This laboratory explores some circuits using the LM348 operational amplifier, the same IC you used in laboratory 3. You will use the triple-output DC supply on the lab bench to provide the ±12-volt power to the op-amp. Figure 6 at the end of this document shows recommended power connections. Connect the 12-volt supply to Va and the -12-volt supply to Vb. Connect the COM output to ground. The pin diagram for the LM348 is reproduced in Figure 1.
