result in one equation with
one unknown, when
properly labeled.

equations in terms of node voltages can be
developed.

Nodal Analysis
Identify and label all nodes in the system.
Select one node as a reference node (V=0)
Perform KCL at each non-reference node
expressing each branch current in terms of the
node voltages
If any branch contains a voltage source
One way: Make reference node the negative end of the voltage source
and set node values on the positive end equal to the source values
(reduces number of equations and unknowns by one)
Another way: Create an equation where the difference between the
node voltages on either end to source is equal to the source value and
then use a surface around both nodes for KCL (provides an extra
equation lost from the unknown current in voltage source)

Loop Analysis
Create loop current labels that include every
circuit branch where each loop contains a branch
included by no other loop and no loops cross each
other.
Perform KVL around each loop expressing all
voltages in terms of loop currents.
If any branch contains a current source,
One way: Let only only one loop current pass through source so loop
current then equals the source value (reduces number of equations and
unknowns by one)
Another way: Let more than one loop pass through source and set
combination of loop current equal to source value (provides an extra
equation lost from the unknown voltage drop on current source)

Example
Operational amplifiers (op amps) were originally
developed to amplify DC voltage levels in analog
computers. Today, their applications are many. Apply
the model for the ideal op amp to find the voltage gain
(Vo/Vi) in the given circuit:

Op Amp Model
The actual op amp is composed of many transistors,
but can be approximated with a simpler circuit model:

Ideal Approximation
Typical values for Ri = 2 M, A=106, and Ro=50.
For circuit in the first example, use op amp model with
dependent source to justify the ideal approximations made
in the first example.

Analyzing Ideal Op Amp Circuits
The
simplifications for the op amp
model suggest that nodal analysis will
often be the best method of analyzing
op amp circuits.
Do
examples of circuits with op amps,
independent sources, and resistors.

Design Example
2 Microphones with sensitivities of 3 mV/dB and 6 mV/dB and are
denoted as independent voltage sources V1 and V2, respectively.
Determine resistor values so that Vo is the difference between the
microphone sound pressure levels (SPL) such that a 1 dB change in
SPL corresponds to a 30 mV change in Vo.

Design Strategy
The structure of the formula suggests breaking the
problem into 2 parts:
Part 1: Let the part of the formula associated with
the first subcircuit take care of the scaling the
microphone sensitivities (to make both
sensitivities equal) and then subtracting them.
Part 2: Let the part of formula associated with
second subcircuit take care of the scaling the
difference signal to the 30 mV/dB specification.

Design Decisions
Note in the last example there are many
solutions and several ways to set up the
design equations and solve. Can you
determine if one way is better than the
other? What additional criteria may be
added to this problem?
