THEORY:
The bootstrap sweep generator uses the following principle in its functioning and
generates the ramp voltage: The transistor acts as ON-OFF switch. is emitter
follower. Input is a pulse voltage or rectangular wave. When input is positive
transistor becomes ON i.e. it goes into saturation. Emitter of is coupled to collector of
through capacitor .
When the input goes negative, becomes OFF, the potential at the collector terminal of

rises. This increase of voltage at this point is transmitted to B through and capacitor .

The result is that the potential of B also arises by the same amount. This is the principle of bootstrap.

PROCEDURE:

1. Rig-up the circuit on the bread board as per the circuit diagram.
2. Apply 6 V ,8V from the dual channel DC regulated power supply.
3. Apply 4 square wave from the function generator to the circuit and
channel I of dual trace CRO.
4. Connect the circuit output to channel II of dual trace CRO.
5. Measure the peak to peak output ramp voltage, sweep time , return time
from the output waveform.
6. Compare the practical values with the theoretical values.
7. Draw the input and output waveforms on the graph.
