STUDENTS GUIDELINES

There are 3 hours allocated to a laboratory session in LIC lab. It is a necessary part of the course
at which attendance is compulsory. Here are some guidelines to help you perform the
experiments and to submit the reports:

1. Read all instructions carefully and carry them all out.
2. Ask a demonstrator if you are unsure of anything.
3. Record actual results (comment on them if they are unexpected!)
4. Write up full and suitable conclusions for each experiment.
5. If you have any doubt about the safety of any procedure, contact the demonstrator beforehand.
6. Think about what you are doing!

THE BREADBOARD

The breadboard consists of two terminal strips and two bus strips (often broken in the
centre). Each bus strip has two rows of contacts. Each of the two rows of contacts are a node.
That is, each contact along a row on a bus strip is connected together (inside the breadboard).
Bus strips are used primarily for power supply connections, but are also used for any node
requiring a large number of connections. Each terminal strip has 60 rows and 5 columns of
contacts on each side of the centre gap. Each row of 5 contacts is a node. You will build your
circuits on the terminal strips by inserting the leads of circuit components into the contact
receptacles and making connections with

Incorrect connection of power to the ICs could result in them exploding or becoming very
hot with the possible serious injury occurring to the people working on the experiment! Ensure
that the power supply polarity and all components and connections are correct before switching
on power .

BUILDING THE CIRCUIT

The steps for wiring a circuit should be completed in the order described below:

1. Turn the power (Trainer Kit) off before you build anything!
2. Make sure the power is off before you build anything!
3. Connect the supply and ground (GND) leads of the power supply to the power and ground bus
strips on your breadboard.
4. Plug the chips you will be using into the breadboard. Point all the chips in the same direction
with pin 1 at the upper-left corner. (Pin 1 is often identified by a dot or a notch next to it on the
chip package)
5. Connect supply and GND pins of each chip to the power and ground bus
strips on the breadboard.
6. Select a connection on your schematic and place a piece of hook-up wire between
corresponding pins of the chips on your breadboard. It is better to make the short connections
before the longer ones. Mark each connection on your schematic as you go, so as not to try to
make the same connection again at a later stage.
7. Get one of your group members to check the connections, before you turn the power on.
8. If an error is made and is not spotted before you turn the power on. Turn the power off
immediately before you begin to rewire the circuit.
9. At the end of the laboratory session, collect you hook-up wires, chips and all equipment and
return them to the demonstrator.
10. Tidy the area that you were working in and leave it in the same condition as it was before
you started.

Common Causes of Problems:
1. Not connecting the ground and/or power pins for all chips.
2. Not turning on the power supply before checking the operation of the circuit.
3. Leaving out wires.
4. Plugging wires into the wrong holes.
5. Driving a single gate input with the outputs of two or more gates
6. Modifying the circuit with the power on.

In all experiments, you will be expected to obtain all instruments, leads, components at
the start of the experiment and return them to their proper place after you have finished the
experiment. Please inform the demonstrator or technician if you locate faulty equipment. If you
damage a chip, inform a demonstrator, don't put it back in the box of chips for somebody else to
use.

IC 555:
Description:
The operation of SE/NE 555 timer directly depends on its internal function. The three
equal resistors R
1
, R
2
, R
3
serve as internal voltage divider for the source voltage. Thus one-third
of the source voltage V
CC
appears across each resistor.
Comparator is basically an Op amp which changes state when one of its inputs exceeds
the reference voltage. The reference voltage for the lower comparator is +1/3 V
CC
. If a trigger
pulse applied at the negative input of this comparator drops below +1/3 V
CC
, it causes a change
in state. The upper comparator is referenced at voltage +2/3 V
CC
. The output of each
comparator is fed to the input terminals of a flip flop.
The flip-flop used in the SE/NE 555 timer IC is a bistable multivibrator. This flip flop
changes states according to the voltage value of its input. Thus if the voltage at the threshold
terminal rises above +2/3 V
CC
, it causes upper comparator to cause flip-flop to change its states.
On the other hand, if the trigger voltage falls below +1/3 V
CC
, it causes lower comparator to
change its states. Thus the output of the flip flop is controlled by the voltages of the two
comparators. A change in state occurs when the threshold voltage rises above +2/3 V
CC
or when
the trigger voltage drops below +1/3 V
cc
.
The output of the flip-flop is used to drive the discharge transistor and the output stage.
A high or positive flip-flop output turns on both the discharge transistor and the output stage.
The discharge transistor becomes conductive and behaves as a low resistance short circuit to
II YEAR

12
ground. The output stage behaves similarly. When the flip-flop output assumes the low or zero
states reverse action takes place i.e., the discharge transistor behaves as an open circuit or
positive V
CC
state. Thus the operational state of the discharge transistor and the output stage
depends on the voltage applied to the threshold and the trigger input terminals.

