PREFACE

The Basic Electronics Devices and Circuit Lab is one of the most important labs for electronics
engineering students. This is the first level laboratory in which students are introduced with
electronics for the first time and are trained with the preliminary of electronics. In this lab students
are given introduction and identification of different active and passive electronics
devices/components. They are familiarized with different signal sources and instruments used in
electronics engineering, students learn the usage/handling of different measuring instruments like
Digital mulitmeter, CRO, Function Generators, Regulated power supply etc. In this lab, students
become familiar with device characteristics and their applications. Students learn to work with
hand by making the circuit on bread board and analyzing it using laboratory instruments such as

Before starting the lab experiment you must go through the lab manual of that experiment. Get
your doubts clear and then start.

Be careful to keep watch bands, rings, necklaces and the other metallic object out of contact with
live parts when working around electrical apparatus.

If you are not sure how to operate a piece of equipment then read the manual or take help from lab
staff/ teacher.

No food, beverages, chewing tobacco and gums is allowed in the lab.

At the end of each lab period, return all the components and instruments that are issued to you or
your group.

THEORY:
The diode is a semiconductor device formed from a junction of n-type and p-type semiconductor
materials. The lead connected to p-type material is called as anode and the lead connected to ntype material is called cathode.

Figure 1: (a) Diode Symbol (b) Actual diode

When diode is in forward bias (higher potential is connected to the anode lead), current flows
through it. As the voltage across diode increases, current also increases. It is observed that the rate
of change in current increases with increase in the voltage across diode. After some potential drop
across the diode, the rate of change in current increases rapidly. The potential drop after which
current increases rapidly is called as Cut in Voltage. It is measured by drawing a tangent on the
slope of the V-I Characteristics from where current increases drastically. For Germanium diode is
it around 0.2-0.3V, while for Silicon diode it is 0.4-0.7V. When diode is in reverse bias (higher
potential is connected to the cathode lead), ideally no current flows through it, practically a very
small leakage current (in micro ampere) flows due to some impurity charge carriers. In the p-n
junction diode the value of reverse breakdown voltage is very high (-600V for 1N4001). If this
voltage is applied in the reverse bias, then very high value of current will flow and diode will get

damaged. The characteristic curve for an ideal diode and practical diode is shown in Fig 2.

Figure 2:
V-I characteristics of Ideal and Practical Diode
While analyzing circuits, the practical diode is usually replaced with a simpler model. In the
simplest form, the ideal diode is modeled by a switch as shown in Fig (3). The switch is closed
when the diode is forward biased and open when reverse biased. The real diode is modeled as
shown in Fig (4). Rf and Rr are the resistances offered by the diode in the forward bias and reverse
bias respectively. Vy is the cut-in voltage of the diode.

THEORY:
Half wave and full wave bridge rectifier:
In half wave rectification, single diode act as a half wave rectifier. The A.C. supply to be rectified
is applied in series with diode and load resistance RL. A.C. supply is given through a transformer.
During positive half cycles of input A.C. voltage, this make diode forward biased and hence it
conducts current. During negative half cycles, diode is reverse biased and it conducts no current.
Therefore, current flow through the diode during positive half cycles of A.C. input voltage only. it
is blocked during negative half cycles.
Full wave bridge rectifier, current flow through the load in the same direction for both half cycles
of input A.C. its contain four diode D1, D2, D3, D4 connected to form bridge. The A.C supply to
be rectified is applied to the diagonally opposite end of the bridge trough the transformer. Between
two other ends of the bridge, the load resistance RL is connected. During the positive half cycle of
A.C. input voltage D1 & D3 forward biased while diode D2 &D4 are reversed biased. Therefore
only diode D1& D3 conduct. These two diode will be in series through the load. Current flow
through load. During negative half cycles diodes D2&D4 becomes forward biased whereas D1
and D3 become reverse biased. Therefore only D2&D3 conduct .these diodes will be in series

