MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 6 071 Introduction to Electronics Signals and Measurement Spring 2006 Laboratory 23 Schmitt Trigger Oscillator Using the LF356 op amp the pinout of which is shown below 1 Design build and test a square wave generator oscillating at a frequency of 1kHz and a duty cycle of 50 R2 R1 V Vo VRF C With what voltage s would you power the op amp Calculate the list the values you would use for the following components R1 R2 RF C 22 071 6 071 Spring 2006 Page1 Use the scope to observe Vo and V and draw the signals below Vo V time 2 What is the highest frequency square wave that you can generate with this circuit Try changing C in decades and observe the result What would the signal Vo look like at high frequencies Can you explain the reason for this behavior 3 Modify the circuit so that the square wave can have variable duty cycle Hint use your 20k variable resistor to change the voltage level that powers your op amp What is the basic idea here Show your circuit schematic below Vary the potentiometer and observe the signals Vo and V 22 071 6 071 Spring 2006 Page2