Function of Various Pins of 555 IC:
Pin (1) of 555 is the ground terminal; all the voltages are measured with respect to this pin.
Pin (2) of 555 is the trigger terminal, If the voltage at this terminal is held greater than one-third
of V
CC
, the output remains low. A negative going pulse from V
cc
to less than V
ec
/3 triggers the
output to go High. The amplitude of the pulse should be able to make the comparator (inside the
IC) change its state. However the width of the negative going pulse must not be greater than the
width of the expected output pulse.
Pin (3) is the output terminal of IC 555. There are 2 possible output states. In the low output
state, the output resistance appearing at pin (3) is very low (approximately 10 ). As a result the
output current will goes to zero , if the load is connected from Pin (3) to ground , sink a current I

Sink
(depending upon load) if the load is connected from Pin (3) to ground, and sinks zero current
if the load is connected between +V
CC
and Pin (3).
Pin (4) is the Reset terminal. When unused it is connected to +V
cc
. Whenever the potential of
Pin (4) is drives below 0.4V, the output is immediately forced to low state. The reset terminal
enables the timer over-ride command signals at Pin (2) of the IC.
Pin (5) is the Control Voltage terminal.This can be used to alter the reference levels at which the
time comparators change state. A resistor connected from Pin (5) to ground can do the job.
Normally 0.01F capacitor is connected from Pin (5) to ground. This capacitor bypasses supply
noise and does not allow it affect the threshold voltages.
Pin (6) is the threshold terminal. In both astable as well as monostable modes, a capacitor is
connected from Pin (6) to ground. Pin (6) monitors the voltage across the capacitor when it
charges from the supply and forces the already high O/p to Low when the capacitor reaches +2/3
V
CC
.
II YEAR

14
Pin (7) is the discharge terminal. It presents an almost open circuit when the output is high and
allows the capacitor charge from the supply through an external resistor and presents an almost
short circuit when the output is low.
Pin (8) is the +V
cc
terminal. 555 can operate at any supply voltage from +3 to +18V.
Features of 555 IC
1. The load can be connected to o/p in two ways i.e. between pin 3 & ground 1 or
between pin 3 & V
CC
(supply)
2. 555 can be reset by applying negative pulse, otherwise reset can be connected to +V
cc
to
avoid false triggering.
3. An external voltage effects threshold and trigger voltages.
4. Timing from micro seconds through hours.
5. Monostable and bistable operation
6. Adjustable duty cycle
7. Output compatible with CMOS, DTL, TTL

IC 565:
Description:
The Signetics SE/NE 560 series is monolithic phase locked loops. The SE/NE 560, 561,
562, 564, 565, & 567 differ mainly in operating frequency range, power supply requirements and
frequency and bandwidth adjustment ranges. The device is available as 14 Pin DIP package and
as 10-pin metal can package. Phase comparator or phase detector compare the frequency of
input signal f
s
with frequency of VCO output f
o
and it generates a signal which is function of
difference between the phase of input signal and phase of feedback signal which is basically a
d.c voltage mixed with high frequency noise. LPF remove high frequency noise voltage. Output
is error voltage. If control voltage of VCO is 0, then frequency is center frequency (f
o
) and mode
is free running mode. Application of control voltage shifts the output frequency of VCO from f
o

to f. On application of error voltage, difference between f
s
& f tends to decrease and VCO is said
to be locked. While in locked condition, the PLL tracks the changes of frequency of input signal.

THEORY:
INVERTING AMPLIFIER:
This is the most widely used op-amp. Here, the output voltage Vo is feedback to the
inverting input terminal through the Rf R1 network. The negative sign in gain indicates the
phase shift of 180
.
NON - INVERTING AMPLIFIER:
If signal is applied to the non-inverting input terminal of op-amp without inverting the
input signal such a circuit is called non-inverting amplifier. Here the output is feedback to the
inverting input terminal. The phase shift of input signal does not occur in non-inverting terminal.
DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER
A circuit that amplifies that amplifies the difference between two input signals is called
as differential amplifier. It is useful in instrumentation amplifier. If the two input signals are the
same, the output should be zero.

