Transcript Operational Amplifiers

What is an Op-Amp

Low cost integrating circuit consisting of:
 Transistors
 Resistors
 Capacitors
Able to amplify a signal due to an external
power supply
 Name derives from its use to perform
operations on a signal.

Applications of Op-Amps
Simple Amplifiers
 Summers
 Comparators
 Integrators
 Differentiators
 Active Filters
 Analog to Digital Converters

Summing Circuits
• Used to add analog signals
• Voltage averaging function into
summing function
Calculate closed loop gain for each input

Difference Circuit
• Used to subtract analog
signals
• Output signal is proportional
to difference between two
inputs

Integrating Circuit
• Replace feedback resistor of
inverting op-amp with capacitor
• A constant input signal generates
a certain rate of change in output
voltage
• Smoothes signals over time
Differentiating Circuit
• Input resistor of inverting op-amp
is replaced with a capacitor
• Signal processing method which
accentuates noise over time
• Output signal is scaled derivative
of input signal
Filters
Low Pass Filters
 High Pass Filters
 Band Pass Filters

Low Pass Filter
• Used to filter out signals above a
specified frequency
• Example: Noise
Frequency range is governed by:
1
f 
2  R  C
Where
R = R2
C = C2
High Pass Filter
• Filters out frequencies below a specified
frequency
• Reverse locations of resistors and
capacitors in a low pass filter
Band Pass Filter
• Created by combining a high and low pass filter
• Only allows signals within frequency ranges specified by the
low and high pass filters to pass
Comparator Circuit
V1 is Vref
V2 is Vin
• Determines if one signal is bigger than another
• No negative feedback, infinite gain and circuit saturates
• Saturation: output is most positive or most negative value
OR Gate
If U1 or/and U2 = 5V,
U3 = 5V
If U2 and U1 = 0V,
U3 = 0V

Gain Bandwidth
 Falloff Frequency
 Slew Rate (ΔV/ΔT)
 Rise Time

Gain Bandwidth
Gain Bandwidth Product (GBP)- is the
product of the open-loop gain and the
bandwidth at that gain.
 For practical purposes the actual gain
should only be 1/10 to 1/20 of the open
loop gain at a given frequency to ensure
that the op-amp will operate without
distortion.