THEORY:
The circuit with which the waveform is shaped by removing (or clipping) a portion of the input
signal without distorting the remaining part of the alternating waveform is called a clipper.
Clipping circuits are also referred to as voltage (or current) limiters, amplitude selectors, or slicers.
These circuits find extensive use in radars, digital computers, radio and television receivers etc.
In a clipping circuit, the output voltage will be proportional to the input voltage as long as the
input lies between the specified reference levels. Outside this range, the output is clipped it
remains essentially constant, no longer dependent on the input. Clipping circuits find important
uses in wave shaping and signal processing applications.
Often in the development of electronic circuits it is required that voltages be limited in some
manner to avoid circuit damage. Furthermore, the limiting or clipping of voltages can be very

ECE JIIT NOIDA

ODD SEMESTER

useful in the development of wave-shaping circuits. A typical clipper circuit is shown in Figure 1.
In this circuit the output voltage can never be greater than 3 V. The ideal diode becomes forward
biased at Vo equal to 3 V and this ties the output directly to the 3 V supply. The waveform can be
clipped on the negative side by placing the series combination of a diode and power supply in
parallel with the diode and power supply already shown.

Figure 1: Diode clipping circuit showing input and output waveforms

While clipper circuits are concerned primarily with limiting or cutting off part of the waveform,
clampers are used primarily to shift the DC level. For example, if we have a clock signal that
swings between 0v and 5V but our application requires a clock signal from -5V to 0V, we can
provide the proper DC offset with a passive clamper circuit. A typical clamper circuit is shown in
Figure 2. For this circuit to work properly the pulse width needs to be much less than the RC time
constant of 10 ms. The input square wave with a frequency of 1 KHz and a pulse width of 0.5 ms
meets this requirement. The diode and power supply as shown will prevent the output voltage
from exceeding 3 V (i.e., all of the region above 3 V can be viewed as a forbidden region for
output voltage). Because of the time constant requirement the voltage across the capacitor cannot
change significantly during the pulse width, and after a short transient period the voltage across
the capacitor reached a steady state offset value. The output voltage is simply the input voltage
shifted by this steady state offset. Also, observe that the peak-to-peat output voltage is equal to the
peak-to-peak input voltage. This is true because the voltage across the capacitor cannot change
instantaneously and the full change of voltage on the input side of the capacitor will likewise be
seen on the output side of the capacitor.

THEORY:
The circuit diagram to plot the VI characteristics of a zener diode is shown. Zener diode is a
special diode with increased amounts of doping. This is to compensate for the damage that occurs
in the case of a pn junction diode when the reverse bias exceeds the breakdown voltage and
thereby current increases at a rapid rate.
Applying a positive potential to the anode and a negative potential to the cathode of the zener
diode establishes a forward bias condition. The forward characteristic of the zener diode is same
as that of a pn junction diode i.e. as the applied potential increases the current increases
exponentially. Applying a negative potential to the anode and positive potential to the cathode
reverse biases the zener diode.
As the reverse bias increases the current increases rapidly in a direction opposite to that of the
positive voltage region. Thus under reverse bias condition breakdown occurs. It occurs because
there is a strong electric filed in the region of the junction that can disrupt the bonding forces
within the atom and generate carriers. The breakdown voltage depends upon the amount of
doping. For a heavily doped diode depletion layer will be thin and breakdown occurs at low
reverse voltage and the breakdown voltage is sharp. Whereas a lightly doped diode has a higher
breakdown voltage. This explains the zener diode characteristics in the reverse bias region.
The maximum reverse bias potential that can be applied before entering the zener region is called
the Peak Inverse Voltage referred to as PIV rating or the Peak Reverse Voltage Rating (PRV
rating)

Voltage Regulator:
A voltage regulator circuit is required to maintain a constant dc Output voltage across the load
terminals in spite of the variation:

Variation in input mains voltage

Change in the load current

The voltage regulator circuit can be designed using zener diode. For that purpose, zener diode is
operated always in reverse biased condition. Here, zener is operated in breakdown region and is
used to regulate the voltage across a load when there are variations in the supply voltage or load
current.
The general circuit diagram for the zener voltage regulator is shown below.