, and after f
H
gain decreases at a constant rate with an increase in frequency. The gain
decreases 20dB each time the frequency is increased by 10. Hence the rate at which the gain
II YEAR

34
rolls off after f
H
is 20dB/decade or 6 dB/ octave, where octave signifies a two fold increase in
frequency. The frequency f=f
H
is called the cut off frequency because the gain of the filter at this
frequency is down by 3 dB from 0 Hz. Other equivalent terms for cut-off frequency are -3dB
frequency, break frequency, or corner frequency.
b) HPF:
The frequency at which the magnitude of the gain is 0.707 times the maximum value of
gain is called low cut off frequency. Obviously, all frequencies higher than f
L
are pass band
frequencies with the highest frequency determined by the closed loop band width all of the op-
amp.
c) BAND PASS FILTER:
A band pass filter has a pass band between two cutoff frequencies f
H
and f
L
such that f
H
>
f
L
. Any input frequency outside this pass band is attenuated. There are two types of band-pass
filters. Wide band pass and Narrow band pass filters. We can define a filter as wide band pass if
its quality factor Q <10. If Q>10, then we call the filter a narrow band pass filter. A wide band
pass filter can be formed by simply cascading high-pass and low-pass sections. The order of
band pass filter depends on the order of high pass and low pass sections.

THEORY
It is also known as one shot multivibrator. It generates a single pulse of specified duration
in response to each external trigger signal. A monostable multivibrator exits only one stable
state. Application of a trigger causes a change to the quasistable state. The circuit remains in a
quasistable state for a fixed interval of time and then reverts to its original stable state. An
internal trigger signal is generated which produces the transition to the stable state. Usually, the
charging and discharging of a capacitor provides this internal trigger signal.

THEORY:
A Monostable Multivibrator, often called a one-shot Multivibrator, is a pulse-generating
circuit in which the duration of the pulse is determined by the RC network connected externally
to the 555 timer. In a stable or stand by mode the output of the circuit is approximately Zero or
at logic-low level. When an external trigger pulse is obtained, the output is forced to go high ( ~
V
CC
). The time for which the output remains high is determined by the external RC network
connected to the timer. At the end of the timing interval, the output automatically reverts back to
its logic-low stable state. The output stays low until the trigger pulse is again applied. Then the
cycle repeats. The Monostable circuit has only one stable state (output low), hence the name
monostable. Normally the output of the Monostable Multivibrator is low.

When the power supply V

towards V
CC
with a time constant (R
A
+R
B
) C. During this time, pin 3 is high (V
CC
) as Reset
R=0, Set S=1 and this combination makes Q =0 which has unclamped the timing capacitor C.
When the capacitor voltage equals 2/3 V
CC
, the upper comparator triggers the control flip
flop on that Q =1. It makes Q1 ON and capacitor C starts discharging towards ground through
R
B
and transistor Q1 with a time constant R
B
C. Current also flows into Q1 through R
A
.

Resistors R
A
and R
B
must be large enough to limit this current and prevent damage to the
discharge transistor Q1. The minimum value of R
A
is approximately equal to V
CC
/0.2 where
0.2A is the maximum current through the ON transistor Q1.
During the discharge of the timing capacitor C, as it reaches V
CC
/3, the lower comparator
is triggered and at this stage S=1, R=0 which turns Q =0. Now Q =0 unclamps the external
timing capacitor C. The capacitor C is thus periodically charged and discharged between 2/3
V
CC
and 1/3 V
CC
respectively. The length of time that the output remains HIGH is the time for
the capacitor to charge from 1/3 V

In wein bridge oscillator, wein bridge circuit is connected between the amplifier input
terminals and output terminals. The bridge has a series rc network in one arm and parallel
network in the adjoining arm. In the remaining 2 arms of the bridge resistors R1and Rf are
connected. To maintain oscillations total phase shift around the circuit must be zero and loop
gain unity. First condition occurs only when the bridge is p balanced. Assuming that the resistors
and capacitors are equal in value, the resonant frequency of balanced bridge is given by

A voltage regulator is a circuit that supplies a constant voltage regardless of changes in
load current and input voltage variations. Using IC 723, we can design both low voltage and
high voltage regulators with adjustable voltages.
For a low voltage regulator, the output V
O
can be varied in the range of voltages V

V
ref
, where as for high voltage regulator, it is V
O
> V
ref
. The voltage V
ref
is generally about 7.5V.
Although voltage regulators can be designed using Op-amps, it is quicker and easier to use IC
voltage Regulators.
II YEAR

IC 723 is a general purpose regulator and is a 14-pin IC with internal short circuit current
limiting, thermal shutdown, current/voltage boosting etc. Furthermore it is an adjustable voltage
regulator which can be varied over both positive and negative voltage ranges. By simply varying
the connections made externally, we can operate the IC in the required mode of operation.
Typical performance parameters are line and load regulations which determine the precise
characteristics of a regulator. The pin configuration and specifications are described earlier
LM317 series is the most commonly used three terminal adjustable voltage regulators.
The power rating of such regulator by a factor of 10V more because of improved overload
protection greater load current can be drawn over the given operating temperature range.

