The Breadboard
The breadboard consists of two terminal strips and two bus strips (often broken in the centre). Each
bus strip has two rows of contacts. Each of the two rows of contacts are a node. That is, each contact
along a row on a bus strip is connected together (inside the breadboard). Bus strips are used primarily
for power supply connections, but are also used for any node requiring a large number of
connections. Each terminal strip has 60 rows and 5 columns of contacts on each side of the centre
gap. Each row of 5 contacts is a node. You will build your circuits on the terminal strips by inserting
the leads of circuit components into the contact receptacles and making connections with 22-26
gauge wire. There are wire cutter/strippers and a spool of wire in the lab. It is a good practice to wire
+5V and 0V power supply connections to separate bus strips.
The 5V supply MUST NOT BE EXCEEDED since this will damage the ICs (Integrated circuits)
used during the experiments. Incorrect connection of power to the ICs could result in them exploding
or becoming very hot - with the possible serious injury occurring to the people working on the
experiment! Ensure that the power supply polarity and all components and connections are correct
before switching on power.
Throughout these experiments we will use TTL chips to build circuits. The steps for wiring a circuit
should be completed in the order described below:
1. Turn the power (Trainer Kit) off before you build anything!
2. Make sure the power is off before you build anything!
3. Connect the +5V and ground (GND) leads of the power supply to the power and ground bus
strips on your breadboard.
4. Plug the chips you will be using into the breadboard. Point all the chips in the same direction
with pin 1 at the upper-left corner. (Pin 1 is often identified by a dot or a notch next to it on
the chip package)
5. Connect +5V and GND pins of each chip to the power and ground bus strips on the
breadboard.
6. Select a connection on your schematic and place a piece of hook-up wire between
corresponding pins of the chips on your breadboard. It is better to make the short connections
before the longer ones. Mark each connection on your schematic as you go, so as not to try to
make the same connection again at a later stage.
7. Get one of your group members to check the connections, before you turn the power on.
8. If an error is made and is not spotted before you turn the power on. Turn the power off
immediately before you begin to rewire the circuit.
9. At the end of the laboratory session, collect you hook-up wires, chips and all equipment and
return them to the demonstrator.
10. Tidy the area that you were working in and leave it in the same condition as it was before you
started.
In all experiments, you will be expected to obtain all instruments, leads, components at the
start of the experiment and return them to their proper place after you have finished the
experiment. Please inform the demonstrator or technician if you locate faulty equipment. If you
damage a chip, inform a demonstrator, don't put it back in the box of chips for somebody else to
use.
Build a circuit to implement the Boolean function F = (A’.B’)’, please note that the
notation A’ refers to . You should use that notation during the write-up of your
laboratory experiments.
Sometimes the chip manufacturer may denote the first pin by a small indented circle above the
first pin of the chip. Place your chips in the same direction, to save confusion at a later stage.
Remember that you must connect power to the chips to get them to work.
A digital signal is one that represents between two discrete levels of voltage. These changes
are abrupt. The most positive fixed voltage represents 1 state and the most negative fixed
voltage represents 0 state.
Logic gates are the most basic type of digital circuit which consists of two or more inputs and
one output. A gate can be used alone to perform a logic function. It can also be connected to
several other gates to form a logic network.
Each type of basic logic gate is assigned with a symbol that has a distinct shape so that it can be
distinguished from others and symbolically represent a logic gate.
A truth table is a formal specification that describes the exact circuit output behavior for every
possible set of inputs. Truth tables are also called function tables.
In most situations logic signals applied to the inputs of logic gates are not stationary levels.
Instead they are voltages that change continually between two states. To illustrate how logic
gates, respond to input logic signals in relation to time, timing diagrams are used. It is a plot
of signal values/ amplitude Vs time.
An IC (integrated circuit) is a miniature chip of silicon or germanium on which an entire
electronic circuit consisting of resistors, capacitors, diodes and transistors are built. When
combined, these components are capable of performing many functions which include logic
gate operations.
Several types of IC packages are available. A very popular package is DIP which stands for
dual in – line package. “Dual in – line” means that the pins are positioned in a line on both
sides of the IC package. The most common IC‟s have 8, 14, 16, 24 or 40 pins, which are
numbered in a counter clockwise direction when viewed from the top. Pin number 1 is located
next to an indentation or dot placed on the body of the IC package
To operate properly power must be supplied to the pin labeled VCC and ground must be
connected to the pin labeled GND. Most of the pins are used as input and output connections
for the circuitry.
The available digital IC‟s may be classified as – TTL (transistor – transistor logic) family,
CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) family and ECL (emitter coupled logic)
family. As most widely used gates have their equivalent CMOS gates sometimes it may
suffice to conduct experiments only on TTL gate.
VIHmin(VILmin) is the minimum input voltage used to represent a logic high (logic low).
VIHmax (VILmax) is the maximum input voltage used to represent a logic high (logic low).
VOHmin(VOLmin) is the minimum output voltage used to represent a logic high (logic low).
