Description:
In this lab we used multiple op amps to perform some sort of useful function.

Peak Detector
This circuit's purpose is to indicate when an input's amplitude exceeds a certain threshold.

Analog to Digital Converter
ADCs are commonly used to convert analog signals to digital signals. Examples include storage, signal processing, and display. We built a flash ADC.





Feeding different input signals into the ADC.


Ramp Generator (Oscillator)
Ramp generators are used to generate a periodic, linearly increasing signal.
