-In this part of the lab activity, the CD4069A(UB) un-buffered hex CMOS inverter and a CD4066 Quad analog switch are used as elements of a chopper amplifier. Reconnect the breadboard as indicated in figure 6. Referring to figure 6, the various functions of this circuit can be determined. The two inverters on the bottom left of figure create a square wave and its complement to drive the switch controls of the CD4066. These square waves drive the switches, with switches A and B functioning as a single-pole, double-throw switch on the input, and switches C and D performing the same function on the output. The other inverter at the top of figure 6 is used as an AC coupled Amplifier similar to what we just looked at in figure 4.+In this part of the lab activity, the CD4069A(UB) un-buffered hex CMOS inverter and a CD4066 Quad analog switch are used as elements of a chopper amplifier.

 In operation, the input signal is modulated by the input switches, amplified by the ac amplifier, and then demodulated by the output switches. The 20 kΩ, 560 pF low pass filter minimizes the high frequency ripple in the output. In operation, the input signal is modulated by the input switches, amplified by the ac amplifier, and then demodulated by the output switches.

-Measure the transfer characteristic (DC gain) of the chopper amplifier by applying DC voltages between about -2 V and +2 V to the input and measuring the output. This can be done manually using waveform generator W1 with a DC wave shape and setting the offset. Be sure to take sufficient data to determine the linear and nonlinear ranges of the transfer characteristic. To reduce data taking time, try using the waveform generator to provide a very low frequency (100 Hz) triangle signal with 0V offset. For example, a 2V amplitude setting will give outputs between +2V and -2V, respectively.+Measure the transfer characteristic (DC gain) of the chopper amplifier by applying DC voltages between about -2 V and +2 V to the input and measuring the output.