VOHmax (VOLmax) is the maximum input voltage used to represent a logic high (logic low).
Determination of VOL, VOH, VIL & VIH of an inverter:
Consider a inverter. If VIN = 0V dc then VOUT = +5V dc and if VIN = +5V dc then VOUT =
0V dc. A typical TTL inverter is composed of a number of transistors, resistors and diodes
and as a result the inverter output voltage levels depart somewhat from ideal values of +5 and
0 V dc. To establish acceptable operating limits, the manufacturer will list on data sheets the
maximum, minimum and typical values for the output levels (Fig 5).
When the inverter output is at logic level 1, the manufacturer guarantees the output voltage in
this high state will be somewhere in the band labeled VOH. The maximum voltage VOHmax
is +5V dc and the minimum voltage is given as VOHmin in the data sheet. Most inverter
circuits have a logic 1 output level VOHtypical , near the middle of the high level band. If the
measured VOH is not within the limits specified VOHmin and VOHmax the IC must be
replaced as it is considered as defective. When the inverter output is at logic level 0, the
manufacturer guarantees the output voltage in this low state will be somewhere in the band
labeled VOL. The minimum voltage VOLmin is 0V dc and the maximum voltage is given as
VOLmax in the data sheet. Most inverter circuits have a logic 0 output level VOLtypical ,
near the middle of the ow level band. If the measured VOL is notwithin the limits specified
VOLmin and VOLmax the IC must be replaced as it is considered as defective.
Except when switching from one state to the other, the inverter output voltage level must be
either in the high band or in the low band. The transition region is therefore a forbidden
output voltage region except for the short time required for the inverter output to switch from
one voltage level to the other. Since the output of an inverter may be used as the input to
another inverter or for any other TTL logic circuits, limits must be placed on the input voltage
levels to ensure that all TTL logic circuits are compatible with one another.
For an inverter input to be at logic level 0, it must be somewhere in the band labeled VIL. The
minimum voltage VILmin is 0V dc and the maximum voltage is given as VILmax in the data
sheet. If the applied VIL is within the limits specified VILmin and VILmax then the output
will go to High state (Fig 6). For an inverter input to be at logic level 1, it must be somewhere
in the band labeled VIH. The maximum voltage VIHmax is +5V dc and the minimum voltage
is given as VIHmin in the data sheet. If the applied VIH is within the limits specified VIHmin
and VIHmax then the output will go to Low state (Fig 6).
The unwanted spurious signals generated in the connecting wires due to stray electric and
magnetic fields is known as noise. This voltage obviously appears at the input of a gate. If the
input spurious signal has a large magnitude, it may change the output of a gate falsely thereby
causing error. The ability of the circuit to tolerate (maximum noise voltage that can appear at the
input without producing a change in the output state) noise voltages on its input is known as noise
immunity and measure of it is known as noise margin. Usually IC manufacturers give dc values of
noise margins giving both low and high values. High state noise margin is V NH = VOHmin – VIHmin
and Low state noise margin is VNL = VILmax – VOLmax.
Determination of Noise margin for a NAND gate: Consider the following circuit shown in Fig7.
Tabulate the various voltages and calculate noise margin using the below formula.
When output is high VNH = VOHmin – VIHmin and when output is low VNL = VILmax – VOLmax.
IOH – HIGH LEVEL OUTPUT CURRENT – the current that flows from an output in a logic 1
state under specified load conditions.
IOHmax – It is the maximum current that the driver gate can source when it is in a 1 state
IOL – LOW LEVEL OUTPUT CURRENT – the current that flows from an output in a logic 0 state
under specified load conditions.
IOLmax –It is the maximum current that the driver gate can sink when its output is a logic 0. I IL
– LOW LEVEL INPUT CURRENT – the current that flows into an input when a specified
Low level voltage is applied to that input.
IIH – HIGH LEVEL INPUT CURRENT – the current that flows into an input when a specified
High level voltage is applied to that input.
The number of inputs a logic gate is designed to handle is termed as FAN IN. FAN OUT is the
ability of a logic gate to drive number of inputs of other logic gates of the same type. HIGH state
FAN OUT = IOHmax / IIH. & LOW state FAN OUT = IOLmax / IIL
Determination of FAN OUT for a NAND gate:
Fig 8 & 9: FAN OUT for a NAND gate Circuit to determine fan out of TTL NAND gate
Consider the circuit shown in Fig 8 and 9. Keeping the driving gate output at low, keep connecting gates
to the output of this gate as shown in Fig 8 and measure maximum value of IOL by an ammeter.
Connecting additional gates may be stopped when the output of the driving gates changes its logical level.
As such the FAN OUT may be evaluated. Similarly keep the driving gate output high as shown in Fig 4b
and measure the maximum value of IOH. Calculate FAN OUT using the formula -
HIGH state FAN OUT = IOHmax / IIH & LOW state FAN OUT = IOLmax / IIL
NOTE: In few cases FAN OUT for HIGH state and LOW state may be same. If they are not same
then lower of the two values is taken as FAN OUT.
When an input signal is applied to a logic gate certain amount of time elapses before the signal
shows up at the output. The time elapsed is known as propagation delay.
Determination of propagation delay: Consider an inverter. Apply a square wave input of known
amplitude and frequency (say amplitude of 5V and frequency of 10kHz). Observe the waveform
at the output terminal using a CRO and measure the propagation delay.
Manufacturers specify two delays namely tPLH (propagation delay when the output voltage
switches from low to high) and tPHL (propagation delay when the output voltage switches from
high to low).
The delays defined are between the 50% amplitude points on the input and output pulse
waveform.

