InLAB Output Graphs
Observations
• Input 1: 1 V peak-to-peak sine wave at 100 kHz.
• Input 2: DC offset of 1 V.
The output waveform is observed to be a sine wave with an altered amplitude and offset due to the
summing of the AC and DC components.
Inference
The circuit functions as a summing amplifier, producing an output that is the algebraic sum of the input
AC and DC signals. The output signal is a sine wave shifted by 1 V due to the DC offset, and its
amplitude is scaled based on the resistor network. The behavior matches the theoretical expectations
of an ideal summer circuit.

• A more stable amplification, as the impact of capacitive reactance (Cf b and Cdut ) becomes less
significant at lower frequencies.
• The output waveform should be less attenuated compared to the higher frequency input.

Conclusion
At higher frequencies, the capacitive components (Cf b and Cdut ) introduce frequency-dependent atten-
uation and phase shifts due to their reactance. Lowering the frequency to 5 kHz results in a more stable
amplification, as the capacitive reactance is less influential. This demonstrates the filtering effect of the
feedback capacitors and confirms that the circuit behaves like a low-pass filter at high frequencies.

AC Gain of the Circuit
For the given circuit, the AC gain from VDU T to Vout is given by:
• VDC
• VDU T p−p
• Vout p−p
• AC Gain
• CDU T
Take readings until the Op-Amp saturates. After completing measurements for positive values of
VDC , change its polarity and take readings for negative values of VDC as well.

• Oxide thickness (tox )
Note: When VDC is positive, the negative part of the C-V curve is obtained, and vice versa, due to
the Op-Amp configuration. Therefore, the C-V plot should reflect this accordingly.
The area (A) of the MOSCAP should be calculated according to its dimensions.
