1.0 Objective
• To understand the basics of integrated circuit (IC) operational amplifier 741.
• To illustrate typical applications of op-amp circuits.
2.0 Apparatus
Equipments required:
a) Oscilloscope.
b) Regulated Power Supply – Two single-output power supplies or a dual-output power
supply that could produce positive and negative voltages.
c) Function generator.
d) Digital multimeter.
e) Breadboard, and some single core wires.
3.0 Introduction
1. High input impedance: results in minimal loading and therefore negligible currents
produced at the inputs.
2. High open loop gain: provides a wide range of closed loop applications.
3. Low output impedance: gives the ability to drive a wide variety of loads with little
effect on the output voltage.
A general purpose IC Op-amp has two input terminals (the inverting or negative input and the
non-inverting or positive input), an output terminal, two voltage supply terminals (positive
and negative) and terminals for offset adjustments. The 741 is a general purpose integrated
circuit (IC) operational amplifier. It is typically housed in an eight-pin plastic package
known as plastic dual-in-line (plastic DIP). The assignment of pin functions for 741 is shown
in Figure 1.

4.0 Experiments
Circuit construction:
Construct the following circuits using operational amplifier 741 and other circuit elements as
shown in the diagrams and follow the procedures outlined for each.
Oscilloscope setups:
1. Check that all the 3 variable (VAR) knobs are at their calibrated (CAL’D) positions.
2. Set DC input coupling for both channels for all the experiments.
3. Position the channel ground levels as indicated in the lab report form.
4. Set time/div to display one to two cycles of waveforms.
5. Set volts/div for most accurate measurement (at least covering 3.2 vertical divisions).
6.Other settings – as that you have learned in your past experiments in the previous

Smoothing capacitors:
These capacitors provide low inductance current paths for high frequency (in MHz) or
transient (rising and falling of square waves) signals. They stabilize the voltage at the DC
supply voltage lines, and reduce the inductive effect on output waveform distortion. Connect
two smoothing capacitors on the breadboard as indicated in Figure 2b and Appendix B. Note
that the capacitors are polar type whereby the negative terminal (as indicated on the capacitor
casing) must be connected to the lower potential end (otherwise, an explosion may occur).

(Refer to Appendix A for potentiometer (pot) connections.)
Procedures
(a) Solve Vin = Vref to determine the width tw1 and then tw. You are told that: Vin = 0.5sinω t,
where ω = 2π f and f = 1kHz, and Vref = 0.3V. (Note: π radians = 180o). Calculate tw/T,
where T is the time period.
(b) Construct the circuit as shown in Figure 6a. Use multimeter to check the supply voltages
are +10V and -10V. Adjust the potentiometer to get Vref = 0.3V (measured by a
multimeter at pin 2).
(c) Apply a 1.0V peak-to-peak sine wave of 1 kHz to the input V in. CH1 and CH2 must use
DC input coupling. Set CH2 volts/div to display the whole waveform.
Notes: Function Generator output offset voltage (if any)
Check the function generator output offset voltage (the average voltage) is zero (0V).
If not, manually adjust it to zero before measurements.
(d) Measure Vout(+sat), Vout(-sat), T and tW. [Vout(+sat) is the Vout positive saturation voltage. Let tW is
the width when Vout = Vout(+sat)].
(e) Calculate tW/T based on the output obtained. Sketch the waveforms of Vin and Vout.
(f) Observe the Vout changes by varying Vref between 0V (at the Y side) and 0.5V (no data
recording is required for this observation). Interpret the observation of the displayed
waveform to the instructor.

Procedures
(a) With Vin2 = 2V, calculate Vout when Vin1 = -0.5V, 0V and +0.5V
[corresponding to Vout(Vin1 = -0.5V), Vout(Vin1 = 0V) and Vout(Vin1 = +0.5V)] using equation:
Rf
Vout = (Vin 2 − Vin1 ) , where R3 = R1 and R4 = Rf
R1
(b) Construct the circuit as shown in Figure 8. Apply a 1.0V peak-to-peak sine wave of 1 kHz
to the input Vin1. Adjust the potentiometer to get Vin2 = 2.0V (measured by the use of a
multimeter). CH1 and CH2 must use DC input coupling. Adjust CH2 ground position and
set CH2 volts/div to display the whole waveform. Manually adjust the function generator
output offset voltage to zero if any. Outline the important of zeroing the output offset
voltage of the function generator.
(c) Measure Vout(Vin1 = -0.5V), Vout(Vin1 = 0V) and Vout(Vin1 = +0.5V). [Vout(Vin1 = -0.5V) means Vout when Vin1 =
-0.5V]. Sketch the waveforms of Vin1 and Vout.
(d) Observe the Vout changes by varying Vin2 between 0V and 10V (no data recording is
required for this observation). Interpret the observation of the displayed waveform to the
instructor.
(e) Ask the instructor to check all of your results. Show your last oscilloscope-displayed
waveforms (for Vin2 = 2.0V) to the instructor.
