-Before we build any of the DC-DC converter circuits we need to build an input voltage divider circuit to attenuate or reduce the voltages being measured to a low enough value to fit safely within the 0V to +5V range allowed for the ALM1000 analog inputs. Build the simple voltage divider and voltage follower op-amp buffer shown in figure 3 on one end of your solder-less breadboard. The op-amp can be powered from the fixed +5 V supply on the ALM1000. The input offset voltage is supplied from the ALM1000 fixed +2.5 V supply.+Before we build any of the DC-DC converter circuits we need to build an input voltage divider circuit to attenuate or reduce the voltages being measured to a low enough value to fit safely within the 0V to +5V range allowed for the ADALM1000 analog inputs. Build the simple voltage divider shown in figure 3 on one end of your solderless breadboard. A DC offset voltage is supplied from the fixed 5 V supply to allow the ability to measure both positive and negative voltages.

-Use the ALICE desk-top input attenuator gain and offset entry widgets ( figure ) to calibrate the displayed voltage level by connecting the divider input ( end of R<sub>1</sub> ) to ground and the fixed +2.5 V and +5 V supplies on the ALM1000. Adjust the offset value such that the scope trace displays 0 V with the input grounded. Next adjust the gain value so that the trace displays as +5 V with the input connected to +5 V supply. With R<sub>2</sub> = 470 KΩ the gain factor should be around 3, with R<sub>2</sub> = 200 KΩ the gain factor should be around 6. You can double check your settings by connecting the input to the +2.5 V supply and the trace should read as 2.5V. You can now safely measure voltage within the ranges shown in figure 3. Be sure to only use the voltage divider input when measuring voltages in this Lab.+Use the ALICE Desk-top input attenuator gain and offset entry widgets ( figure 4A ) to calibrate the displayed voltage level by connecting the divider input ( end of R<sub>1</sub> ) to ground and the fixed +5 V supply on the ADALM1000. Adjust the offset value such that the scope trace displays 0 V with the input grounded. Next adjust the gain value so that the trace displays as +5 V with the input connected to +5 V supply. With R<sub>2</sub> = 200 KΩ the gain factor should be around 6 but is actually 7.2 due to the internal 1 MΩ input resistance of the input.

-If  a dual version of the op-amp is used  (AD8542) or a second AD8541 single is available then two copies of the input voltage divider can be build, one for CHA and the second for CHB scope input.+For this lab you will be mainly making DC measurements but the frequency response of the input divider can also be adjusted. To adjust the compensation settings open the Change Settings screen. Set CHA to SVMI mode and Shape Square. Set Min value to 0.5 and Max to 4.5. Set the Frequency to 500 Hz. With CHB in Hi-Z mode and connected to the voltage divider connect CHA output to the input of the divider. Adjust the CHB compensation TC1, A1 and TC2, A2 until the CHB wave shape is a flat top square wave just like CHA. Something like the settings shown in Figure 4B.
