Study Notes
Op-Amp Characteristics
- High input impedance is a characteristic of an op-amp.
- Low power consumption is not necessarily a characteristic of an op-amp.
- Low output impedance is a characteristic of an op-amp.
- High gain is a characteristic of an op-amp.
Negative Feedback
- When negative feedback is used, the gain-bandwidth product of an op-amp decreases.
Op-Amp Parameters
- Input offset voltage is determined by the op-amp and the power supply voltage.
- Input bias current is determined by the op-amp and the power supply voltage.
- Input offset current is determined by the op-amp and the power supply voltage.
- Maximum output voltage swing is determined by the op-amp and the power supply voltage.
Op-Amp Configuration
- An op-amp has two inputs and one output.
Integrator and Differentiator
- The output of an integrator is proportional to the RC time constant and the rate at which the input is changing.
- In an ideal integrator, when a constant positive input voltage in the form of a step or pulse is applied, the output is a ramp that increases positively until the op-amp saturates at its maximum positive level.
Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA)
- An OTA is basically a voltage-to-current amplifier.
Inverting Amplifier
- In an inverting amplifier, the output is 180° out of phase with the input.
Specialized Amplifiers
- An instrumentation amplifier is used for amplifying small signals in a noisy environment.
- A log and antilog amplifier is used for compression of large dynamic range signals.
- An isolation amplifier is used for isolating signals.
Log and Antilog Amplifiers
- A log amplifier is configured with a diode on the feedback and a resistor on the input.
Filters
- A band-pass filter has its bandwidth equal to its cutoff frequency.
- A low-pass filter has one pass band.
- A high-pass filter has one pass band.
- A band-stop filter has two stop bands.
Oscillators
- The primary trigger for oscillation is obtained from noise voltage.
- In a phase-shift oscillator, the voltage divider in the negative feedback loop sets the gain to make up for the loss of the feedback network.
- An op-amp integrator can be used as the basis for a triangle-wave oscillator.
MOSFET Operation
- A pMOS controls the current conduction between the source and the drain, using the potential difference applied at the gate voltage as a control variable.
- When there is a high input, a pMOS is turned off.
