Differentiator Problem:
1. The circuit below is a typical layout of a Practical OP-Amp Differentiator. The system where the
differentiator will be used has one +5volt and one -5 volt supply. The signal to be differentiated is a
500 Hz, 1 volt peak triangular wave. Calculate values for R2 and R5 assuming a capacitor value of
0.1 uf.

Given: f=500 hz, Vp= 1 volts.
V2 5V
t=1/f=1/500= 2ms, t=(R5)(C1), R5=t/C1 0
R5= 2ms/0.1uf=20K, fh=10(f)=10Khz 0 Differentiator JOR
R2=1/(6.28)( 5k)(0.1uf) =319. JOR
