THEORY:
If the time constant of the circuit is very large in comparison with the time period of the
input signal, the circuit is called an integrator. Under this condition the voltage drop
across C will be very small in comparison to the drop across R.
The current is Vin/R since almost all Vin is appearing across R. Output voltage across C is
Vo = (1/C) i.dt = 1/RC Vin dt.
The output is proportional to the integral of the input. Voltage drop across C increases as
time passes. For satisfactory integration ,it is necessary that RC 15T,where T is the
period of the input waveform.
When a pulse waveform is given at the input ,capacitor charges through R and output
voltage builds up. Capacitor continues to charge as long as input voltage is present. When
input is terminated , capacitor discharges and output falls to zero. As the value of RC
increases the amplitude of the output decreases and the output waveform becomes linear.
This happens because the charging current does not vary much through a high value
resistor. Constant current through a capacitor gives a linear output.
If the input is a square wave, capacitor charges and discharges from the negative voltage
to the positive voltage input.
PROCEDURE:
1. Set up the circuit after testing the components.
2. Switch ON the function generator and set the input.
3. Observe the input and output waveforms on CRO.

THEORY:
A circuit is called a differentiator if its time constant is very small when compared with
the time period of the input signal. The voltage drop across R will be very small
compared to the drop across C.
The current through the capacitor is C dV/dt. Hence the output is proportional to the
derivative of the input.
Vo = RC dV/dt.
Consider a sinusoidal signal V sin t is fed to the input of the differentiator. Its output
will be VRC cos t.
For perfect differentiation, it should satisfy the criterion RC < 0.0016 T where T is 1/f .

THEORY:
Clipping circuits are linear wave shaping circuits. They are useful to clip off the positive
or negative portions of an input waveform. It can also be used to slice off an input
waveform between two voltage levels.
A resistance is used to limit the current throught he diode. The value of the series
resistance used in the clipping circuits is given by the expression R = Rf x Rr
where Rf = forward resistance of the diode and Rr = reverse resistance of the diode.
Positive clipper with clipping level at 0 V: This circuit passes only negative going half
cycle of the input to the output.The positive half cycles are bypassed through the diode
since the diode gets forward biased when the input voltage becomes positive.
Negative clipper with clipping level at 0 V: This circuit passes only positive going half
cycle of the input to the output. The negative half cycles are bypassed through the diode
since the diode gets forward biased when the input voltage becomes negative.
Positive clipper with clipping level at +3 V: Till the input becomes greater than +3 V
diode is reverse biased and the input will appear at the output. When the input exceeds
+3V diode becomes forward biased and the cell voltage appears at the output. Since the
diode is in series with the cell actual clipping level is at +3.6 V.

Negative clipper with clipping level at -3 V: Till the input becomes less than -3 V
diode is reverse biased and the input will appear at the output. When the input is less than
-3V diode becomes forward biased and the cell voltage appears at the output. Since the
diode is in series with the cell actual clipping level is at -3.6 V.
Double clipper with clipping levels at +3 V and -3 V: This circuit is the merging of
positive and negative clippers.

THEORY:
Clampers are circuits used to add or subtract a dc voltage to a given waveform without
changing the shape of the waveform. Clamping level can be made at any voltage level by
biasing the diode.
Clamping positively at 0 V: During the negative half cycle of the input,the diode
conducts and the capacitor charges to Vm with positive polarity at right side of the
capacitor. During the positive half cycle of the input the capacitor cannot discharge since
the diode does not conduct. Thus capacitor acts as a dc source of Vm volt connected in
series with the input signal source.
Clamping negatively at 0 V: During the positive half cycle of the input, the diode
conducts and the capacitor charges to Vm with negative polarity at right side of the
capacitor. During the negative half cycle of the input the capacitor cannot discharge since
the diode does not conduct. Thus capacitor acts as a dc source of Vm volt connected in
series with the input signal source.

Clamping positively at -3 V: During negative half cycle of the input, the capacitor
charges through the dc source and the diode till (Vm- 3)V at positive polarity of the
capacitor at its right side. The charging of the capacitor is limited to (Vm- 3)V due to the
presence of the dc source.
Clamping negatively at +3 V: During positive half cycle of the input, the capacitor
charges through the dc source and the diode till (Vm- 3)V at negative polarity of the
capacitor at its right side. The charging of the capacitor is limited to (Vm- 3)V due to the
presence of the dc source.
PROCEDURE:
1. Set up the circuit after testing the diode.

THEORY:
An oscillator is an electronic circuit for generating an ac signal voltage with a dc supply
as the only input requirement. The frequency of the generated signal is decided by the
circuit constants. An oscillator requires an amplifier , a frequency selective network and a
positive feedback from the output to the input. The Barkhausen criterion for sustained
oscillation is A = 1 where A is the gain of the amplifier and is the feedback factor. The
unity gain means signal is in phase.
If a CE amplifier is used with a resistive collector load, there is a 180o phase shift
between the voltages at the base and the collector. Three sections of phase shift networks
(RC) are used so that each section introduces approximately 60o phase shift at resonant
frequency.The frequency of oscillation is given by the equation,
f= 1/2RC6

PROCEDURE:
1.
Set up the amplifier part of the oscillator and ensure that the transistor is operating
as an amplifier.
2. Connect the feedback network and observe the sine wave on CRO and measure its
amplitude and frequency.