Inverting Amplifier:
The inverter is the basic building block of any circuit. This is perhaps the most widely used of all the
Op Amp circuits. The circuit of inverting amplifier is shown in Fig.1.1. The output voltage 𝑣𝑜 is
feedback to the inverting input terminal through the resistor 𝑅𝐹 and 𝑅1 network. Input signal 𝑣𝑖 (ac) is
applied to the inverting input terminal through R1 and non-inverting input terminal of Op Amp is
grounded. For simplicity let us assume an ideal Op Amp. As 𝑣𝑑 = 0, node ‘a’ is at virtual ground
potential. Writing nodal equation at point ‘a’ yields;

Non-inverting Amplifier:
If a signal (ac) is applied to the non-inverting input terminal and feedback is given as shown in
Fig.1.3, the circuit amplifies the input signal without inverting it. Such a circuit is called non-inverting
amplifier. It may be noted that it is also a negative feedback system as output is being fed back to the
inverting input terminal.
As the differential input voltage 𝑣𝑑 at the input terminal of Op Amp is zero, the voltage at node ‘a’ in
Fig.1.3 is 𝑣𝑖 , same as the input voltage applied to non-inverting input terminal. Now 𝑅𝐹 and 𝑅1 forms
a potential divider. Writing nodal equation at point a yields;

This circuit turns out to be a very useful service, because the input impedance of the op amp is very
high, giving effective isolation of the output from the signal source. We draw very little power from
the signal source, avoiding "loading" effects. The voltage follower is often used for the construction
of buffers for logic circuits.

Difference Amplifier:
A difference amplifier or subtractor circuit is shown in Fig.4.1. Here, input signals can be scaled to
the desired values by selecting appropriate values for the resistors. When this is done, the circuit is
referred to as scaling amplifier. However, in this circuit all external resistors are of equal value. So
the gain of amplifier is equal to one. The output voltage 𝑣𝑜 is equal to the voltage applied to the non-
inverting terminal minus the voltage applied to the inverting terminal; hence the circuit is called a
subtractor.

Experiment 4
Aims & Objectives:
(a) Design and implement a Butterworth Low Pass Filter using Op Amp 741 for the given cut-
off frequency and obtain its frequency response.
(b) Design and implement a Butterworth High Pass Filter using Op Amp 741 for the given
cut-off frequency and obtain its frequency response.
Equipment & Accessories Required:
CRO, Function Generator, Power Supply, Bread Board, Multimeter, Connecting wires, and
CRO probes.
Components Required:
Resistors, Capacitors, Op Amp IC 741.
Theory:
A filter segregates between two types of matters. Similarly, electric filter segregates the voltage
between different ranges of frequencies. A low-pass filter allows low-frequency signal components
(including direct current) to be transmitted, while high-frequency components up to definite range
(including infinite ones) are blocked. The range of low frequencies, which are passed, is called
the pass band or the bandwidth of the filter. The sharpness of the transition from stop band to pass
band can be controlled to some degree during the design.
The ideal low-pass filter response can be approximated by a rational function approximation scheme
such as the Butterworth response. The Butterworth filter is also called maximally flat or flat-flat filter.
Active Filters employ transistors, more appropriately Op – Amps in addition to that of resistors and
capacitors. Active filters have the following advantages over passive filters: (1) Flexible gain and
frequency adjustment, (2) No loading problem (because of high input impedance and low output
impedance), and (3) More economical than passive filters. A Second Order Low Pass Butterworth
filter uses RC networks for filtering. Note that the Op Amp is used in the non-inverting configuration;
hence it does not load down the RC network. Resistors RF and R1 determine the gain of the filter. Fig.
7.1 shows a second order LPF with a roll off of -40dB/decade.

