Integrator and Differetiator

The document describes an experiment to realize the operation of an integrator and differentiator circuit using an op-amp. An integrator circuit uses a capacitor for feedback to produce an output voltage that is the integral of the input signal. A differentiator circuit uses a capacitor as the input and resistor for feedback to produce an output voltage that is the derivative of the input signal. The experiment involves connecting integrator and differentiator circuits using an op-amp and function generator, and observing the input and output waveforms on an oscilloscope to verify their operations.

Realization of Op- Amp as Integrator and differentiator


Aim:- To realize the operation of an integrator and differentiator for a given input.
Apparatus required: Trainer Kit, Function Generator, Cathode Ray Oscilloscope and Connecting
wires.

Theory:-
Integrator: In an integrator circuit, the output voltage is integral of the input signal. Here capacitor
will act as the feedback element for closed loop configuration. The output voltage of an integrator
is given by

As the output voltage polarity is negative, it indicates input voltage is given in the inverting
terminal & so there will be a 180 degrees phase shift between input & output voltages. At low
frequencies the gain becomes infinite, so the capacitor is fully charged and behaves like an open
circuit. The gain of an integrator at low frequency can be limited by connecting a resistor in shunt
with capacitor. So, integrator will behave as Low Pass Filter (LPF).

Differentiator: In the differentiator circuit the output voltage is the differentiation of the input
voltage. Here capacitor will be used as input & resistor will be used as feedback in the closed loop
configuration. The output voltage of a differentiator is given by

As the output voltage polarity is negative, it indicates that input voltage is given in the inverting
terminal & so there will be a 180 degrees phase shift between input & output voltages. The input
impedance of this circuit decreases with increase in frequency, thereby making the circuit sensitive
to high frequency noise. At high frequencies circuit may become unstable. Differentiator acts as
High Pass Filter (HPF).
