GATE Electrical – Analog Electronics

Practice Problems – Page 15

This section contains problems based on Operational Amplifier Integrator and Differentiator circuits.


Problem 141

Question:

What is an integrator circuit?

Answer:

An integrator is an op-amp circuit whose output voltage is proportional to the integral of the input voltage.


Problem 142

Question:

Write the output voltage equation of an op-amp integrator.

Answer:

Vo = − (1/RC) ∫ Vin dt


Problem 143

Question:

If R = 10 kΩ and C = 0.1 μF, find RC.

Solution:

RC = 10,000 × 0.1 × 10⁻⁶

RC = 0.001 sec


Problem 144

Question:

What is the output waveform of an integrator if input is a square wave?

Answer:

Triangular waveform


Problem 145

Question:

Define differentiator circuit.

Answer:

A differentiator produces an output proportional to the rate of change of input voltage.


Problem 146

Question:

Write the output equation of an op-amp differentiator.

Answer:

Vo = − RC (dVin/dt)


Problem 147

Question:

If input is a triangular waveform, what is the output of a differentiator?

Answer:

Square wave


Problem 148

Question:

Why is practical differentiator used instead of ideal differentiator?

Answer:

To avoid excessive noise amplification and instability.


Problem 149

Question:

Where are integrator circuits commonly used?

Answer:

Analog computers, signal processing and waveform generation.


Problem 150

Question:

Where are differentiator circuits used?

Answer:

Edge detection and wave shaping circuits.
