Study Notes
Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp)
- Op-amps are amplifiers that perform mathematical operations: summation, difference, integration, differentiation.
- They are voltage-controlled voltage sources (an electronic device which behaves like a voltage controlled voltage source).
- Internally, op-amps consist of multiple transistor amplifier stages.
- Op-amps have three terminals: inverting terminal, non-inverting terminal, output terminal.
- Several op-amps can exist in the same package.
Ideal Op-Amp Characteristics
- Infinite gain
- Infinite input impedance
- Zero output impedance
- Infinite speed
Inverting Configuration
- The inverting amplifier reverses the input signal's polarity while amplifying it.
- The relationship between input voltage (vi) and output voltage (vo) is given by: vo = - (Rf/R1)vi
Example Calculations
- Specific examples demonstrating calculation of output voltage (vo) and current (i) in inverting op-amp circuits are provided. Numerical values and resistor values are given in the examples.
Summing Amplifier
- A summing amplifier combines several inputs; the output is the weighted sum of the inputs.
- Applying KCL at the input node shows the relationship between inputs and output: vo = -( (Rf/R1)v1 + (Rf/R2)v2 + (Rf/R3)v3 ...)
- This configuration can handle multiple inputs simultaneously.
Homework Problems
- Questions related to ideal op-amp characteristics, calculating op-amp circuit output, and current calculation through resistors within the circuit are included. Circuit diagrams are provided for these problems.
