Next, we eliminate vn by substituting v1 into the inverting input KCL equation, as follows:

9.11.1 Voltage Characteristics of the Op Amp


In the preceding examples involving the op amp, we did not consider the supply voltage
(shown in Figure 9.29) and that the output voltage of an ideal op amp is constrained to
operate between the supply voltages V and V. If analysis determines v0 is greater than
V, v0 saturates at V. If analysis determines v0 is less than V, v0 saturates at V. The output voltage characteristics are shown in Figure 9.32.

9.12 TIME-VARYING SIGNALS


An alternating current (a-c) or sinusoidal source of 50 or 60 Hz is common throughout
the world as a power source supplying energy for most equipment and other devices.
While most of this chapter has focused on the transient response, when dealing with sinusoidal sources, attention is now focused on the steady-state or forced response. In bioinstrumentation, analysis in the steady-state simplifies the design by focusing only on the steadystate response, which is where the device actually operates. A sinusoidal voltage source is a
time-varying signal given by
vs Vm cosot f

where the voltage is defined by angular frequency (o in radians/s), phase angle (f in


radians or degrees), and peak magnitude (Vm). The period of the sinusoid T is related to
frequency f (Hz or cycles/s) and angular frequency by
