2 IDEAL Op Amp Characteristics An Operational Amplifier (OP-AMP) is a building block for many types of analog circuits. The Op Amp circuit symbol shows two inputs and one output. The input with the - sign is referred to as the inverting input, and the input with the sign is the non-inverting input. The characteristics of an op-amp circuit are defined by the feedback circuit. The op amp is a voltage difference amplifier that is, the voltage level on the output is dependent on the difference between the two inputs. Inverting Input _ Output Non-inverting Input Figure 3.1 Op Amp Circuit Symbol An IDEAL op amp has IDEAL characteristics (either infinite or zero) as listed below.

3 Input Offset oltage ( io ). Input offset voltage is the dc voltage which must be applied between the input terminals through two equal resistances to force the quiescent dc output to zero or other specified level. Input Bias Current (I B-, I B ) The input bias currents are the currents flowing into the inverting (-) and non-inverting () terminals of an operational amplifier. Input Offset Current (I io ) The input offset current is the algebraic sum of the currents entering into the input terminals of a differential input amplifier. I io = I B - I B- Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR). The common mode rejection ratio is the ratio of the change in input common mode voltage to the resulting change in the input offset voltage. CMRR is usually expressed in decibels. CMRR 20log cm io Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR). The power supply rejection ratio is the ratio of the change in input offset voltage, io to the corresponding change in power supply voltage usually expressed in micro volts per volt or db. io PSRR cc oltage Gain (Avo). The voltage gain (open loop) is the ratio of the change in the output voltage to the differential change in the input voltage. The input not connected to the signal source is at zero potential. Output oltage Swing (OP). The maximum output voltage swing that can be achieved for a specified load without causing voltage limiting. 3-3

4 Understanding Op Amp DC Parameters A real op amp has non-ideal features which are somewhat processdependent. Op amp characteristics are tested as to be within an acceptable range of a specified parameter. A simple model of a real op amp includes several sources of error. I B, I B- (input bias currents) act as a series current sources. io (input offset voltage) acts as a series voltage source. Zdiff (differential impedance) is the effective impedance between inputs. ZCm (common mode impedance) is the effective impedance between the inputs and ground. Ro (output impedance) is added in series with the output.

5 Op Amp Rules of the Road First, because of the op amp s very high input impedance, the current flowing into or out of the op amp s input terminals is extremely small. This current is usually negligible compared to conventional op amp circuit currents and is ignored without controversy. Secondly, since the output of the op amp circuit is based on the difference between the two inputs, it follows that the output will be stable when the two inputs are equal. An op amp circuit with negative feedback will drive the output in such a way that the inputs are at the same potential. This behavior is often called a virtual short because the two input terminals have the same potential even though their currents are completely decoupled. There two properties are essential to understanding op amp circuits: 1. Zero input (terminal) current 2. irtual (input terminal) short Basic Op Amp Configurations Inverting Amplifier 1.0 volt 1K _ 10K volt Rf Gain = - Ri Figure 3.12 Inverting Amplifier Inverting Amplifier Properties Allows negative gain factors (less than unity). Input impedance is a co-factor of the feedback ratio. 3-5

For example, in order to measure an op amp s input 3-6

7 Op Amp Test Circuits voltage offset, io, one might consider the following test circuit. In theory, a voltmeter placed across the input terminals should read io. 15 R R2 R3 10k -15 Figure 3.15 Theoretical Op Amp Test Circuit This circuit and approach does not work because the voltmeter s impedance is small or about the same as that of the op amp itself. Idealyy, the meter s impedance should be several orders of magnitude greater than that of the Device Under Test (DUT). In this case, placing the meter across the op amp s input terminal s causes significant loading, yielding an unacceptable measurement. A more realistic DC test circuit for op amps places the DUT within the feedback circuit of the control amplifier A1. There is no feedback 3-7

8 Op Amp Test Circuits circuit for the DUT, resulting in an effective open loop configuration. Performance of the device is evaluated by measuring and / or adjusting parameters on the control amplifier. The error of the DUT is illustrated in Figure 3.15A by voltage source s1. R2 50k 10.00n DC s1 1m - R R1A DUT OP AMP DC TEST CIRCUIT A A DC Figure 3.16A Practical Op Amp Test Circuit (first level) The first iteration of the DC test circuit of Figure 3.15A shows a gain of A v The 1m into R2 generates a current flow of A (1 / 50 ). 1m 50 R R A In order to sink 20.0A of current across R1, the control amplifier, A1, must generate a voltage level of olts ( -1v / 50k =20.0uA). 1 50K 20uA Suppose the open-loop gain of A1 is known to be 100 million, or

