14 Comparators contd. Applications Over-temperature sensing circuit R 1 is a thermistor with a negative temperature coefficient Its resistance decreases as the temperature increases. R 2 is set to a value equivalent to the thermistor resistance at the critical temperature When R 1 is higher than R 2, the output of the op-amp is at negative saturation value When R 1 is equal to or less than R 2, the output is at positive saturation value Q 1 is therefore turned on and the alarm is activated 14

24 The ideal integrator Integrators and Differentiators The op-amp integrator The charge on a capacitor is given by Q = I c t Also, Q = C C This results in C = I C C t This is a line with slope I C /C But hold on! Is the voltage of the capacitor linear? NO. Because the current is decreased when the capacitor voltage increases. The voltage can be linear iff the current is fixed constant This what exactly happens in the op-amp integrator circuit 24

27 Integrators and Differentiators The op-amp integrator contd. The practical integrator The gain of the ideal integrator at DC is the open-loop gain (capacitor is open) Therefore, at DC any imbalance due to the bias current leads to saturation at the output A solution is to add a resistor in parallel with the capacitor R f is much larger than R i The gain when the capacitor is open is defined by R f and R i Also, R c can be added to reduce the effect of the bias current 27
