Operational mplifiers Universal importance (e.g. amplification from microphone to loudspeakers) General terminal configuration with bias ECE 442 Jose Schutt ine 2
Operational mplifiers Gain= v ( v v ) out 2 Common configuration with bias implied but not shown Signaling. Differential input stage 2. Difference between input is amplified ECE 442 Jose Schutt ine 3
Operational mplifiers Ideal Op mp. Infinite input impedance 2. Zero output impedance 3. Infinite open-loop gain inf 4. Infinite CM or zero common-mode gain 5. Infinite bandwidth lso, op amps are dc (or direct coupled) amplifiers since they are expected to amplify signals with frequency as low as DC. ECE 442 Jose Schutt ine 4
Differential & Common-Mode Signals - Differential input signal v ID =v 2 -v - Common-mode input signal v ICm =0.5(v +v 2 ) vid v vicm 2 vid v2 vicm 2 ECE 442 Jose Schutt ine 5
Operational mplifiers Ideally, v ICM should be zero to achieve high CM. mplifier will amplify the difference between the two input signals ECE 442 Jose Schutt ine 6
Practical Considerations The output voltage swing of an op amp is limited by the DC power supply. Since op amp can exhibit high gain, power supply voltage fluctuations must be minimized use decoupling capacitors from power supply ECE 442 Jose Schutt ine 7
Inverting Configuration Terminal 2 is tied to ground We introduce (or 2 ) to reduce gain (from inf) When is connected to terminal, we talk about negative feedback. If is tied to terminal 2, we have positive feedback ECE 442 Jose Schutt ine 8

Inverting Configuration Closed-Loop gain v v o I G Observe that the closed-loop gain is the ratio of external components we can make the closed-loop as accurate as we want. Gain is smaller but more accurate. ECE 442 Jose Schutt ine
We assumed that the OP-amp was ideal. If we assume that the gain is finite = Inverting Configuration v v v v v / 2 o o i v ( v / ) v v / in o in o ECE 442 Jose Schutt ine 2

Inverting Configuration Since the reflected impedance is so small, v is thus very small and the inverting terminal is said to be a virtual ground in this configuration We see that as, G as, 0 Note: To minimize the closed-loop gain (G) on the value of the open-loop gain (), make + / << ECE 442 Jose Schutt ine 5

requency esponse Non-Inverting Midband voltage gain is reduced from MBoa to MBni The upper 3-dB frequency will be greater than that of the op amp by the same factor of gain reduction. If the low-frequency gain of the op amp is MBoa = 200,000 and with resistors MBni = 40, the gain is reduced by a factor of 5,000.

Example Design an amplifier to couple a microphone to a resistive load. The microphone generates a peak output of 50 mv for a typical voice input level and has a 0-k output impedance. The output voltage across the 2-k load is to have a peak value of 0 V. the bandwidth of the voltage gain should be at least 40 khz. If the GBW of the op amp used is 30 6 Hz, calculate the bandwidth of the final design The midband voltage gain is: f 2ni MBni 0 MBo 200 0.05 or a single noninverting stage with this gain, the upper corner frequency is: 6 GBWni GBWoa 30 5 khz 200 MBni ECE 442 Jose Schutt ine 34