ECE JIIT NOIDA

ODD SEMESTER

It consists of a current limiting resistor RS connected in series with the input voltage VAA and
zener diode is connected in parallel with the load RL in reverse biased condition. The output
voltage is always selected with a breakdown voltage Vz of the diode.
The input source current, IS = IZ + IL.. (1)
The drop across the series resistance, Rs = Vin Vz .. (2)
And current flowing through it, Is = (Vin VZ) / RS .. (3) From
equation (1) and (2), we get, (Vin - Vz )/Rs = Iz +IL (4)
Regulation with a varying input voltage (line regulation): It is defined as the change in regulated
voltage with respect to variation in line voltage. The minimum value of input after which
regulation will start is given by the following formula.
RL*Vin(Min)/(RL + Rs) > VZ.
Once the zener enter into breakdown, the output voltage will be maintained at VZ. Since loads
resistance is constant so, the load current remains constant and as the input voltage increases, form
equation (3) Is (current in series resistance) also varies accordingly. Therefore, zener current Iz
will increase. The extra voltage is dropped across the Rs. Since, increased Iz will still have a
constant Vz and Vz is equal to Vout. The output voltage will remain constant.
The maximum value of Vin is decide by the IZmax as as given below.
Vin(Max) Vz = RS(I L+IZmax)
IL = VZ/RL
Regulation with the varying load (load regulation): It is defined as change in load voltage with
respect to variations in load current. To calculate this regulation, input voltage is constant and
output voltage varies due to change in the load resistance value. The minimum value of load
resistance after which regulation will start is given by the following formula.
RLMIN*Vin/(RLMIN + Rs) > VZ.
The left side of the equation (4) is constant as input voltage Vin, IS and Rs is constant. As load
current changes due to change in the value of resistance RL, the zener current Iz will also change
but in opposite way such that the sum of Iz and IL will remain constant. When Load resistance is
more then the RLMIN, load current decreases since output voltage is Constant at VZ. Due to this
Zener current must increase in order to satisfy eq. 1. The maximum value of load resistance is
decided by the Maximum current capability of the zener i.e. IZMAX
Vin Vz = RS(ILMin+IZmax)
ILMIN = VZ / RLMAX

THEORY:
A transistor is a three terminal device. The terminals are emitter, base, collector. In common
emitter configuration, input voltage is applied between base and emitter terminals and output is
taken across the collector and emitter terminals. Therefore the emitter terminal is common to both
input and output
The input characteristic resembles that of a forward biased diode curve. This is expected since the
Base-Emitter junction of the transistor is forward biased. As compared to CB arrangement IB
increases less rapidly with VBE. Therefore input resistance of CE circuit is higher than that of CB
circuit.
The output characteristics are drawn between Ic and VCE at constant IB. the collector current Ic
varies with VCE upto few voltage only. After this the collector current becomes almost constant
and independent of VCE. The value of VCE upto which the collector current changes with VCE is
known as knee voltage. The transistor always operates in the region above knee voltage. Ic is
always constant and is approximately equal to IB.
The current amplification factor of CE configuration is given by

THEORY:
Figure shows a inverting amplifier. The o/p Voltage Vo is of the opposite polarity as the input
voltage Vin. The input signal is applied directly to the inverting (-ve) input terminal of the
amplifier and the feedback resistance is also connected between the output terminal, the ve input
terminal and ground.
The Gain of the Inverting Amplifier can be set below unity i.e. 1. Hence the inverting amplifier
configuration with feedbacks lends itself to a majority of applications as against those of the non
inverting amplifier.
Closed Loop Voltage Gain (AF):
The closed-loop voltage gain AF can be obtained by writing Kirchoffs Current equation at the
input node V2 as follows:
Iin = IF + IB .(1)
Since Ri is very large, the input bias current IB is negligibly small. For instance,
Ri = 2MW and IB = 0.5A for 741C. Therefore,

RESULT:
Voltage Gain of the Inverting amplifier depends only on the feedback components and is
independent of the internal gain A of the op-amp. The value of AF can be less than unity. The
Theoretical and Practical values of the Gain are nearly matching.

