3. PASSIVE DIFFERENTIATOR AND INTEGRATOR

AIM:

To study and plot the frequency responses of differentiator and integrator

circuits.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

(i) Differentiator:

Select an input waveform from function generator of different shapes as shown in

figure of amplitude 5VPP and plot the output waveform corresponding to different
RC Time constants.

DESIGN:

Let T= 1 ms & C = 0 .01µf

(i) RC ≤ 0.16T : R =
(ii) RC ≤ 0.016T : R =
(iii) RC ≤ 0.0016T : R =

Select an input waveform from function generator of different shapes as shown in

figure of amplitude 5VPP and plot the output waveform corresponding to different
RC Time constants.

DESIGN:

Let T= 1 ms & C= 0 .01µf

(iv) RC > 16T : R =

(v) RC > 1.6T : R =
(vi) RC > 0.16T : R =

PROCEDURE:

1. Observe the differentiator output using sine, square and triangular waveforms
with:
RC = 0.16T
= 0.016T
= 0.0016T
2. Observe the integrator output using sine, square and triangular waveforms
with:
RC = 0.16T
= 1.6T
= 16T
3. Plot the frequency response for both using sine wave. Vary the frequency
from 50 Hz to 10 KHz.
4. With square input, vary the frequency and identify the region of integration
and differentiation.
