Lecture 8: Op Amps and CircuitsNilsson 5.1-5.6 ENG17 (Sec. 1): Circuits I Summer 1 2014 July 3, 2014
Overview • Usage • Op Amp Overview • Fundamental Operation • Basic Op Amp Circuit • Amplifier Circuits
Usage: Strain Gauge • Measure strain by measuring change in resistance • Problem: hard to measure tiny resistance change
How to Measure • Measure voltage across Wheatstone bridge • Voltage still a small quantity • …Use an Op Amp to amplify the voltage! Op Amp = Operational Amplifier Indicates potential to perform math operations Indicates potential to amplify input signals
Overview • Usage • Op Amp Overview • Fundamental Operation • Basic Op Amp Circuit • Amplifier Circuits

Terminal Voltage / Current Follows the Node-Voltage Setup All currents set up as going into the “black box”
Overview • Usage • Op Amp Overview • Fundamental Operation • Basic Op Amp Circuit • Amplifier Circuits
Voltage Transfer Characteristic A = gain (multiplying constant) Use “negative feedback” to stay in linear region
