ECEN 325- Section 512 Lab 3 - Operational Amplifiers - Part 1 Lab Members: Tushar Oomman (531004033), Parth Grover (631003546) TA: Sravanthi Ratna Jyothi Bysani Date Lab Performed: 09/20/2023 Due Date: 09/26/2023
Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to study the properties of the operational amplifiers with inverting and non-inverting amplifier circuits. Introduction: In this lab we completed a prelab and simulated an inverting amplifier circuit, a non-inverting amplifier and a voltage follower and recorded the magnitude and phase of the bode plots, the time-domain waveforms, and calculated the input voltage in which clipping occurs. and the total harmonic distortion. We then circuited an op-amp in an offset current measurement configuration and calculated the DC input currents. We then circuited a DC offset voltage measurement configuration and calculated the input offset voltage and used a 100 kilo-ohm potentiometer to zero the output of the op-amp to compensate for the op-amps offset voltage. We finally circuited the inverting and non-inverting circuits and then took the same measurements we simulated in the prelab. Proof of Files: Measurements: 1. Op-Amp parameters a. V+ = -2.966 mV b. V- = -2.955 mV c. I+ = -2.966 /100 k-ohm = -2.966 *10^8 d. I- = -2.955 / 100 k-ohm = -2.955*10^8 e. Iof = |I+| + |I-| = 5.921 * 10^-8 = 59.21 nA 2. Input offset Voltage a. Vout = 1.45 mV b. G = -R4/R3 = -50/10 = -5 c. Vin = Vout/G = 1.327/-5 = -0.2654 mV Parameter Measured Manufacturers Input Offset Current 59.21 nA 20 - 200 nA Input offset Voltage -0.2654 mV 1-6 mV Gain -5 V/V == 13.979 dB Up to 106 dB 3.

Figure 13: Output voltage clipping for non-inverting amplifier
Figure 14: THD for the non-inverting amplifier Discussion: Most of our data taken during the lab and the one simulated are within a reasonable range of error. However, the biggest difference came in the THD measurements of the inverting and the non-inverting amplifier. The simulated values seem to be a lot higher than the ones calculated in the lab. Reason behind this miscalculation could most probably be due to human error. As this was our first time calculating THD, the team could have missed some important aspect used in calculating the THD. However, we were
able to capture the right values during the lab. Our lab TA checked off our work and were also told we did not have to get any values for the voltage follower circuit.
