What can you do with infinite gain?
• The goal of amplifier designers: huge gain.
• What are the problems and opportunities
associated with infinite gain?
• First, we need a model.

Ideal Op-Amp Continued
• Bandwidth is also infinite. Thus, an ideal
op-amp works the same at all
frequencies.

Feedback
• Like most engineered systems, the opamp uses feedback to realize its
potential value.
• Feedback comes in two forms
Positive Feedback
Negative Feedback
• It seems like positive feedback might be
best, but negative feedback makes the
op-amp work

Feedback Examples
From a Zoology Course
• You just ate a Krispy Kreme donut and your
blood glucose levels are on the rise. In
response to this rise, the pancreas is
releasing insulin into the blood stream
stimulating storage of glucose. As a result,
blood glucose levels begin to drop. Is this an
example of positive or negative feedback?
• A woman is in labor, pressure receptors in
the birth canal send messages to her brain
that result in increased contraction of the
uterus and increased pressure in the birth
canal. Is this positive or negative feedback?

Feedback: Valve Example
• As the water nears the specified level, the
valve is closed.
• Negative feedback is most commonly used to
control systems.

Golden Rules for Op-Amps
• The output attempts to do whatever is
necessary to make the voltage
difference between the two inputs zero.
(Negative Feedback is Required)
• The inputs draw no current.

Positive and Negative
Feedback
• Connecting the output to the positive
input is positive feedback
• Connecting the output to the negative
input is negative feedback

Op-Amp Configurations
• Buffer or Voltage Follower
No voltage difference between the output
and the input
Draws no current, so it puts no load on the
source
Used to isolate sources from loads

• Inverting Op-Amp
Current through R1 equals the current
through Rf
No current in the inputs
The voltage at both inputs is zero

Op-Amp Configurations
• Why the minus sign for the current
through Rf?
The convention for Ohm’s Law is that the
current flows from the high voltage to the
low voltage for a resistor
Here the current flows from the low voltage
(ground) to the high voltage (VO)

Op-Amp Configurations
• Inverting Op-Amp Continued
The current through R1 must equal the
current through R2 since there is no current
in the inputs.

currents

Op-Amps: Practical Issues
• Op-Amps require power
741 requires plus and minus 15V
Others may require only positive or both
positive and negative voltages
Output voltage is limited to VCC VOUT VCC
Usually filter capacitors are connected to
power to reduce noise

Engineering Ethics
• Electrical and Computer Engineers do not
usually face immediate ethical issues
involving public health and safety
• System control is one of many exceptions
• From the IEEE Code of Ethics
We agree to accept responsibility in making
engineering decisions consistent with the safety,
health and welfare of the public, and to disclose
promptly factors that might endanger the public or
the environment;
