The zener diode ( 1N4735 ) supplied in the Analog Parts Kit is a 6.1 volt diode. 6.1 volts is much too high a reverse breakdown voltage to build this circuit using the fixed +/- 5 volt power supplies of the Analog Discovery hardware. The forward voltage of an LED is in the range of 1.6 to 2.0 volts depending on the color of the diode. While not a proper reference diode, we can build the circuit for instructional purposes using the LEDs from the Analog Parts Kit. | The zener diode ( 1N4735 ) supplied in the ADALP2000 Analog Parts Kit is a 6.1 volt diode. 6.1 volts is much too high a reverse breakdown voltage to build this circuit using the fixed +/- 5 volt power supplies of the ADALM2000 hardware.

Build both of the versions of the circuits in figure 1(a) and 1(b) as shown in figure 2 on your solder-less breadboard. Use two LEDs preferably of the same color. Green LEDs will have a higher forward voltage drop than red or yellow. We want the diode current, I<sub>D</sub>, to be about 1 mA and the as close to this same value in both versions of the circuit. In the case (b) I<sub>D</sub> will be +5/R<sub>4</sub> so a 4.7 KΩ resistor would give about 1 mA. In case (a) I<sub>D</sub> will be (+5-V<sub>D</sub>)/R<sub>3</sub>. If we use 2 V as an estimate for V<sub>D</sub>, then R<sub>3</sub> would be around 3 KΩ. You can get 3 KΩ by connecting two 1.5 KΩ resistors from the Parts Kit in series. Also for case (a) we need to pick values for R<sub>1</sub> and R<sub>2</sub>. We want the current in R<sub>1</sub> to be much smaller than the current in R<sub>3</sub>. So setting R<sub>1</sub> and R<sub>2</sub> to a much higher value such as 20 KΩ should satisfy that condition. | Build both of the versions of the circuits in figure 1(a) and 1(b) as shown in figure 2 on your solder-less breadboard.

Open the voltage supply control and the voltmeter instrument windows from the Scopy software. A DMM, if available, could be useful to more accurately measure the DC voltages in the circuit than the Scopy voltmeter instrument. | Open the voltage supply control and the voltmeter instrument windows from the Scopy software.

To test the headroom requirements for +V<sub>DD</sub>, disconnect the fixed positive power supply from +V<sub>DD</sub> and remove any supply decoupling capacitors. Be sure to turn off the power supplies before making any changes or additions to your breadboard. Now connect +V<sub>DD</sub> to AWG 1. Set AWG 1 to trapezium (trapezoid) waveform at 100 Hz. Set the amplitude to 2.5V with a 2.5V offset for a 0 to +5V swing. Connect scope channel 1 to the output of AWG1 and connect scope channel 2 to -V<sub>REF</sub> of the first example circuit at pin 14 of the OP482. Use the oscilloscope instrument in the XY mode, scope channel for X and scope channel 2 for Y. Start AWG 1 and turn on the fixed negative 5V power supply. Record the minimum +V<sub>DD</sub> voltage where -V<sub>REF</sub> starts to remain constant at -1.25V. | To test the headroom requirements for +V<sub>DD</sub>, disconnect the fixed positive power supply from +V<sub>DD</sub> and remove any supply decoupling capacitors.
