Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp) • Op-amp is the single most important integrated circuit (IC) for analog circuit design; it has been extensively used in circuit design at all levels. • Op-amp is consisted of individual transistors and resistors interconnected on a printed circuit board (PCB) • Op-amp was originally designed to perform mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, differentiation, and integration. • We have learned tools to analyze practical circuits using op-amps !
Op-Amp Models • Op-amp is just a really good voltage amplifier! • Example: LM324 from National Semiconductor • General purpose quad (four in a pack) op-amp. unit: inch Dual Inline Pack (DIP) style package Four identical op-amps in the package IN +: noninverting input IN -: inverting input OUT : output VCC: positive voltage VEE: negative voltage or ground In-Out Voltage Relation: Typically, A0 is between 10,000 and 1,000,000 !
Power Supply and Ground • Op-amp is modeled using a dependent voltage source and resistors voltage source In-Out Voltage Relation: A simple model of op-amp
Effects of Power Supply • Each op-amp has minimum and maximum supply ranges over which the op-amp is guaranteed to function • For proper operation, the input and output voltages are limited to no more than the supply voltages(VCC, VEE). • Inputs and output are called rail-to-rail, if the inputs and output can reach within a few dozen millivolts of the supplies. • An op-amp is said to be in saturation, • If an increase in the input voltage may not yield a corresponding increase in the output voltage
Rail-to-rail output voltage Saturation and Rail-to-Rail In-Out Voltage Relation: PA03
Unity Gain Buffer Circuit Voltage Gain: That’s why it’s called Unity Gain Buffer, or Voltage Follower. PERFORMANCE OF REAL OP-AMPS
Equivalent resistance of voltage source Op-amp Model Equivalent load resistance What should be the values for Voltage Gain: To achieve large overall gain independent of ideally (Commercial op-amps do have this tendency !)
Where does the current come from? Analyze unity gain buffer using ideal model
CONNECTION WITHOUT BUFFER CONNECTION WITH BUFFER does not consume source energy consume source energy load load driving circuit driving circuit Why use unity gain buffer? • Unity gain buffer is buffer amplifier • Unity gain buffer isolates driving circuits from load circuits, which is called buffering • The load current (or energy) comes from op-amp power supply, which have plenty of current (or energy) output capacity, rather than the driving circuit.
Op-Amp Circuit Analysis • General rule for op-amp circuit analysis • Use the ideal op-amp model conditions • Write nodal equations at the op-amp input terminals
Example 4.2: Basic inverting op-amp configuration Determine gain using both non-ideal model and ideal model Equivalent Note: the ground can all be connected to a single node.
3.Draw components of linear op-amp Using non-ideal op-amp model: • Identify op-amp nodes 4. Redraw as needed 2. Redraw the circuit cutting out the op-amp
Using ideal op-amp model: • From now on, unless otherwise stated, we will use the ideal op-amp model to analyze circuits containing op-amp. Ideal op-amp model: • General rule for op-amp circuit analysis • Use the ideal op-amp model conditions • Write nodal equations at the op-amp input terminals
