Practical Op Amp Differentiator Lab
Objectives:
To build, predict, and measure the characteristics of a practical differentiator in various regions of operation.
Figure 1: A Practical Differentiator
1. Assuming steady state AC operation, calculate Avmb , fa , fb ,
fc , and fd for the circuit shown in Figure 1.
2. Construct the circuit shown in Figure 1.
3. Looking at Figure 1 as a differentiator for frequencies below, fb , predict,
observe and simulate on PSpice Vo for the following input waveforms. Express the predicted
value of Vo as Vop sin(2π f t + θ) for waveforms A, B, and C.
A. Vi = 0.5V sin 2π 100t
B. Vi = 0.5V sin 2π 500t
C. Vi = 0.5V sin 2π 1000t

For waveforms D through F below, sketch two full cycles of the input waveform and the
predicted, measured, and PSpice output waveforms on graph paper.
D. Vi = ± 1V triangle wave at 100Hz
E. Vi = ± 1V triangle wave at 500Hz
F. Vi = ± 1V triangle wave at 1kHz
G. Vi = ± 250mV square wave at 1kHz
4. Looking at Figure 1 as a band pass filter;
A. Use PSpice to find, Avmb , fcenter , flow ,
fhigh , and Plot Phase of Vo from 1Hz ≤ f ≤ 1MHz.
B. Measure the circuit in Figure 1 for, Avmb , fcenter ,
flow , fhigh , and compare the results to the Bode plot
calculated in step 1.
5. Looking at Figure 1 as an integrator for frequencies above fc for an input
Vi = ± 10mV square wave at 50kHz, predict, measure, and simulate on P-Spice
the output waveform. Sketch the results on graph paper for comparison.
