| Use the variable positive power supply from the ADALM2000 module set to +5 V to power your circuit. Use scope channel 1 to monitor the voltage at the collector node of Q<sub>1</sub>. | Use the variable positive power supply from the ADALM2000 module set to +5 V to power your circuit.

| Insert a red, yellow or green LED into the circuit as shown one at a time. Try exposing the three different color LEDs from your ADALP2000 Analog Parts Kit to different light sources such as standard incandescent, florescent and LED lights held at differing distances from the LED sensor. Observe the voltage waveform seen at the collector of Q<sub>1</sub>. Try inserting the infrared LED from your kit and observing how it responds to the light from the different sources. Try increasing the sensitivity or gain by increasing the value of R<sub>L</sub> to 200KΩ or 470KΩ. | Insert a red, yellow or green LED into the circuit as shown one at a time.

| Change the circuit on your breadboard to the Darlington configuration shown in figure 2. Be sure to turn off the power supply before making any changes to the circuit. With the Darlington connected transistors the emitter current of Q<sub>2</sub> becomes the base current of Q<sub>1</sub> such that the photo generated current from the LED D<sub>1</sub> is now multiplied by ß<sup>2</sup> and will appear in the load resistor R<sub>L</sub> from the collectors of Q<sub>1</sub> and Q<sub>2</sub>. Because of this much higher current gain we can use a much lower value load resistor. | Change the circuit on your breadboard to the Darlington configuration shown in figure 6.
