Scenario:

A task is given to construct and test two circuits for amplifier and buffer which are normally
used in the signal conditioning. Both circuits will be interfaced with LabVIEW to obtain
results at the computer screen via data acquisition systems. This is to cope with recent
modern technology where computer plays an important role and is widely used in every
aspect.

 4. Design a software graphical programming diagram and link the circuit in Figure 1 to

5. Measure and capture waveforms at input and output voltage.

The operational amplifier (op-amp) circuit termed a buffer amplifier, commonly recognized as a
voltage follower or unity-gain amplifier, is designed to have its output voltage (Voutput) aligned
with the input voltage (Vinput). This alignment is achieved through the utilization of negative
feedback, ensuring that voltage equality is maintained at both the inverting and non-inverting
terminals (V+ = V-). As a result, the input signal is precisely mirrored by the op-amp's output,
establishing a voltage gain of 1, commonly referred to as unity.

In essence, the input signal is not amplified by a voltage follower op-amp; instead, it functions
as a buffer. It possesses a voltage gain of 1, providing neither attenuation nor amplification.
Key characteristics of a buffer circuit encompass low output impedance and a high-input
impedance load, contributing to effective voltage transfer. This configuration enables signal
strengthening, rendering it suitable for driving a low-impedance load with a high-impedance
source.

To configure an op-amp as a voltage buffer or follower, the following steps are typically
undertaken, as depicted in Figure 1:

1. The non-inverting (+) input is connected to the input signal.

2. The output is directly linked back to the inverting input (-).

By connecting the output to its inverting input, the op-amp is compelled to adjust its output
voltage (Voutput) to match the input voltage (Vinput), causing the output voltage to
effectively "follow" the input voltage.

In the inverting amplifier circuit employing an operational amplifier (op-amp), a waveform with
a phase opposite to that of the input is produced, and the input signal undergoes magnitude
amplification by the voltage gain factor (Av).

To configure an op-amp in the inverting amplifier circuit, the following sequential steps are
commonly implemented, as depicted in Figure 2:
1. The inverting (-) input is connected to the input signal through the input resistor (Rin).
2. The non-inverting (+) input is directly connected to the ground.
3. The input voltage (Vinput) is applied to the input resistor (Rin), leading to the flow of current
towards the inverting (-) input terminal.
4. The inverting (-) input terminal, being inaccessible for current entry, causes the current to
circulate around the op-amp and proceed to the output node through the feedback resistor (Rf).
5. The circuit is stabilized, and controlled output is achieved through the incorporation of the
feedback resistor (Rf). The inverting operational amplifier gain can be expressed using the
equation:
−Rf
Voltage Gain, Av =
Rin
The determination of the voltage gain in the inverting amplifier is contingent upon the ratio of
the feedback resistor to the input resistor (Rin), with the negative sign denoting the phase-
reversal characteristic.

In terms of waveform characteristics, an inverting amplifier yields an output waveform that is a

mirror image across the horizontal axis. This inversion is indicative of a 180° phase shift.
Consequently, the inverting amplifier generates an output that is out of phase with the input by
180°. This implies that a positive input signal results in a negative output signal, and vice versa.

The negative gain established by the inverting configuration enables a dual functionality of
signal amplification and polarity inversion, where the output signal changes from positive to
negative or vice versa. The magnitude of this gain is dictated by the ratio between the two
resistance values.
