EXPERIMENT 9

RC combination with Op amp


TASKS
Part-1
1. Study and analyze the circuit as shown in Fig-1. Use R1 = 1 kΩ, R2 = 5 kΩ and C = 100 nF.
𝑉
Calculate an expression the voltage gain 𝐴𝑣 = 𝑉 0 as a function of frequency f in Hz. Remember
𝑖𝑛
V0 and Vin are phasors or complex numbers. Find both magnitude and phase of the voltage gain.
|𝑉 |
Calculate the voltage gain magnitude in dB i.e. 20 log10 (|𝑉 𝑜 |). Calculate the Phase of the
𝑖𝑛
voltage gain 𝐴𝑣 in rad. Enter the theoretical values of voltage gain magnitude and phase in the
table below.

2. Create the circuit in LTSpice.

3. Set the input voltage to a sinusoid of zero offset, 100 mV peak-to-peak and 100 Hz frequency.
Measure magnitude and phase of output voltage Vo with respect to Vin. Calculate the voltage gain
|𝑉 |
magnitude in dB i.e. 20 log10 (|𝑉 𝑜 |). Phase of 𝐴𝑣 should be in rad. Enter in the table below:

4. Repeat the step 3 for 10 values of the frequency f in the 1-2-5 sequence (that is 100 Hz, 200
Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, …). Tabulate.

5. Plot the experimental values of the magnitude of the voltage gain in dB against frequency f
on a semi-log graph paper. (Watch the 4 min video in https://youtu.be/DyxbuHka5wA to
get an idea on drawing a frequency response plot.) Remember to plot the frequency in the log
scale of the semi-log paper as shown in the sample graph in Fig. 2. Find the Cutoff frequency
fc from graph and compare it with the theoretical value of fc.

6. Draw the experimentally obtained phase of 𝑉 𝑜 against f on a semi-log graph paper.

7. Now change the input voltage to a square wave with an amplitude of 1 V, duty cycle 50%, time
period 10 mS and rise time = fall time = 0.1 microsec. by the LTSpice command Pulse(0V 1V 0
