RC Differentiator & Integrator

This experiment observes how an RC circuit can transform an input signal into a differentiated or integrated output signal. The objective is to use an RC differentiating circuit to transform a square wave input into a differentiated output signal. The procedure connects a function generator providing a square wave input to an RC differentiating circuit and oscilloscope to observe the input and output waveforms. The output is observed at various frequencies and for sine wave and triangle wave inputs as well. Then an integrating circuit is used to integrate the input signal.

transformed into a differentiating function of the input square wave.
II. Equipment and Materials
Model DI-1
Model DI-2
1- function generator
1- oscilloscope
1- set of connecting wire

III. Basic Concepts
One of the many advantages of electronic circuits is the ease,
speed
and accuracy with which voltage and current waveforms can be controlled.
This is in order to bring out the desired output waveform.
Differentiation- a circuit whose output is a differential function of the input
waveform.
