Op Amps • Op Amp is short for operational amplifier • Amplifiers provide gains in voltage or current • Op amps can convert current to voltage EEE 202
Applications of Op Amps • Op amps can be configured in many different ways using resistors and other components • Most configurations use feedback • Op amps can provide a buffer between two circuits • Op amps can be used to implement integrators and differentiators • Lowpass and bandpass filters EEE 202
+ – The Op Amp Symbol High Supply Non-inverting input Output Inverting input Ground Low Supply EEE 202
v+ Non-inverting input + vo Rin + – Inverting input – A(v+ – v–) v– The Op Amp Model • An operational amplifier is modeled as a voltage-controlled voltage source. EEE 202
Typical Op Amp: The input resistance (impedance) Rin is very large (practically infinite). The voltage gain A is very large (practically infinite). Ideal Op Amp: The input resistance is infinite. The gain is infinite. The op amp is in a negative feedback configuration. Typical vs. Ideal Op Amps EEE 202
Consequences of the Ideal • Infinite input resistance means the current into the inverting (–) input is zero: i– = 0 • Infinite gain means the difference between v+ and v– is zero: v+–v– = 0 EEE 202
The Basic Inverting Amplifier R2 R1 – + – + + Vin Vout – EEE 202
R2 Vout i2 R1 Vin V– – i1 i– Solving the Amplifier Circuit Apply KCL at the inverting (–) input: i1 + i2 + i–=0 EEE 202
From KCL Thus, the amplifier gain is Solve for Vout EEE 202
Recap • The ideal op-amp model leads to the following conditions: i– = 0 = i+ v+ = v– • These conditions are used, along with KCL and other analysis techniques (e.g., nodal), to solve for the output voltage in terms of the input(s) EEE 202
Where is the Feedback? R2 R1 – + – + + Vin Vout – EEE 202
Review • To solve an op-amp circuit, we usually apply KCL at one or both of the inputs • We then invoke the consequences of the ideal model • The op amp will provide whatever output voltage is necessary to make both input voltages equal • We solve for the op-amp output voltage EEE 202
The Non-Inverting Amplifier + + – + – vin vout R2 R1 – EEE 202
+ + – + – i– vin vout i1 i2 R2 R1 – KCL at the Inverting Input EEE 202
Solve for vout • Hence, the non-inverting amplifier has a gained output (> unity) relative to the resistance ratio EEE 202
A Mixer Circuit R1 Rf + – R2 v1 – + – + + v2 vout – EEE 202
R1 Rf i1 if + – R2 v1 i2 – i– + – + + v2 vout – KCL at the Inverting Input EEE 202
Solve for vout • So, the mixer circuit output is a (negative) combination of the input voltages EEE 202
