Op Amps: Introduc1on • Op Amp is short form of opera1onal amplifier. • An op amp is an electronic unit that behaves like a voltage controlled voltage source. • An opera1onal amplifier has a very high input impedance and a very high gain. 2 Op Amps: Use of Op Amps • Op amps can be configured in many different ways using resistors and other components. • Most configura1ons use feedback. • An op amp can be designed to perform mathema1cal opera1ons of addi1on, subtrac1on, mul1plica1on, division, differen1a1on, and integra1on. 3 Op Amps: Applica1ons of Op Amps • Amplifiers provide gains in voltage or current. • Op amps can convert current to voltage. • Op amps can provide a buffer between two circuits. • Op amps can be used to implement integrators and differen1ators. • Op amps can be used to design filters (i.e. lowpass and bandpass filters). 4 Op Amps: Op Amp Symbol A typical op amp: (a) pin configura1on, (b) circuit symbol. 5 Op Amps: Schema1c diagram of op amp 6 Op Amps: The Op Amp Model InverGng input Output Non-­‐inverGng input The output voltage The differenGal input voltage A is the open-­‐loop voltage gain. 7 Op Amps: Typical op amp parameters 8 Op Amps: • Example 5.1: A 741 op amp has an open-­‐loop voltage gain of 2x105, input resistance of 2 MΩ, and output resistance of 50 Ω.

An op amp is ideal if it has the following characteris1cs: 1. Infinite open-­‐loop gain, A = ∞ 2. Infinite input resistance, Rin=∞ 3. Zero output resistance, Ro=0 10 Op Amps: Ideal Op Amp • An ideal op amp is an amplifier with infinite open-­‐loop gain, infinite input resistance, and zero output resistance. 1. Ideal Op Amp Model 1. Infinite open-­‐loop gain, A = ∞ 2. Infinite input resistance, Rin=∞ 3. Zero output resistance, Ro=0 11 Op Amps: Ideal Op Amp • Two important characteris1cs of the ideal op amp are: 1. The currents into both input terminals are zero. This is due to infinite input resistance. An infinite resistance between the input terminals implies that an open circuit exists there and current cannot enter the op amp. 2. The voltage across the input terminals is equal to zero. An ideal op amp has zero current into its two input terminals and the voltage difference between the two input terminals is equal to zero. 12 Op Amps: Ideal Op Amp • Example 5.2: Use the ideal op amp model to calculate the closed-­‐loop gain v0/vs. Find io when vs = 1 V. v2 = v s ⇒ v1 = v2 = vs KCL at inver1ng terminal (v1): vs − vo vs + =0 40 5 9vs = vo v1 vo KCL at output (vo): io = vo − vs vo + 40 ×103 20 ×103 (if vs = 1 V , then vo = 9V) ⇒ io = (0.2 + 0.45) ×10 −3 = 0.65 mA 13 Op Amps: Inver1ng Amplifier • Both the input signal and the feedback are applied at the inver1ng terminal of the op amp. Applying KCL at node 1: Noninver1ng terminal is grounded. • An inver1ng amplifier reverses the polarity of the input signal while amplifying it. 14 Op Amps: Inver1ng Amplifier • Example 5.3: Refer to the op amp in Figure below. If vi =0.5 V, calculate: (a) the output voltage vo, and (b) the current in the 10-­‐kΩ resistor.

Calculate the current through the feedback resistor. 16 Op Amps: • Example 5.1: A 741 op amp has an open-­‐loop voltage gain of 2x105, input resistance of 2 MΩ, and output resistance of 50 Ω. The op amp is used in the circuit shown in Fig. 5.6(a). Find the closed-­‐ loop gain v0/vs. Determine current i when vs = 2 V. • Repeat Ex. 5.1 by using ideal op amp model. 17 Op Amps: Review • To solve an op amp circuit, we usually apply KCL at one or both of the inputs. • We then use the proper1es of the ideal model. § The currents into both input terminals are zero. § The voltage across the input terminals is equal to zero. • We solve for the op amp output voltage. 18 Op Amps: Noninver1ng Amplifier • A noninver1ng amplifier is an op amp circuit designed to provide a posi1ve voltage gain. Apply KCL at inver1ng terminal: (1) (2) Apply eq. (1) into eq (2): Then: 19 Op Amps: Voltage Follower • A voltage follower (or unity gain amplifier) has the output voltage equal to the input voltage.