9 Op Amp Test Circuit A (continued) In order to generate an output level of 1 volt, the A1 s differential input voltage must be 1 / 10 8 = 10 nanovolts. A 1 10 o o id vo 10 8 id A vo n Some observations: 1. The Amplifier A1 will generate an output level so the current flowing through R1 is equal to the current flowing through R2. 2. The input voltage level to Amplifier A1 is equal to the (Output oltage of A1) / (Open-loop Gain of A1) 3. The control Amplifier, A1, must be well characterized. In particular, the open-loop gain of A1 must be accurately determined beforehand. 4. In general, the more IDEAL the control Amplifier is, the better the accuracy of the test results of this test circuit. The second iteration of the test circuit adds a summing junction of two 100K resistors, R3 and R4, at the inverting input of the control amplifier A1. (Figure 3.16) Now instead of amplifier A1 responding to the input of the DUT, the 3-9

10 Op Amp Test Circuit B DUT is responding to the input of A1. R k DC R R1B 100k R3 R4 100k - s1 1.0 Figure 3.16B Op Amp Test Circuit with oltage Sum Node (second level) The 1 input level applied to R3 generates a current of 10uA. Since the current cannot flow into A1, it must flow into R4. In order to generate a current flow of -10A through resistor R4, the output of the DUT must provide a voltage level equal to R4 * 10a = -1. Observations: 1. By forcing a voltage into a summing junction, the DUT is forced to generate an equal and opposite output level. 3-10

11 Op Amp Test Circuit B (continued) 2. The 1 of source s1 and its -1 reflection at the DUT output is not directly useful for measuring input offset voltage. 3. The technique of forcing the DUT to respond with any reasonable voltage level (-s1) is extremely useful for testing many op amp characteristics including io. 4. For determining the actual input offset voltage, s1 is set to 0 as presented and discussed below. Input Offset oltage ( IO ) is the DC voltage which must be applied between the two input pins through two equal resistors, to force the quiescent DC output to zero volts (or other specified level). Measuring Input Offset oltage The test circuit forces the output of the DUT to 0.0 volts via the s1 level applied to the junction of R3 and R4. Under these conditions, the DUT s differential input voltage, id DUT, is indeed DUT s input offset voltage, io. In this example, the DUT must have an input offset voltage of 8.75u to achieve an output level of 0.0 volts. To force the DUT input to 8.75u, the output of Amplifier A1 must generate a voltage level that is sufficient to drive the simple voltage-divider network of R2 and R1. The voltage gain, A v, of this resistor network is equal to (R2/R1) 1, or 1001 in this example. o R 1 R1 o R Av 1 R R io 2 io 2 1 The output of control amplifier A1 for this test is recorded as E0. The DUT output voltage is therefore equal to the E0 level / To find the DUT offset voltage, the output of Amplifier A1 is divided by

13 Measuring oltage Gain A vo o id open loop The oltage Gain test is usually performed with a specified load resistance (RL) on the output of the DUT. Supply s1 is set to a specified voltage. To null the R4/R5 junction, the control amplifier A1 will cause the DUT output to comply to a level that is equal and opposite to the voltage on s1. Example: Step One: The test circuit forces the output of the DUT to 0.0 volts via the s1 level applied to the junction of R3 and R4.

The output of M2 is measured 30.9m. (E8) The change in the A1 output voltage is: o E E8 E7 Change in input voltage corresponding to the output level change: E8 id E7 1 R2 / R1 With E8 = 30.9m, E7 = 10.75m, R2=49.9k and R1= m 10.75m id The open-loop voltage gain, A vo, being the ratio of the output change to input change: 10 0 A vo 496.3k / The common mode rejection ratio is the ratio of the change in input common mode voltage to the resulting change in the input offset voltage. CMRR is usually expressed in decibels: 3-14

