Analog electronics & op-amp circuits

Circuit analysis, simulation, and physical prototyping in Electronics I laboratory at the University of North Dakota.

What I'm working on

Electronics laboratory work is an opportunity to connect circuit theory to component behavior, measurements, and real-world constraints. My coursework includes investigating inverting, summing, and difference amplifier configurations.

Key areas

  • Deriving ideal op-amp transfer relationships and resistor ratios.
  • Simulating expected behavior before physical assembly.
  • Implementing circuits with available components and a TL072 amplifier.
  • Understanding practical limitations such as supply headroom, input common-mode range, biasing, and measurement setup.

Engineering focus

Ideal transfer functions provide a prediction, not proof of performance. The practical work is to check the supply configuration, bias conditions, input common-mode range, output swing, component tolerances, and measurement method when a breadboard result differs from simulation.

Scope: This page documents active coursework. It does not claim that every physical circuit has been successfully constructed or verified. Lab photographs and validated measurements can be added after completion.

Next documentation

Planned additions include a labeled schematic, simulated transfer plots, measured data, and a short comparison between predicted and observed results.
