VOLTAGE FOLLOWER
Aim

To study the operation of Voltage Follower using IC741.

APPRATUS REQUIRED:
S.NO COMPONENTS RANGE QUANTITY
1 Op-amp IC741 1
2 Bread board 1
3 Dual power supply (0-30)v 1
4 CRO (0-3) MHz) 1
5 Signal generator (0-3) MHZ 1

Principle:
A voltage follower (also called a unity-gain amplifier or buffer amplifier or isolation amplifier) is an
op-amp circuit which has a voltage gain of 1. This means that the op amp does not provide any
amplification to the signal. It is called a voltage follower because the output voltage follows the input
voltage; means the output voltage is same as the input voltage. Though the gain is unity, this circuit
offers high input impedance and low output impedance and hence it is used as buffer, which is used to
isolate a low impedance load from a voltage source to eliminate any loading that might occur.
Procedure:
1. Check the components.
2. Setup the circuit on the breadboard and check the connections.
3. Switch on the power supply.
4. Give 2Vpp/ 1 KHz sine wave as input.
5. Observe input and output on the two channels of the oscilloscope simultaneously.
6. Note down and draw the input and output waveforms on the graph.
7. Verify that the input and output waveforms are same in magnitude and phase.

Design:
The voltage follower is a non-inverting amplifier with unity gain.
A = 1+ R f / Ri = 1
R f / Ri = 0
Therefore, R f = 0
