1 INTRODUCTION
In the third lab session of MSc in Applied Electronics lab, focus on Experiment on operational amplifiers.
During this lab session constructed the inverting, non-inverting, summing amplifier, integrator and
differentiator and precision diode configurations.
Variable and non-variable resistors, capacitors, bread board, jumping wires and the TL084 op-amp were
used to implement op amp configurations. Used the FG 273 function generator to supply input signal to
constructed op amps during this experiment and used the DSO 1102B Oscilloscope for observe op amps
output signal during this experiment session.

3.1 Experiment 1 Voltage follower
100 non-variable resistor, bread board, jumping wires and the TL084 op-amp were used to implement
voltage follower circuit. Used the FG 273 function generator to supply input signal to constructed op amp

Voltage follower circuit shows in figure 3.1.1. This op-amp configuration has unit gain.
By connecting function generator and supplied the 1 kHz signal to this voltage follower circuit and using
oscilloscope observe the output and input voltages. Dividing output voltage by input voltage calculate the
voltage gain.
By inserting 100 non-variable resistor between output of function generator and voltage follower circuit
and measuring output voltage and use those with voltage divider rule to find the output impedance of
function generator.
By connecting 100 non-variable resistor between ground and output terminal of voltage follower and
measure the output voltage and use it with voltage divider rule to find out circuit output impedance.
By connecting 10 M non-variable resistor in series with input voltage of voltage follower to measure
input voltage of voltage follower and using voltage divider rule to calculate input impedance of voltage
follower circuit.

Measure the input and output voltage at 1 kHz and 10 kHz and calculate the actual gain by dividing output
voltage by input voltage.
By connecting 100 resistor between input terminal and supply voltage and connecting 1 M resistor
between output terminal and ground measure the voltages and use them to find input and output
impedance of circuit.
Then use the following non inverting circuit design shown in figure 3.2.2. And repeat the experiment again.
