Operational Amplifier • Nearly ideal • High gain • high input impedance • low output impedance • stable • Simple for circuit construction • Goals • Learn basic characteristics of operational amplifier. • Build and characterize amplifier circuits. http://www.uoguelph.ca/~antoon/gadgets/741/741.html http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Bill_Bowden/opamp.htm http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_3/chpt_8/1.html
Pin Configuration • Notch • Counterclockwise numbering • Input • #2 V-; #3 V+ • Output • #6 Vout • Power supply • #4 –VDD; #7 +VCC • #1, #5, offset adjustment
Key Characteristics • Output saturation voltages • Output voltage never surpasses power supply • Linear amplifier • Nonlinear, saturation • Not always bad! • Output impedance limitation • Finite load driving capability • Bandwidth limitation - Slew rate • Finite speed or response time • Gain dependent http://www.amplifier.cd/Tutorial/Slew_Rate/SlewRate.htm • Offset compensation • Cascading
Circuit • Two Input Nodes What will happen if the output is connected to the non-inverting input?
Dual Power Supply • Set voltages, Limit current Earth Ground Do NOT use -15 to pin 4 +15 to pin 7 Ground Reference Don’t let it dangle
Open Loop • R2 = , R1 = 0 • Ground non-inverting input • Signal applied to inverting input • Differential gain > 10000 • Driven into saturation • Measure the output impedance with a load resistor • Output reduced by 2
Waveform Vsat
Unit Gain Amplifier • Connect output to inverting input • Do not ground the inverting input • Signal applied to non-inverting input • Gain = 1 • How fast can the output change? • Slew rate, V / t; around 0.6 V/sec • Are inverting and non-inverting input ports symmetric? What will happen when there is a feedback from output to non-inverting input?
Waveform Slew Rate
Inverting Amplifier • Feedback R2 • Ground pin 3 • Virtual ground at pin 2 • Input impedance > R1, R2 • Output impedance < R1, R2 • Av = - R2 / R1
Frequency Response • Gain vs. frequency plot • Amplify to DC • -3dB frequency • Higher gain, less bandwidth • Gain bandwidth product
Non-Ideal Characteristics • Offset • DC input is zero but output is not zero • Adjust using pins 1 and 5
Non-Ideal Characteristics • Finite input impedance • Leakage current • Symmetric input • Common mode rejection ratio • Differential input • Gain • Common input • No gain http://www.mines.edu/Academic/courses/physics/phgn217/lab8/lect13/sld001.htm
Measurements • Saturation voltages • Output impedance • Slew rate • Gain vs frequency • Bandwidth and gain correlation • In cascaded amplifiers, how to optimize the bandwidth? • Output offset before and after adjustment
Variations of Op Amp Circuit • Non-inverting amplifier

Review • Pin assignments • Inverting input versus non-inverting input • Typical saturation voltage, output impedance, and slew rate • How to build an inverting amplifier? • How to adjust the gain? • Is the bandwidth gain dependent? • Gain bandwidth product
