6. Connecting wires - Req.

b) DESIGN PROCEDURE:

c) THEORY: The amplifier stage is self biased with a capacitor by passed source resistor (Rs) and

drain bias resistor (Rd). the expression for voltage gain of the amplifier is given by Av =gm. rl.

The feedback network consists of three identical RC sections. Each section produces a phase

shift of 60. Therefore the net phase shift of the feedback network is 180 degree. Since the amplifier stage also introduces a phase shift of 180, therefore total phase shift is 360 or 0.

For the variable frequency oscillators, the three capacitors are ganged and varied

simultaneously. When the circuit is energized by switching on the supply, the circuit starts

oscillating. The oscillations may start due to the minor variation in dc supply or inherent

noise.

3 Capacitors 0.01F 2

4 Transistor BC107 1

5 CRO 0-30MHz 1

6 RPS 0-30V 1

b) THEORY: Astable multivibrator consists of two common emitter amplifying stages.When the d.

c. power supply is switched ON (t=0) one of the transistor will start conducting more than the

other due to some imbalance in circuit. Then because of the other due to some positive

feedback, the transistor Q1 will be driven into saturation and Q2 to cut off. Thus at t>0 Q1 is

ON and Q2 is OFF. During t>0, capacitor C1 is charging and VB2 increases. As it increases

above cut-in-voltage, Q2 starts conducting at t>t1. As the transistor Q2 goes into saturation,

VC falls to VCE(sat). Thus at t>t1, Q1 is OFF and Q2 is ON. During t>t1, VB1 rises

exponentially with time constant. At T=t2, VB1 reaches cutin level and a reverse transition

take place. It is used to generate square waveform.

c) PROCEDURE: 1. The components are connected as per the circuit diagram. 2. The DC supply is switched ON. 3. The output voltage and the time period is measured across transistors T1 and T2 at both the base and the collector.

signal through the network consisting of linear elements is called Linear Wave Shaping.

2. What is meant by multivibrator? Multivibrators are two stage switching circuits in which the output of the first stage is

fed to the input of the second state and vice-versa. The outputs of two stages are

complementary.

3. Define Astable multivibrator. Astable multivibrator is a multivibrator in which neither state is stable. There are two

temporary states. The circuit changes state continuously from one quasi stables state to

another at regular intervals without any triggering. This generates continuous square

b) THEORY: Monostble multivibrator is also called as one shot or univibrator and can be used to

generate a gating pulse, whose width can be controlled. The monostable multivibrator

provides a single pulse of desired duration in response to an external trigger. The external

trigger causes the circuit to go to the quasi stable state. After a certain interval of time, the

circuit returns to its original state. It consists of two NPN transistors. In this case, when a

pulse is applied to the input circuit, the circuit state is changed abruptly to unstable state for a

determined time after which the circuit returned to its original state automatically. The two

outputs are the complement of each other i.e when one of the output is at VCC level, the

other is at VCE(sat) level. The monostable multivibrators are used for the generation of well

defined pulses, the logic design of pulse delay, variable pulse width, etc. The width or

duration of the pulse obtained at the collector or output of either transistor of the monostable

multivibrator is given by the expression t=0.69 RC.

generate a gating pulse, whose width can be controlled. The bistable multivibrator provides a

single pulse of desired duration in response to an external trigger. The external trigger causes

the circuit to go to the quasi stable state. After a certain interval of time, the circuit returns to

its original state. It consists of two NPN transistors. In this case, when a pulse is applied to

the input circuit, the circuit state is changed abruptly to unstable state for a determined time

after which the circuit returned to its original state automatically. The two outputs are the

complement of each other i.e when one of the output is at VCC level, the other is at VCE(sat)

b) THEORY: In class C amplifier, the output current flows only for one half of the cycle of the input signal. The transistor dissipates no power with zero input signal. The average current

drawn by the circuit in class C is smaller than that in class A. Complementary symmetry

amplifier requireds neither an input nor an output transformer. This arrangement uses

transistors having complementary symmetry in the emitter follower configuration. The term

complementary means that it uses two identical transistors one NPN and the other PNP. The term symmetry means that biasing resistors are equal. This amplifier circuit has a unity gain because of the emitter follower configuration. Moreover there is no phase inversion of the

output signal. The split supply used in the circuit gives us an advantage that the dc

component of the output voltage can be made zero. Thus the only ac component of the power

2. What is ripple factor()? Ripple factor () may be defined as the ratio of the root mean square (rms) value of the ripple voltage to the absolute value of the dc component of the output voltage, usually expressed as

a percentage. However, ripple voltage is also commonly expressed as the peak-to-peak value.

THEORY:


The fundamental component of any analog computer is the

operational amplifier or op-amp and the frequency configuration in which it is used as an

inverting amplifier. An input voltage Vin is applied to the input voltage. It receives and

inverts its polarity producing an output voltage. this same output voltage is also applied to a

feedback resistor Rf, which is connected to the amplifier input analog with R1. The amplifier

itself has a very high voltage gain.

If Rf = R1 then Vo=Vi

NON- INVERTING AMPLIFIER:

Although the standard op-amp configuration is as an inverting

amplifier, there are some applications where such inversion is not wanted. However, we

cannot just switch the inverting and non inverting inputs to the amplifier itself. We will still

need negative feedback to control the working gain of the circuit .Therefore, we will need to

leave the resistor structure around the op-amp intact and swap the input and ground

connections to the overall circuit.

VO/VI = (Rf / Ri) +1

From the calculations, we can see that the effective voltage

gain of the non-inverting amplifier is set by the resistance ratio. Thus, if the two resistors are

equal value, then the gain will be 2 rather than 1.


A circuit that amplifies the difference between two signals is

called as a differential amplifier. This type of amplifiers is very useful in instrumentation

circuits. From the experimental setup of a differential amplifier, the voltage at the output of

the operational amplifier is zero. The inverting and non-inverting terminals are at the same

potential. Such a circuit is very useful in detecting very small differences in signals. Since the

gain can be chosen to be very large. For example, if R2=100R1, then a small difference V1-

V2 is amplified 100 times.

amplifier, while the circuit of Q2 functions as a common base output stage. The cascade

amplifier gives the high input impedance of a common emitter amplifier, as well as the good

voltage gain and frequency performance of a common base circuit.

PROCEDURE:

1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.

2. The waveforms at the input and output are observed for cascade operations varying the

input frequency.

3. The biasing resistances needed to locate the Q-point are determined.

4. Set the input voltage as 1V and by varying the frequency, note the output voltage.

5. Calculate gain=20 log (Vo / Vin.)

6. A graph is plotted between frequency and gain.

TABULATION:

Keep the input voltage constant, Vin =

Frequency (in Hz) Output Voltage (in volts) Gain= 20 log(Vo/Vin) (in dB)

RESULT:

Thus, the Cascade amplifier was constructed and the gain was determined.

VIVA QUESTIONS:

1.What is biasing?

To use the transistor in any application it is necessary to provide sufficient voltage

and current to operate the transistor. This is called biasing. 2. What is the necessary of the coupling capacitor?

It is used to block the c signal to the transistor amplifier. It allows a c &blocks the d c.

3. What is reverse saturation current?

The current due to the minority carriers is called the reverse saturation current.
