waveforms.
Objectives: After completion of this experiment, student will be able to design and setup a
voltage follower using OP AMP. He/she will get ability to design a voltage follower circuit.

5 IC 741C 1
6 Probes and connecting wires As required.

Principle:
A voltage follower (also called a unity-gain amplifier or buffer amplifier or isolation
amplifier) is an op-amp circuit which has a voltage gain of 1. This means that the op amp
does not provide any amplification to the signal. It is called a voltage follower because the
output voltage follows the input voltage; means the output voltage is same as the input
voltage. Though the gain is unity, this circuit offers high input impedance and low output
impedance and hence it is used as buffer , which is used to isolate a low impedance load from
a voltage source to eliminate any loading that might occur.

1. Check the components.

6 Resistors 2
7 Probes and connecting wires As required.

Principle:

It is a closed loop mode application of opamp and employs negative feedback. The Rf
and Ri are the feedback and input resistance of the circuit respectively. The input terminals of
the opamp draws no current because of the large differential input impedance. The potential
difference across the input terminals of an opamp is zero because of the large open loop gain.
Due to these two conditions, the inverting terminal is at virtual ground potential. So the
current flowing through Ri and Rf are the same.

Ii = If

That is Vin/Ri = - Vo /Rf

Therefore Vo/Vin = Av = - Rf/ Ri,

Here the –Ve sign indicates that the output will be an amplified wave with 1800 phase
shift (inverted output). By varying the Rf or Ri, the gain of the amplifier can be varied to any
desired value.

Principle:
It is a regenerative comparator or it is a comparator with hysteresis. This circuit uses
positive feedback and the op-amp is operated in saturation. The output can take two values
+Vsat and –Vsat. When output = +Vsat, the voltage appearing at the non-inverting
terminal is VUT or UTP = +Vsat( R1/R1+R2) called the upper threshold point. Similarly

LTP = -Vsat( R1/R1+R2) called the lower threshold point. When Vin is greater than UTP, the
output will switch from +Vsat to –Vsat. Similarly When Vin is less than LTP; the output will
switch from -Vsat to +Vsat which is shown in the graph. The difference between UTP-LTP is
called hysteresis. Hysteresis avoids false triggering of the circuit by noise. Hysteresis curve is

between +Vsat and –Vsat giving square wave output. This circuit is also called free
running oscillator or square wave generator . A positive feedback with feedback factor
β = R1 / (R1+R2) is provided to the non-inverting terminal. When Vo= +Vsat, the capacitor C
starts to charge to + Vsat through R. when the capacitor voltage crosses +βVsat, output
switches from +Vsat to –Vsat. Now the voltage appearing at the non-inverting terminal is
–βVsat and capacitor discharges through R towards -Vsat. When the capacitor voltage
crosses –βVsat, the output switches from –Vsat to + Vsat and this process continues to
generate square wave output with time period T=T on + Toff= 2RC ln[(1+β)/(1-β)]. In

Principle:
RC phase shift oscillator uses op-amp, in inverting amplifier
mode and the circuit generates its own output signal. It consists of an op-amp as an amplifier
and 3 RC cascaded network as the feedback circuit. Since the op-amp is used in the inverting
mode, any signal that appears at the inverting terminal is shifted by 180 0 at the output. An
additional 180 0 phase shift required for oscillation is provided by the cascaded RC network.
Thus the total phase shift around the circuit is 360 0 or 0 0 . At some specific frequency, the
phase shift of the cascaded RC network is exactly 180 0 and feedback factor is 1/29. If the

Principle: The 555 timer is a highly stable device for generating accurate time delay .The
internal structure of 555 is shown in which there are two comparators, a flip flop, an output
stage, a voltage divider network and a transistor. The comparator is a device whose output is
high when the non-inverting input voltage is greater than inverting input voltage and output is
low when inverting input voltage is greater than non-inverting input voltage. The voltage
divider network consist of three 5KΩ resistors and provides a trigger voltage level of 1/3V CC
and threshold voltage level of 2/3VCC.The control voltage is used for changing the threshold
and trigger voltages externally.
555 as Astable multivibrator: Astable multivibrator means it has no stable states. It has two
quasi stable states (high and low).In the figure given , there are 2 external resistors R A and RB
and a capacitor C. When the power is given to the circuit the capacitor C will charge towards
VCC through RA and RB ,when the capacitor voltage exceeds the level of 2/3V CC (threshold
voltage) the output of the comparator I goes high which resets the flip flop so the output Q of
the flip-flop becomes low and becomes high. Now the transistor which is connected to
becomes ON. The capacitor C started to discharge through R B and transistor exponentially.
When voltage across capacitor reaches just below of 1/3V CC (trigger voltage) the output of
the comparator II becomes high and sets the flip flop, turning OFF the transistor since it is
connected to the of the flip flop. The capacitor C will begin to charge towards V CC through
RA and RB. when the capacitor voltage exceeds the level of 2/3V CC, the output of the
comparator I goes high which resets the flip-flop so the output Q of the flip flop becomes low
and becomes high. The cycle continues which gives a square wave at the output (pin 3)
and charging and discharging wave form across capacitor (pin 2&6).
555 as Symmetrical astable multivibrator: Symmetrical astable multivibrator means the
multivibrator has equal ON time & OFF time (duty cycle =50%).we can achieve this by
making the charging (towards 2/3 VCC) and discharging (towards 1/3V CC) process of
capacitor through equal resistance path. In the circuit diagram the diode (1N 4001) is
connected across the resistor R B so the charging of capacitor above threshold voltage
(2/3VCC) takes place through the resistor R A and forward biased diode. The discharging
below trigger voltage (1/3VCC) is through the resistor RB. Since RA and RB have same value,
charging and discharging time of the capacitor will be same.
555 as Asymmetrical astable multivibrator: Asymmetrical astable multivibrator means the
multivibrator has unequal ON time & OFF time (duty cycle other than50%).In the circuit
diagram the charging of capacitor towards threshold voltage (2/3V CC) takes place through the
resistor RA and RB, discharging towards trigger voltage (1/3V CC) is through the resistor RB.
Since charging and discharging process of the capacitor takes place through different
resistance path, the charging time and discharging time of the capacitor will be different,
which results in asymmetrical output wave.

Procedure:

1. Check the components.

2. Setup the symmetric astable multivibrator circuit on the breadboard and check the

Principle:
The monostable multivibrator has one stable state and one quasi stable state.
Monostable multivibrator produces an output pulse with defined time period for each external
trigger pulse applied. It comes out of the stable state only by use of an external signal called
trigger.
When the output is low, that is, the circuit is in stable state. Upon application of
trigger pulse to pin 2, the output of the comparator II becomes high which sets the flip flop
high. As the output is high, the transistor becomes OFF since it is connected to the of the
flip flop. Capacitor starts to charge through R towards V CC, as soon as the capacitor voltage
crosses 2/3 VCC (threshold voltage) the output of the comparator I becomes high so the flip-
flop will reset and out goes to low. At the same time transistor turns ON and hence capacitor
rapidly discharges through the transistor. The output of this circuit remains low until a
trigger pulse is again applied . The time during which the output remains high is given by
T = 1.1 RC.
