Theory:

1. LM311D:
LM311D is a high-speed voltage comparator which means that it compares the voltage
between negative and positive pins and outputs logic low or high impedance based on the input
differential polarity. These comparators are capable of driving lamps or relays and switching
voltages up to 50 V at 50 mA. The outputs can drive loads referenced to ground, VCC+ or VCC−.
Offset balancing and strobe capabilities are available, and the outputs can be wire-OR
connected. If the strobe is low, the output is in the off state, regardless of the differential input.

2. MBD701: The Schottky diode is designed primarily for high efficiency UHF and VHF
detector applications. It is readily adaptable to many other fast switching RF and digital
applications. It is supplied in an inexpensive plastic package for low high-volume consumer and
industrial/commercial requirements. It is available in a Surface Mount package.

3 .Capacitor –
A capacitor is a two terminal passive electronic component which stores energy. Here
it is basically used to eliminate any noise or A.C. signal.

Discussion:

In this lab, the circuit diagram of Pulse Width Modulation based receiver circuit
have been studied and its layout on PCB have been made using Eagle tool. Also
various functionalities of components like – LM311D (Op-Am Comparator),
MBD701 (Schottky Diode) have been studied. Also capacitors are used to
remove any noise or A.C. component which may have crept in.