THEORY:
The Wien bridge oscillator employs a balanced wien bridge as the feedback network.
Two stage CE amplifier provides 360o phase shift to the signal. So the wien bridge need
not introduce any phase shift to satisfy Barkausen criterion.
The attenuation of the bridges calculated to be 1/3 at resonant frequency. So the amplifier
stage should provide a gain of exactly 3 to make loop gain unity. Since the gain of two
stage amplifier is the product of individual stages , overall gain becomes very high. But
the gain will be trimmed down to 3 by negative feedback network.
The emitter resistors of both stages are kept unbypassed . This provides a current series
feedback which ensures the stability of operating point and reduction of gain. Frequency
of oscillation is given by
f = 1/2RC

power than that of class a and class B amplifier, to amplify a sinusoidal frequency. So the
class C amplifier is called a tuned amplifier .Tuned amplifiers amplify the signals of
desired frequency only. The frequency of amplification is determined by a frequency
selective network. These circuits are widely used in the IF and RF stages of television

THEORY:
Astable multivibrator is also called free running oscillator. It does not have a stable state.
This circuit transits from one quasi-stable state to the other and back
automatically,depending upon the charging and discharging periods of two timing
capacitors. When one transistor is in ON state, other remains in OFF state. Both will not
be in the same state at the same time. The collector voltage of ON transistor ia
approximately 0.3 V and that of OFF transistor is the Vcc supply.
Time duration in which Q1 remains ON is given by T1 = 0.693 R1C1
If R1= R2 = R and C1= C2= C , T1= T2= 0.693 RC
The time period of the output signal is T = T1+ T2 = 1.386 RC

Give the connections as per the circuit diagram.


Set the supply voltage.
Observe the output waveforms at collector and base of both the transistors.
Plot the graph.

DESIGN :
Let frequency f= 1 kHz and Duty Cycle = 1/3
Choose transistor BC 107.
Let Vcc = 9 V
T = T1 + T2 = 1 ms
Since duty cycle = T1 / (T1 + T2) = 1/3, we get T1 = 0.33 ms and T2 = 0.66 ms
Design of Rc1 and Rc2 :
Rc1 = (Vcc Vce1sat) / Ic1sat = 4.35 k
Use 4.7 k.
Take Rc1 = Rc2 = 4.7 k
Design of R1 and R2 :
The resistors R1 and R2 must be able to provide base current enough to keep the
transistors in saturation.
IBmin = IC/ hfe = 2 mA / hfe = 20 A
Consider an overdriving factor of 5,so that transistor will be indeed in saturation.Then
actual base current IB = 5 IBmin = 0.1 mA
R1 = (Vcc VBEsat) / 0.1 mA = 83 k.
Take R1 = R2
Design of C1 and C2 :
T1 = 0.33 ms = 0.69 R1C1 . Then C1 = 0.006 F
Use 0.01 F
T2 = 0.66 ms = 0.69 R2C2 . Then C2 = 0.02 F
Use 0.02 F

THEORY:
The monostable multivibrators has only one stable state. The other state is unstable
referred as quasi stable state.When an external trigger pulse is applied to the circuit,
it changes from the stable state to the quasi stable state and remains in that state for an
amount of time determined by the discharging time of the capacitor. R and C are timing
elements and C1 is the speed up capacitor.
Monostable multivibrator is also called as one shot or single shot multivibrator.

PROCEDURE:
1. Give the connections as per the circuit diagram.
2. Set the supply voltage and apply the trigger pulse to the base of any one of the
transistor.
3. Observe the output waveforms at collector of both the transistors.
4. Plot the graph.

THEORY:
Bistable multivibrator circuit has two stable states. An external trigger switches this
circuit from one stable state to the other. Another trigger is needed to switch the circuit
back to the old stable state. It is also called as flip flop or binary circuit. It is nothing but
two inverters connected back to back.
Suppose transistor Q1 is turned ON and transistor Q2 is turned OFF as soon as the Vcc is
switched ON. When the negative going trigger appears at the base of Q1 , it switches to
OFF state. Due to the regenerative action, Q2 goes to ON state. The bistable multivibrator
will continue to remain in this state till next negative going trigger appears at the base of
Q2.

THEORY:
An open loop amplifier suffers from many limitations such as frequency and phase
distortions, non linear distortions and noise. These limitations can be considerably
rectified in feedback amplifiers.
The output voltage or current is sampled and feedback to the input of the amplifier in
series or in shunt to the input signal source. There are four important topologies of
negative feedback namely voltage series, voltage shunt, current series and current shunt.
Current Series Feedback Amplifier: A CE RC coupled amplifier without emitter
bypass capacitor CE is an example of current series amplifier.
Voltage Shunt Feedback Amplifier: Here output voltage is sampled and fed in the
form of current to the input.