NON INVERTING AMPLIFIER

THEORY:
Figure shows a non-inverting amplifier. The o/p Voltage Vo is of the same polarity as the input
voltage Vin. The input resistance of the non-inverting amplifier is very large (100MW) in this
case. The input signal is applied directly to the non-inverting (+ve) input terminal of the amplifier
and the feedback resistance are connected between the output terminal, the ve input terminal and
ground.
The Minimum Gain of the Non-Inverting Amplifier is 1.

AF = Vo/Vin
However, Vo = A (V1 V2)

THEORY:
ADDER :
Op-amp can be used to design a circuit whose output is the sum of several input signals. Such a
circuit is called a summing amplifier or an adder. Summing amplifier can be classified as inverting
& non-inverting summer depending on the input applied to inverting & non-inverting terminals
respectively. Circuit Diagram shows a non-inverting adder with n inputs. Here the output will be
the linear summation of input voltages. The circuit can be used either as summing amplifier,
scaling amplifier, or as averaging amplifier.

This means that the output voltage is equal to the sum of all the input voltages.

SUBSTRACTOR
A subtractor is a circuit that gives the difference of the two inputs,
Vo =V2-V1, Where V1 and V2 are the inputs. By connecting one input voltage V1 to inverting
terminal and another input voltage V2 to the non inverting terminal, we get the resulting circuit
as the Subtractor. This is also called as differential or difference amplifier using op-amps.
Output of a differential amplifier (subtractor) is given as
Vo = (-Rf/R1) (V1-V2)
If all external resistors are equal in value, then the gain of the amplifier is equal to -1. The
output voltage of the differential amplifier with a gain of -1 is
Vo = (V2-V1)
Thus the output voltage Vo is equal to the voltage V2 applied to the non inverting
terminal minus the voltage V1 applied to the inverting terminal. Hence the circuit is called a
Subtractor.

THEORY:
Integrator:

A circuit in which the output voltage is the integration of the input voltage is called an
integrator.

In the practical integrator to reduce the error voltage at the output, a resistor R F is connected
across the feedback capacitor CF. Thus, RF limits the low-frequency gain and hence minimizes
the variations in the output voltage.

ECE JIIT NOIDA

ODD SEMESTER

The frequency response of the integrator is shown in the fig. 2.1. fb is the frequency at which the
gain is 0 dB and is given by
fb = 1/2 R1Cf.
In this fig. there is some relative operating frequency, and for frequencies from f to
fa the gain RF/R1 is constant. However, after fa the gain decreases at a rate of 20 dB/decade.
In other words, between fa and fb the circuit of fig. 2.1 acts as an integrator. The gainlimiting frequency fa is given by
fa = 1/2 RfCf.
Normally fa<fb. From the above equation, we can calculate Rf by assuming fa & Cf.
This is very important frequency. It tells us where the useful integration range starts.
If fin < fa

- circuit acts like a simple inverting amplifier and no integration results,

If fin = fa

- integration takes place with only 50% accuracy results,

If fin = 10fa

- integration takes place with 99% accuracy results.

In the circuit diagram of Integrator, the values are calculated by assuming fa as 50

Hz. Hence the input frequency is to be taken as 500Hz to get 99% accuracy results.

DIFFERENTIATOR:
As the name suggests, the circuit performs the mathematical operation of
differentiation, i.e. the output voltage is the derivative of the input voltage.

Both the stability and the high-frequency noise problems can be corrected by the
addition of two components: R1 and Cf, as shown in the circuit diagram. This circuit is a
practical differentiator.
The input signal will be differentiated properly if the time period T of the input
signal is larger than or equal to RfC1. That is, T>= RfC1
Differentiator can be designed by implementing the following steps.
1. Select fa equal to the highest frequency of the input signal to be differentiated.
2. Then, assuming a value of C1<1 F , calculate the value of Rf
3. Calculate the values of R1and Cf so that R1C1=RfCf.