SIMULATION USING ORCAD
EX. NO: 13
DATE
AIM:
To simulate the circuit and analyse its characteristics
APPARATUS REQUIRED:

1.Personal computer with windows os.
2.PCB layout software such as ORCAD.
THEORY:
General rules for designing PCBs:
The PCB designer follows few rules of thumb that can be used when laying out PCBs.
Here they are,
1.PLACING COMPONENTS:
Generally, it is best to place parts only on the topside of the board. Firstly place all the
components in specific locations. This includes connectors, switches, LED mounting holes, heat
sinks or any other item that mounts to an external location.
Give careful thought when placing components to minimize trace lengths. Doing a good
job here will make laying the traces much easier.
Arrange ICs in only one or two orientations (up and down or right and left). Align each
IC so that pin 1 is in the same place for each orientation, usually on the top or left sides. Position
polarized parts with the positive leads, all having the same orientation. Also use a square pad to
mark the positive leads of these components.
Frequently, the beginners run out of room when routing traces. Leave 0.35 to 0.5 between
ICs. For large ICs allow even more space.
Parts not found in the component library can be made by placing a series of individual
pads and then group them together. Place one pad for each lead of the component. It is very
important to measure the pin spacing and pin diameters as accurately as possible.
II YEAR

76
After placing all the components, print out a copy of the layout. Place each component on
the top of the layout. Check to insure that you have allowed enough space for every part to rest
without touching each other.
2. PLACING POWER AND GROUND TRACES:
After the components are placed, the next step is to lay the power and ground traces.A
power rail is run along the front edge of the board and a ground rail along the rear edge.From
these rails attach traces that run in between the ICs. The ground rail should be very wide, 0.100
and all the supply lines should be 0.50. When using this configuration the remaining of the
bottom layer is then reserved for the vertical signal traces.
3. PLACING SIGNAL TRACES:
When placing traces, it is always a good practice to make them as short and direct as
possible. Use vias to move signals from one layer to the other. A via is a pad-through hole.
Generally the best strategy is to lay out a board with vertical trace on one side and horizontal
traces on the opposite side. A good trace width for low current digital and analog signals is
0.010.
Traces that carry significant current should be wider than signal traces. The table below gives
rough guidelines of how wide should a trace be for a given amount of current.

When routing traces, it is best to have the snap to grid turned on. Setting the snap grid spacing to
0.050 works well. Changing to a value of 0.025 can be helpful when trying to work as densely
as possible. Turning off the snap feature may be necessary when connecting to parts that have
unusual pin spacing.
0.010 0.3 Amps
0.015 0.4 Amps
0.020 0.7 Amps
0.025 1 Amps
0.050 2 Amps
0.100 4 Amps
-0.150 6 Amps
II YEAR

77
It is a commo0n practice to restrict the direction that traces run to horizontal, vertical or
at 45 degrees angles.
When placing narrow traces, use 0.015 or less. Avoid sharp right angle turns. The
problem here is that , in the board manufacturing process the outside corner can be etched a little
more narrow. The solution is to use two 45-degree bends with a short leg in between.
It is a good idea to place text on the top layer of the board, such as the product or
company name.
4.CHECKING YOUR WORK:
After all the traces are placed, it is best to double-check the routing of every signal to
verify that nothing is missing or incorrectly wired. Do this by running through the schematic, one
wire at a time. Carefully follow the path of each trace. After each trace is confirmed, mark the
signal on the schematic with a yellow highlighter.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

Vin

Inspect the layout, both top and bottom to ensure that the gap between every item is 0.007 or
greater. Use the pad information tool to determine the diameters of pads that make up a
component.
II YEAR

78
Check for missing vias. The CAD software will automatically insert a via when changing
layers as a series of traces are placed. The user often forget that vias are not automatically
inserted otherwise. For example, when beginning a new trace, a via is to first print a top layer ,
then print the bottom. Visually inspect each side for traces that doesnt connect to anything.
When a missing via is found, insert one. Do this by clicking on the pad in the side tool bar from
the down list box and click on the layout.
Check for the traces that cross each other. Inspecting a printout of each layer easily does
this.
Metal components such as heat sinks, crystals, switches, batteries and connectors can
cause shorts, if they are placed over traces on the top layer. Inspect for these shorts by placing all
the metal components on a printout of the top layer. Then look for traces that run below the
metal components.
