Expt. 5: Study of Operational Amplifiers Pin-Diagram of IC-741
Breadboard:
The physical diagram of a typical breadboard is shown in Fig.2. This board can be divided
into 4 regions. The top and bottom regions marked by red and blue lines represent horizontal
short. In these regions, all the pins in a row are shorted internally. In regions 2 and 3 each
column is shorted internally. IC should be placed in between the regions 2 and 3. Fig. 3
clearly shows the vertically and horizontally shorted regions.
Design Procedure:
1. Select the desired gain of the amplifier.
2. The gain of inverting amplifier is given by
Vo R
AF = =− F
Vin R1
3. The gain for non-inverting amplifier is given by
Vo R
AF = =1+ F
Vin R1
4. For example, if AF = 2, Select R1= 5 kΩ, RF = 10 kΩ and RL = 10 kΩ.
Experimental Procedure:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in Fig.
2. Apply +12V to pin 7 and –12V to pin 4. Connect common terminal of power supply
to ground on the breadboard.
3. Apply a dc voltage of 0.1V to the pin-2 of IC. Measure output.
4. Increase voltage in steps of 0.1V upto 1.0V and measure output.
Design Procedure:
1. Select high cut-off frequency fH of the filter. Let f H = 700 Hz.
2. Select value of C less than 1 µF. (As the maximum value of ceramic capacitor
available is 1 µF). Let C = 0.01 µF.
3. Calculate R from Eq. (1).

2πRC
For fH = 700 Hz and C = 0.01 µF, from Eq. (1) R = 22.7 kΩ.
Select nearest value of standard resistance available R = 22 kΩ .
4. Select R1 and Rf such that required pass band gain is obtained.
Pass band gain = 1+(RF/R 1).
Let R1= RF = 10 kΩ for a pass band gain of 2.
5. Final values of components:
R1 = 10 kΩ, RF = 10 kΩ, R = 22 kΩ, C = 0.01 µF, fH=700 Hz.
Experimental Procedure:
1. Apply sinusoidal inputs with different frequencies as shown in table and check the
gain of the filter.
2. Fill in the table and see if the following observations can be made.
At f < fH

Also at f = 10 fH, the gain decreases by ten times to that at f = fH.
Design Procedure:
1. Select low cut-off frequency fL of the filter. Let fL = 800 Hz.
2. Select value of C less than 1 µF. (As the maximum value of ceramic capacitor
