Operational Amplifiers (OpAmps) and Comparators Signal Conditioning, Buffering, Etc.
Operational Amplifier Difference Amplifier V+ > V-then the output is driven in the Positive direction V- > V+ then the output is driven in the Negative direction
How do we use Op-Amps then? Negative Feedback
The Golden Rules: Apply only when the op-amp is operated: Within its listed specifications In Negative Feedback 1) The Inputs Draw no Current 2) The inverting and Non-inverting inputs remain at the same voltage
The Golden Rules: Apply only when the op-amp is operated:
Vin True Source Resistance Perceived Vin
What Happens to the output if we tie the two inputs together?
Does that fix the bias current problem? Not Quite The two bias currents are not exactly equal This is the Input Offset Current
The Importance of Test Conditions “RL = 2kW”
What is the minimum values for R1 & R2 if Vout is driving a 10kW load and we want to achieve a 3.3V output? LM324
Without With
Inverting Comparator Design Procedure Trip point at 1.5V, 0.25V Hysterisis
How does this circuit Behave? R1=3kW, R2=R3=1KWVin sweeps from 0-5V
How about this one? Vin = 5 to -5V Sin What are the thresholds?
