Operational Amplifier Lab Report

This lab report describes experiments performed with operational amplifiers. The purpose was to familiarize students with operational amplifier configurations including summing, scaling using feedback resistors, and gain control. Equipment used included a power supply, operational amplifier, voltmeter, and potentiometers. Data was collected on the summing effect by applying voltage inputs and measuring the output. For scaling, input voltages were applied and output voltages measured for different feedback resistor values to calculate scaling factors. Gain control was tested by applying input voltages and measuring output voltages for different potentiometer settings, with calculated and measured gains compared. The student concluded they learned how operational amplifiers can be used to sum signals, scale inputs, and control gain.

Introduction to Operational Amplifier


Khalid Akram (17EL12)
Purpose:
 This lab will familiarize you with the properties and operations of operational amplifiers. In this lab we will
use the operational amplifier to implement several different practical configurations of the operational
amplifier.
 In this lab, you will first simulate the different configurations for the operational amplifier: Summing Effect,
Scaling Using Feedback Resistor, and Gain Control.
 To apply circuit analysis with ideal op--‐amps, use nodal analysis but with these “golden rules” shown
below: (1) no current flows into the op--‐amp and (2) the input voltages are identical.

Equipment Required: 1) Power Supply, 2) Amplifier, 3) Voltmeter and 4) Potentiometer.

Equipment-1: The Summing Effect of an Operational Amplifier.


Circuit:
Procedure:
 Set the selector switch on QA150A to the 100KΩ
 Connect the voltmeter between 0V and the slider of each
potentiometer on AU150B ie terminals 1 & 2 and 4 & 5 and adjust
for zero reading.
 Connect the voltmeter between 0V and the output V0 on QA150A,
terminal 6, and adjust the 'zero set’ control to give a zero reading.
 Keeping potentiometer 1 at zero, set potentiometer 2 to give +2V between its slider and 0V using the
voltmeter as indicator. Measure Vo and enter the values in your own copy of the table shown in fig
 Apply various values of both positive and negative voltage to V 1 keeping V1 at zero.
 Then keeping V2 at zero apply similar inputs to V1 .
 Finally vary both V1 and V2
 Complete the table by computing

Equipment-2: Scaling Using Feedback Resistor


Circuit:
Procedure:
 Switch the feedback selector switch to 'external feedback'.

Lab 1 Report Day of Lab: Wednesday
 The upper potentiometer is used to vary the value of R 2 in fig which should vary the scaling factor
 Apply an input of +2 V. and measure Vo for settings of 0 and 10 on potentiometer
 Tabulate your results as in your own copy of the table
 Calculate the scaling factor Vo/Vi for your results

Data Analysis:
Vi R2 Setting Vo Vo/Vi

Equipment-3: Gain control


Circuit:
Procedure:
 This time terminal 3 of the upper potentiometer is connected to the
output of the operational amplifier and the other to OV, while the
slider is an input into the operational amplifier. Remember that the
selector on the °At 50A should be kept at 'external feedback'.
 Connect the voltmeter between the output Vo of QA 150A and OV.
 Make a copy of the table in fig. in which to record your results.
 For positions 1 to 10 of Potentiometer 1 and for 1V settings on
Potentiometer 2 take readings of the value of Vo.
 Repeat for a 2V setting on Potentiometer 2.
 When potentiometer is a 1 the value of a, is about 1/10 remembering that some scale error will exist. Thus
the overall gain should be -1/α=-10
 Enter the measured gain in column 4 of your copy of fig and calculate the gain -1/α each potentiometer
setting. Compare the measured and calculated values.

Conclusion:

This lab will familiarize me with the properties and operations of operational amplifiers. In this lab I know how an
operational amplifier can be used to sum. Scaling and Gain of Amplifiers. By Using Amplifiers, I am able to use an
operational amplifier to scale an input and as gain control.