15 Measuring Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR): where and CMRR 20log io icm _ cm icm = change in common-mode input voltage io _ cm = change in input offset voltage under common-mode conditions The first CMRR test circuit applies a change common-mode input voltage directly by changing the power supply level driving both DUT input pins via the small input resistors. This circuit differs from the following circuit mainly in the fact that it requires an additional poiwer supply. Note that forcing the DUT output to 0 causes the effective DUT input voltage to be, by definition, the input offset voltage under common-mode conditions. The second CMRR test circuit applies an effective change common mode input voltage by changing the power supply levels and the DUT output level, relative to the DUT input pins. Compared with the first CMRR test circuit, this circuit has the advantage of not requiring an additional power supply. This technique was initially applied due to the limited number of independent voltage sources for early ATE systems. The second CMRR test circuit is shown under two distinct commonmode conditions: 3-15

Apply 15, -15 and 0 to the DUT power pin, the DUT power pin, and s1, respectively, throughout the entire CMRR measurement. 1. Apply 10.0 to the DUT via the input resistors. 2.

PSRR is expressed as microvolts per volt (u/), or as a db ratio. 3-18

Unfortunately, both expressions for PSRR are cited commonly in device specifications. The following test circuit and calculation focuses on the Positive PSRR measurement, that is, the DUT s ability to maintain small variations in its output voltage due to significant variations in the DUT s positive power supply voltage. The test process measures the effective input offset voltage for two levels of CC. R k DUT R or 5 R3 100k A m DC 49.9 R1B / -15 R4 100k s Figure 3.22 Positive PSRR Test Circuit 3-19

The output voltage is measured directly on the DUT output pin. The output voltage swing is defined by: OP = E9 - OP = E10. By adding series resistors to the DUT input terminals, a test circuit can be configured to measure the very small currents actually flowing into or out of the op amp s inputs. These currents are the input bias currents, I B and I B-, and the input offset current, I io, which is simply the R k DC R R3 100k A m DC 49.9 R1B -15 R4 100k s Figure 3.23 Output Swing Test - Step One R k DC R R3 100k A m DC 49.9 R1B -15 R4 100k s1-12 Figure 3.24 Output Swing Test Step Two 3-23

This additional voltage may be measured (indirectly) using the same technique as applied for measuring the input offset voltage, io, under four separate cases defined by the position of switches S1 and S2: 1. S1 closed and S2 closed. The inferred input voltage is simply io. 2. S1 opened and S2 closed. The inferred input voltage is io - I B *R3a. 3. S1 closed and S2 opened. The inferred input voltage is io I B- *R3b. 4. S1 opened and S2 opened. The inferred input voltage is io - I B *R3a I B- *R3b. The test method for measuring the bias currents is to determine the effective input offset voltage for each case and isolating the separate components, I B, I B- and I io ( = I B - I B- ), arithmetically. Step One: Measure the voltage E3 with both Switch 1 and 2 closed. This measurement is the baseline, or reference value, with no added serial resistance on the input pins. Series resistors R3A and R3B are 3-24

29 Input Current Calculations Summary and Conclusions additional series resistors are shown in the following figure. Note that the input offset current, I io, although not shown, is -299pA. This negative value simply means that I B < I B- ; in other words, the difference between the input currents causes op amp behavior as if an additional 299pA was flowing into the inverting terminal.

S1 closed and S2 closed. The inferred input voltage is simply io = S1 opened and S2 closed. The inferred input voltage is pA*10k = S1 closed and S2 opened. The inferred input voltage is pA*10k = S1 opened and S2 opened. The inferred input voltage is pA*10k - 831pA*10k = Step Four, although not technically necessary, provides a valuable check of the validity of the results from previous steps. The integrating capacitor method may be used for the measurement of very low input bias currents. The approach relies on the basic relationship of the current to the rate of change of voltage when a capacitor is charged by a constant current. 3-29

30 Integrating Capacitor Test Method for Determining Input Currents i C * Current is equal to capacitance times the change in voltage over the change in time. t The example circuit uses a data sequencer to close both relays K1 and K2 to establish the initial condition. K2 is then opened for ten seconds and then closed, to generate the ramp for the I B- test. After a delay, K1 is opened for ten seconds and then closed, to generate the ramp for the I B test. During the time the relays are open, current flowing into the series input capacitor generates a ramp, which is amplified by the DUT. Since the value of the capacitor is known, the input current can be calculated by measuring the slope of the ramp. 3-30
