-Waveform generator 1 should be configured for a 60 KHz square wave 1V amplitude and 0 volt offset. Scope channel 1 is used to monitor the input square wave and should be set to 500 mV/div and used as the trigger source. Scope channel 2 is used to alternately measure the op amp output, V<sub>2</sub>, and the Error signal at the wiper of the potentiometer. Channel 2 should be set to 500 mV/div when observing the output of the amplifier but should be set to a more sensitive scale of 10 mV/div when observing the Error signal.+Waveform generator 1 should be configured for a 60 KHz square wave 1V amplitude peak-to-peak and 0 volt offset.

-First use a OP27 amplifier from the Analog Parts Kit for your measurements. The potentiometer should be set near the center of its adjustment range beforehand and should be fine-tuned such that the flat portion of both halves of the signal are nearly equal and centered near 0 Volts, note figure 3. Export the Error waveform showing the settling to both rising and falling input steps for inclusion in your Lab report. You can also store the Error waveform, scope channel 2, for the OP27 as a reference waveform (R1) for future comparison to the settling response of other amplifiers.+First use a OP27 amplifier from the Analog Parts Kit for your measurements.

 Next replace the OP27 amplifier with a OP37 amplifier from the Parts Kit. Again export the Error waveform showing the settling to both rising and falling input steps for inclusion in your Lab report. Overlay the OP37 settling waveform with the saved reference waveform of the OP27. Compare the settling time and general characteristics of each.

 In making settling time measurements of this type, it is also imperative to use a pulse source capable of generating a pulse of very fast rise and fall times and sufficient flatness. In other words, if the op amp under test has a settling time of 20 nSec to 0.1%, the applied pulse should settle to better than 0.05% in less than 5 nSec. This is beyond the capabilities of the AWG sources built into the ADALM2000 module. In making settling time measurements of this type, it is also imperative to use a pulse source capable of generating a pulse of very fast rise and fall times and sufficient flatness.

 The circuit in figure 4 works best if low capacitance Schottky diodes are used for D<sub>1</sub>, D<sub>2</sub>, D<sub>3</sub>, and the lead lengths on all the connections are minimized. A short length of 50Ω coax can be used to connect the pulse generator to the circuit, however best results are obtained if the test fixture is connected directly to the output of the generator. The pulse generator is adjusted to output a positive-going pulse at "A" which rises from approximately -1.8 V to +0.5 V in less than 5 nSec (assuming the settling time of the test device is in the order of 20 nSec). Shorter rise times may generate ringing, and longer rise times can degrade the test device settling time; therefore some optimization is required in the actual circuit to get best performance. When the pulse generator output "A" goes above 0 V, D<sub>1</sub> begins to conduct, and D<sub>2</sub>/D<sub>3</sub> are reversed biased. The "0V" region of the signal "B" at the input of the device to be tested is flat "by definition"-neglecting the leakage current and stray capacitance of the D<sub>2</sub>-D<sub>3</sub> series combination. The D<sub>1</sub> diode and its 100O resistor help maintain an approximate 50O termination during the time the pulse at "A" is positive. The circuit in figure 4 works best if low capacitance Schottky diodes are used for D<sub>1</sub>, D<sub>2</sub>, D<sub>3</sub>, and the lead lengths on all the connections are minimized.
