Theory:

The current series feedback amplifier is characterized by having shunt sampling

and series mixing. In amplifiers, there is a sampling network, which samples the output
and gives to the feedback network. The feedback signal is mixed with input signal by
either shunt or series mixing technique. Due to shunt sampling the output resistance
increases by a factor of ‘D’ and the input resistance is also increased by the same factor
due to series mixing. This is basically transconductance amplifier. Its input is voltage
which is amplified as current.

Theory:

In voltage shunt feedback amplifier, the feedback signal voltage is given to

the base of the transistor in shunt through the base resistor RB. This shunt connection
tends to decrease the input resistance and the voltage feedback tends to decrease the
output resistance. In the circuit RB appears directly across the input base terminal and
output collector terminal. A part of output is feedback to input through R B and increase in
IC decreases IB. Thus negative feedback exists in the circuit. So this circuit is also called
voltage feedback bias circuit. This feedback amplifier is known an transresistance
amplifier. It amplifies the input current to required voltage levels. The feedback path
consists of a resistor and a capacitor.

Theory:

In the RC phase shift oscillator, the required phase shift of 180˚ in the feedback
loop from the output to input is obtained by using R and C components, instead of tank
circuit. Here a common emitter amplifier is used in forward path followed by three
sections of RC phase network in the reverse path with the output of the last section being
returned to the input of the amplifier. The phase shift Ф is given by each RC section
Ф=tanˉ1 (1/ωrc). In practice R-value is adjusted such that Ф becomes 60˚. If the value
of R and C are chosen such that the given frequency for the phase shift of each RC
section is 60˚. Therefore at a specific frequency the total phase shift from base to
transistor’s around circuit and back to base is exactly 360˚ or 0˚. Thus the Barkhausen
criterion for oscillation is satisfied

initial output from the noise signals present in the circuit. After considerable time, it
gains strength and thereby producing sustained oscillations. Hartley Oscillator have two
major parts namely – amplifier part and feedback part. The amplifier part has a typically

(i) Inverter
CMOS is widely used in digital IC’s because of their high speed, low power
dissipation and it can be operated at high voltages resulting in improved noise immunity.
The inverter consists of two MOSFETs. The source of p-channel device is connected to
+VDD and that of n-channel device is connected to ground. The gates of two devices are
connected as common input.

(ii) NAND
It consists of two p-channel MOSFETs connected in parallel and two n-channel
MOSFETs connected in series. P-channel MOSFET is ON when gate is negative and N-
channel MOSFET is ON when gate is positive. Thus when both input is low and when
either of input is low, the output is high.

(iii) NOR

It consists of two p-channel MOSFETs connected in series and two n-channel

MOSFETs connected in parallel. P-channel MOSFET is ON when gate is negative and
N-channel MOSFET is ON when gate is positive. Thus when both inputs are high and
when either of input is high, the output is low. When both the inputs are low, the output
is high.

Theory:

Astable multivibrator is also known as free running multivibrator. It is

rectangular wave shaping circuit having non-stable states. This circuit does not need an
external trigger to change state. It consists of two similar NPN transistors. They are
capacitor coupled. It has 2 quasi-stable states. It switches between the two states without
any applications of input trigger pulses. Thus it produces a square wave output without
any input trigger. The time period of the output square wave is given by, T = 1.38RC.

Design Procedure:

VCC = 10V; IC = 2mA; VCE (sat) = 0.2V; f = 1KHz; hfe =

VCC - VCE (sat) 12 – 0.2

RC = = = 5.9KΩ
IC 0.002

R ≤ hfe RC = 315 * 5.9 * 103 = 1.85MΩ

R = 1.5MΩ

T = 1.38RC

C = T / (1.38R) = (1 * 10-3) / (1.38 * 1.5 * 106)= 0.48nF

Procedure:

1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.

2. Switch on the power supply.
3. Note down the output TON, TOFF and output voltage from CRO.

 Monostable multivibrator has two states which are (i) quasi-stable state and (ii)
stable state. When a trigger input is given to the monostable multivibrator, it switches
between two states. It has resistor coupling with one transistor. The other transistor has
capacitive coupling. The capacitor is used to increase the speed of switching. The
resistor R2 is used to provide negative voltage to the base so that Q1 is OFF and Q2 is
ON. Thus an output square wave is obtained from monostable multivibrator.

 The bistable multivibrator has two stable states. The multivibrator can exist
indefinitely in either of the twostable states. It requires an external trigger pulse to
change from one stable state to another. The circuit remains in one stable state until an
external trigger pulse is applied. The bistable multivibrator is used for the performance
of many digital operations such as counting and storing of binary information. The
multivibrator also finds an applications in generation and pulse type waveform.

analog signal that is proportional to the input. In this type of DAC, reference voltage is
applied to one switch and the other switches are grounded. It is easier to build and
