 1 input starting to break slightly. - Saturation for an Op-Amp would mean that the output voltage approaches the power supply voltage 𝑉 s and even exceed.

- The maximum value of the output voltage that we observed without saturation was 28.40 V and the largest input voltage that does not give rise to saturation in the output 14.80 V  Increasing gain and Saturation Value of Gain 𝐺 = 𝑅 2 ⁄ 𝑅 1 Expected Amplitude Measured Amplitude of V 0 R 2 = 1 Ω G=1 5*1=5V V 0 = 10.40 R 2 = 2 Ω 2 10 V 0 = 20.40 R 2 = 3 Ω 3 15 V 0 = 28.40 R 2 = 4 Ω 4 20 V 0 = 28.80 R 2 = 5 Ω 5 25 V 0 = 28.80 R 2 = 6 Ω 6 30 V 0 = 28.80 - The circuit built does deliver the expected Gain for all R 2 values mentioned in the table - From the table, the maximum output voltage without saturation seems to 28.80V, and we found the value to be 28.40V, which is a bit smaller than the value measured. - In this part of the experiment, we neglected the output resistance of the function generator, which is 𝑅 S = 50 Ω. The 𝑅 S resistor completely changes the expected gain when put in the circuit. Figure 1: Circuit drawn with Rs and Vs Transient Response  Charging RC Circuit - For the RC circuit, we’re getting a square wave output with the calculated frequency  Time Constant - From the scope display, we use the paired cursor to measure the time constant by setting it correctly between the channel 1 and 2 - To measure the time Constant, we follow this formula 𝜏 =RC. In this case, R=3300Ω + 50 Ω from Rs and the provided C=22nF.
