  • LABORATORYINVESTIGATION 31Op-Amp Frequency Response and Compensation

    IntroductionAn inverting amplifier using a 741 op-amp is constructed and tested to determine its band-width. The circuit gain is modified, and the bandwidth is again investigated. The slew rateof the op-amp is next investigated by applying a square wave and measuring the rise timeof the output waveform. The slew-rate-limited cutoff frequency is then investigated. Aninverting amplifier using an LM108 op-amp is also investigated for bandwidth.

    EquipmentOscilloscopeSignal generator;DC power supply; (0 to 15 V)0.25 W resistors(2 100 ), (2 1 k), 10 k, 100 k30 V capacitors3 pF, 30 pF, 1500 pFOp-amps741, LM108Circuit board

    Procedure 1 741 Op-amp Circuit Bandwidth1-1 Using a 741 op-amp, construct the inverting amplifier circuit shown in Fig. 31-1 and

    connect the test equipment as shown.1-2 Switch on the power supply and adjust it for VCC ;15 V.1-3 Set the signal generator for a 1 kHz sine wave and adjust the signal amplitude to

    produce a 100 mV peak-to-peak circuit output. (Note that it may be necessary to usea resistive attenuator to reduce the signal amplitude.)

    1-4 Record the input voltage (vi) and calculate the closed-loop gain (ACL); then main-taining the input voltage constant, increase the signal frequency until the output fallsto approximately 70.7 mV peak-to-peak. Record the upper cutoff frequency ( f2).

    1-5 Change resistor R1 to 1 k to reduce the voltage gain by a factor of 10.

  • 1-6 Repeat Procedures 1-3 and 1-4.1-7 Connect a 1500 pF capacitor in parallel with R2; then repeat Procedures 1-3 and 1-4.

    Procedure 2 Slew Rate Effects2-1 Using the inverting amplifier circuit in Fig. 31-1 (with R1 100 and R2 10 k),

    reset the signal generator for a 1 kHz square wave, and adjust the signal amplitudeto produce a 10 V peak-to-peak output.

    2-2 Measure the output rise time (tr), adjusting the signal frequency as necessary to givean accurate measurement. Record tr and calculate the slew rate (SR).

    2-3 Reset the signal to a 1 kHz sine wave and adjust the signal amplitude to produce a10 V peak-to-peak output.

    2-4 Maintaining the input voltage constant, increase the signal frequency until the out-put falls to approximately 7.07 V peak-to-peak. Record the slew-rate-limited cutofffrequency ( fp) along with the closed-loop gain and output peak amplitude.

    Analysis1 Comment on the range of adjustment of the MOSFET gate-source voltages (VR7 and

    VR8) and drain current levels as measured for Procedures 1-5 through 1-7.2 Discuss the circuit voltages measured for Procedures 1-4 through 1-6.3 Calculate the overall voltage gain from the results of Procedure 2-3. Comment on

    the peak output voltages in comparison to the supply voltages.4 From the results of Procedure 2-5, plot the amplifier frequency response and

    estimate the cutoff frequencies ( f1 and f2). 5 Calculate f1 and f2 from the component values and compare to the measured cutoff

    frequencies.

    1-3 Connect the power supply and switch it on and off again. While the power supply ison, observe the supply current levels (Is() and Is()), which are largely the MOSFETdrain currents. Is() and Is() should not exceed 75 mA for this particular circuit, anddepending on the MOSFETs used, it may be necessary the change the resistances ofR7 and R8.

    1-4 Connect the oscilloscope to monitor the output for circuit oscillation.1-5 Switch the supply on again, and with R3 at its maximum resistance, measure Is() and

    Is(). Measure the dc voltages throughout the circuit. Record all measured values onthe laboratory record sheet.

    1-6 Switch off the power supply and adjust R3 to its minimum resistance. Switch thepower supply on (and off again if necessary), and note the supply current levels.

    1-7 With the supply on, adjust R3 to give Is() and Is() approximately equal to 75 mA.Once again measure the circuit voltages.

    1-8 Connect the 20 load resistor; then check that the circuit dc voltage and currentlevels are unaffected.

    LABORATORYINVESTIGATION 39SCR Characteristics and 90 Phase Control

    IntroductionThe characteristics of an SCR are first determined by applying a constant anode voltage(VA) and increasing the gate-cathode voltage (VGK) until the SCR switches on. The gatecurrent and voltage are noted at the switch-on instant, and VAK is measured after switch-on.The process is repeated with different levels of VA. An SCR 90 phase control circuit is nextconstructed and tested by monitoring the ac supply and load waveforms for various controlelement settings.

    EquipmentTwo dc power supplies;(0 to 20 V)Two dc voltmeters(0 to 20 V)DC ammeter(0 to 100 mA)DC ammeter(0 to 20 A)Oscilloscope115 V, 60 Hz variable-voltage transformer (variac)115 V, 60 Hz, 1:1 isolating transformer 0.25 W resistors120 , 270 , (2 1 k), 1.5 k, 2.2 k0.5 W potentiometer1.5 k3 W resistor100 Low-current SCR2N5064Low-current diode1N914Circuit board

    Procedure 1 SCR Forward Characteristics1-1 Construct the SCR circuit in Fig. 39-1a according to the connection diagram in

    Fig. 39-1b. 1-2 Set both power supply voltages to zero; then switch on and adjust VA to 5 V. At this

    time VGK, IG, and IA should all be zero.

  • 1-3 Slowly increase VG until the SCR fires (IA suddenly increases). Record the levels of IGand VGK at (or just before) the instant IA increases. (It may be necessary to repeat theprocess several times to get accurate measurements. To do so, VG should be reducedto zero, and VA should be switched off and then on again.)

    1-4 Record VAK and IA when the SCR is on.1-5 Reduce VG to zero; then switch VA off and on, and again note the levels of VAK

    and IA. 1-6 Adjust VA to 10 V. 1-7 Slowly increase VG until the SCR fires again. Record IG and VGK as explained in

    Procedure 1-3. Record VAK and IA with the SCR on.

    explained in Procedure 1-3. Record VAK and IA with the SCR on once again.1-11 Reduce VG to zero and reconnect the VGK voltmeter to measure VA. Then progres-

    sively adjust VA to 4 V, 3 V, and 2 V, recording VAK and IA at each step.1-12 Disconnect the voltmeter measuring VAK; then, observing IA, slowly reduce VA from

    IntroductionA photoconductive cell is connected to an ohmmeter and covered so that its dark resistancecan be measured. The cell is illuminated, and the resistance is monitored as the light level isvaried. In this way the illumination characteristic of the photo-conductive cell is investigated.A circuit in which the light level on a photoconductive cell controls the current in a lightemitting diode (LED) is constructed and tested with various illumination intensities. A solarcell is illuminated, and its output voltage is measured at various load currents. The processis repeated to produce the solar cell characteristics for two levels of illumination.