DESCREPTION:Fig-1 or Fig-2 is the circuit of the Wien bridge oscillator ( as these two circuits are same). A
resistor R4 is connected to the inverting terminal (2) of the operational amplifier from the ground.
Similarly a parallel combination of a resistance R2 and a capacitor C2 is connected to the noninverting terminal (3) of the operational amplifier from the ground. The output terminal (6) of the
amplifier is fed back to inverting terminal (2) through a variable resistor R3. A series combination
of a resistance R1 and a capacitor C1 is connected between non-inverting terminal (3) and the
output of operational amplifier. To observe the out put wave form, the output terminal (6) is
connected to CRO Y- Plates phase terminal and the other terminal of CRO is grounded. The
terminals (7) and (4) of the op. amp. are connected to +12 V and -12 V of the D.C. power supplies
separately.

THEORY:A Wien bridge oscillator is a type of electronic oscillator that generates sine waves without having
any input source. It can output a large range of frequencies. The bridge comprises four resistors
and two capacitors.
An oscillator consists of an amplifier and a feedback network.
1. 'Active device' i.e. Op Amp is used as an amplifier.
2. Passive components such as R-C or L-C combinations are used as feedback net work.
To start the oscillation with the constant amplitude, positive feedback is not the only sufficient
condition. Oscillator circuit must satisfy the following two conditions known as Barkhausen
conditions:
i. The first condition is that the magnitude of the loop gain (A) =1 A
= Amplifier gain and = Feedback gain.
ii. The second condition is that the phase shift around the loop must be 360 or 0.

The feedback signal does not produce any phase shift. This is the basic principle of a Wien
bridge oscillator

LEAD LAG CIRCUIT:The given circuit shows the RC combination used in Wien bridge oscillator. This circuit is also
known as lead-lag circuit. Here, resistor R1 and capacitor C1 are connected in the series while
resistor R2and capacitor C2 is connected in parallel.
Working of lead lag circuit:- At higher frequencies the reactance of capacitor C1 and C2
approaches zero. These causes C1 and C2 appear shot. Here capacitor C2 shots the resistor R2.
Hence the output voltage Vo will be zero since output is taken across R2 and C2 combined so at
high frequencies, circuits acts as a lag circuit.
At low frequencies, both capacitors act as open because capacitor offers very high
reactance. Again output voltage will be zero because the input signal is dropped across the R1 and
C1combination. Here, the circuit acts like a 'lead circuit'.
But at one particular frequency between the two extremes, the output voltage reaches to the
maximum value. At this frequency only, resistance value becomes equal to capacitive reactance
and gives maximum output. Hence, this particular frequency is known as resonant frequency or
oscillating frequency.
The maximum output would be produced if R = Xc.

R = XC =

If R1=R2=R and C1=C2=C

Then the resonant frequency

f =

2RC

Due to limitations of the op-amp, frequencies above 1MHz are not achievable.
The basic version of Wien Bridge has four arms. The two arms are purely resistive and
other two arms are frequency sensitive arms. These two arms are nothing but the lead-lag circuit.
The series combination of R1 and C1 is connected between terminal a and d. The parallel
combination of R2 and C2 is connected between terminals D and C. So the two circuits (Fig.1 and
Fig.2) are same except in shape.

Here, bridge does not provide phase shift at oscillating frequency as one arm consists of lead
circuit and other arm consists of lag circuit. There is no need to introduce phase shift by the
operational amplifier. Therefore, non inverting amplifier is used.

PROCEDURE:Connect the circuit is as shown in the Fig-1. Keep the resistance and capacitor values R1 = R2 = R and
C1 = C2 = C and switch on the power. Adjust the voltage sensitivity band switch and time base band
switch such that at lea st two or more complete sine waves are observed on the screen of CRO. Also
adjust the resistance R3 value till the wave formed on the CRO screen is stationary. Note R and C
values in the table and measure the peak to peak horizontal length (l) of one sine wave. Multiply this
value with the corresponding time-base (t) value. This product ( l x t ) gives the time period (T) of the
generated sine wave. The reciprocal of time period gives the experimental frequency of the sine wave.
On substitution of Rand C values in the above equation, it gives theoretical frequency. The theoretical
and experimental frequencies are equal. The experiment is repeated by changing the value of R or C.
