- Design simple inverting and non-inverting amplifier circuits with feedback.

Theoretical Background:
The operational amplifier is a physically small low cost device that simplifies the design of
amplifier circuits useful for audio amplification, and control applications.

The term “operational” came from the fact that the operational amplifier, when equipped
with the suitable feedback, can perform mathematical operations on the input signal.

Non-inverting amplifier:

The following circuit performs the simple multiplication by a positive number:

Amplification = V0/Vi = (R1+ R2)/R1

Inverting amplifier:

The following circuit performs simple multiplication by a negative number:

Amplification = V0/Vi = -R2/R1

Adder amplifier:
V0 = -(Rf/R1*V1+Rf/R2*V2+Rf/R3*V3)

The following circuit performs addition of a number of inputs to yield an output. Note that
the output is the negative of the sum of the inputs:

Difference amplifier circuit:

The following circuit yields an output proportional to the difference between two inputs:

V0 = (Rf/Ri)*(V1-V2)

Integrator circuit:

The following figure shows an integrator circuit. The output voltage is proportional to the
integral of the input voltage. The constant of proportionality is adjusted by choosing the
values of R and C:

Rleak is a resistor used in the practical circuit to cancel initial charge on the capacitor and to
prevent the output from saturating under the effect of charge accumulation on the capacitor.
In some practical circuits, it is not used. Rleak should have a large value, ranging from 1 MΩ to
10 MΩ .

When not using Rleak, the voltage Vout is given by:

Vout = Vcto – 1/(RC)* t0 ∫tVin(t)dt

Vcto is the initial voltage that appears at t0 across the capacitor at t = t0.

Vin(t) is the time varying input voltage to the circuit.

Differentiator circuit:

This circuit extracts the derivative of the input signal:

The output voltage is proportional to the derivative of the input signal. The constant of
proportionality is controlled by selecting the values of R and C:

Vout = -RC*dVin/dt

In this experiment we will focus on the non-inverting amplifier and the inventing amplifier
circuits.

Experimental procedure:

The 741 operational amplifier embedded in a DIP (Dual In-line Package) has the following
regular pin assignment:

Note that the pins of a DIP are numbered in the counter clock-wise order starting from the
upper left corner of the integrated circuit package as seen from the top (from the side on
which the IC’s code is printed), at the left of the usually available marking notch. (as seen in
the figure above)

The offset adjustment pins are not used in most cases, unless the amplifier with feedback has
a high gain (higher than about 1000)
