Inverting amplifier circuits One of the most basic circuits Voltage gain equals the ratio of the feedback resistance to the input resistance Example circuits include: ac coupled and adjustable bandwidth
ac coupled inverting amplifier f C 1 1 C 2 v in A V = - f 1 f 2 = f unity f 1 +1 L 1 f c1 = 2π1 C 1 1 f c2 = 2πL C 2
Adjustable bandwidth f 1 v in A V B = 1 1 + f - f 1 f 2 = Bf unity f
Noninverting amplifier circuits One of the most basic circuits Advantages include: stable voltage gain, high input impedance, and low output impedance An example circuit is an ac coupled noninverting amplifier

Inverter / noninverter circuit When an input signal drives both inputs, inverting and noninverting amplification result at the same time Total voltage gain equals voltage gain of the inverting channel plus voltage gain of the noninverting channel

Wheatstone bridge circuit +V 1 3 2 4 Transducer
Wheatstone bridge The differential output signal is small. The common-mode output signal is large. Differential amplifiers are a good match. Input transducers convert nonelectrical quantities into an electrical quantity. Examples: photoresistor: light to resistance thermistor: temperature to resistance
Instrumentation amplifiers Differential amplifiers optimized for dc performance Large differential voltage gain High CM Low input offsets Low temperature drift High input impedance

Monolithic instrumentation amplifiers Use laser-trimmed resistors for high performance. esistor G is external and is selected to set the differential gain. esistor G can be split into two devices for guard driving (bootstrapping the cable shield to the common-mode potential).

Single-supply operation Op amps typically use dual supplies. However some applications are better suited to a single supply. Some op amps are optimized for single supply operation.