Thus the Low Pass filter has a constant gain 𝐴𝑜 from 0 Hz to the almost high cut-off frequency,
fH, it has the gain 0.707𝐴𝑜 at exactly fH, and after fH, it decreases at a constant rate with an
increase in frequency. The gain decreases 40 dB (= 20𝑙𝑜𝑔102 ) each time the frequency is increased
by 10. Hence, the rate at which the gain rolls off after fH is 40 dB/decade. The frequency f = fH is
called the cut-off frequency because the gain of the filter at this frequency is down by 3 dB (=20log
0.707) from 0 Hz. Other equivalent terms for cut-off frequency are -3dB frequency, break frequency,
or corner frequency.

Second Order High Pass Filter consists of RC networks for filtering. Second Order High Pass filter

Procedure:
1. Connect the components/equipment as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. Set Vi = 1V & fi =50Hz using function generator.
3. Vary the input frequency in regular intervals, note down the output voltage.
4. Calculate the gain (Vo/Vin) and Gain in dB = 20 log (Vo/Vin) at every frequency.
5. Plot the frequency response curve (taking frequency on X-axis & Gain in dB on Y-axis) using
Semi log Graph.
6. Find out the high cut-off frequency, fH (at Gain= Constant Gain, Ao – 3 dB) from the
frequency response plotted.
7. Repeat steps 1 to 5 for high pass filter and find out the high cut-off frequency, fH (at Gain=
Constant Gain, Af – 3 dB) from the frequency response plotted.
Calculations:
Let C2 = C3 = C as 0.1f, thus calculate R2=R3=R.
Gain, {1+(RF/R1)} = 1.586 to get Butterworth response. Hence choose a value of R1 100k and
calculate the value of RF.

Schmitt Trigger:
Theoretically, if the loop gain - βAOL is adjusted to unity, then the gain with feedback, 𝐴𝑣𝑓 becomes
infinite. In practical circuits, however, it may not be possible to maintain loop-gain exactly equal to
unity for a long time because of supply voltage and temperature variations. So a value greater than
unity is chosen. This also gives an output waveform virtually discontinuous at the comparison
voltage. This circuit, however, now exhibits a phenomenon called hysteresis or backlash. Fig 9.1
shows a regenerative comparator. The circuit is also known as Schmitt trigger. The input voltage is
applied to the (-) input terminal and the feedback to the (+) input terminal. The input voltage Vi
triggers the output Vo every time it exceeds certain voltage levels. These voltage levels are called
upper threshold voltage (VUT) and lower threshold voltage (VLT). The hysteresis voltage (Vhy) is the
difference between these two threshold voltages i.e. VUT - VLT. These threshold voltages are calculated
as follows.
Upper threshold voltage, VUT = {R1 / (R1 + RF)} (+Vsat)
Lower threshold voltage, VLT = {R1 / (R1 + RF)}(-Vsat)
Hysteresis voltage, Vhy = VUT - VLT = {R1 / (R1 + RF)}(+Vsat-(-Vsat)

Fig. 11.2 output waveforms
To reduce the output to a square wave with T1 =T2, the diode is connected with R1 = R2. The diode
remainsshort resulting in the charging time of T2 = 0.693 R1C.
Thus for different duty cycles, the following relationships between the resistances R1 and R2 should
be achieved:
T1 < T2 if R1 < R2
T1 > T2 if R1 > R2
T1 = T2 if R1 = R2
Procedure:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in the Fig.11.1 on the breadboard.
2. Observe and sketch the voltage waveform at pin-3 and that across the capacitor.
3. Measure the frequency and duty cycle of the output waveform.

propagated from the previous stage. In effect, a full adder adds three bits to give out two
outputs – sum and carry out. A, B and Cin are the three inputs, out of which Cin is to be
considered as carry propagated from the previous stage. S and Cout are the three outputs.

Multiplexers and De-multiplexers
MULTIPLEXERS – A multiplexer or data selector is a logic circuit that accepts several data
inputs and allows only one of them at a time to get through the output. The routing of the desired
data input to the output is controlled by SELECT inputs. The multiplexer acts like a digitally
controlled multi position switch. The digital code applied to the SELECT inputs determines which
data input to be switched to the output.
DEMULTIPLEXER – A de-multiplexer or data distributor is a circuit that receives information
on a single line and transmits this information on one of the 2n possible output lines. The selection
of a specific output line is controlled by n selection lines. A decoder can function as de-
multiplexer if enable line is taken as data input.

EXPERIMENT 14
Aim:
A DAC having a 4-bit input produces only 24 = 16 different analog output voltages,
corresponding to the 16 different values that can be represented by the 4-bit input, The output
of the converter is, therefore, not truly analog, The greater the number of input bits, the
greater the number tile output values and the closer the output resembles a true analog
quantity. Resolution is a measure of this property.
The above can also be said about the ADC except that the output will determine its resolution
instead of the input.
