1. Derive the Output voltage for the circuit in figure 1. Calculate the highest usable frequency,
fhigh (frequency that the OP amp can differentiate). Record these items in Table 1.
2. Assemble the circuit.
3. Measure the output wave for each input mentioned in table 2 and note the phase, amplitude
in table 2. Compare the phase and amplitude of each output waveform with respective input
voltage.
4. Apply a 1 Vpp sine wave one decade above (ten times) flow. Does the circuit appear to be
differentiating?
5. Apply a 1 Vpp triangle wave one decade above (ten times) flow. Does the circuit appear to
be differentiating?
