Applications of Operational AmplifierIn Biological Signals and Systems • The three major operations done on biological signals using Op-Amp: • Amplifications and Attenuations • DC offsetting: add or subtract a DC • Filtering:Shape signal’s frequency content
Ideal Op-Amp Most bioelectric signals are small and require amplifications Figure 3.1 Op-amp equivalent circuit.The two inputs are 1 and 2. A differential voltage between them causes current flow through the differential resistance Rd. The differential voltage is multiplied by A, the gain of the op amp, to generate the output-voltage source. Any current flowing to the output terminal vo must pass through the output resistance Ro.
Inside the Op-Amp (IC-chip) 20 transistors 11 resistors 1 capacitor
Ideal Characteristics 1- A = (gain is infinity) 2- Vo = 0, when v1 = v2 (no offset voltage) 3- Rd = (input impedance is infinity) 4- Ro = 0 (output impedance is zero) 5- Bandwidth = (no frequency response limitations) and no phase shift
Two Basic Rules Rule 1 When the op-amp output is in its linear range, the two input terminals are at the same voltage. Rule 2 No current flows into or out of either input terminal of the op amp.

Example 3.1 The output of a biopotential preamplifier that measures the electro-oculogram is an undesired dc voltage of ±5 V due to electrode half-cell potentials, with a desired signal of ±1 Vsuperimposed. Design a circuit that will balance the dc voltage to zero and provide a gain of -10 for the desired signal without saturating the op amp. +10 Rf Ri i 100 kW 10 kW i - i + b /2 +15V Rb o 0 Voltage, V 20 kW Time 5 kW + v b -15 V -10 o (a) (b)

Integrators for f < fc A large resistor Rf is used to prevent saturation
Integrators Figure 3.9 A three-mode integrator With S1 open and S2 closed, the dc circuit behaves as an inverting amplifier. Thus o = ic and o can be set to any desired initial conduction. With S1 closed and S2 open, the circuit integrates. With both switches open, the circuit holds o constant, making possible a leisurely readout.
