Operational Amplifier (OP AMP)
Basic and most common circuit building
device. Ideally,
1. No current can enter terminals V+ or V-.
A
Called infinite input impedance.
2. Vout=A(V+ - V-) with A →∞
Vo = (A V + - A V )
3. In a circuit V+ is forced equal to V-. This
-
= A (V+ - V )

is the virtual ground property
4. An opamp needs two voltages to
power it Vcc and -Vee. These are called
the Biases.

VLSI by using epitaxial method.
2. In epitaxial method , entire IC is fabricated on a single crystal
of Si.
3. It is basically a Voltage controlled device or voltage amplifier
or VCVS.
4. Popularly used op-amp is IC-741, maximum power supply is +
15V.

200nA. This value decreases as the matching between the two
input terminals is improved and may reduce down to almost
6nA.

6. Offset Voltage Adjustment Range
• The op-amp has pins 1 and 5 marked as offset null to determine the
offset voltage adjustment range.
• Can be adjusted by connecting a 10K POT. between the pin 1 and pin 5
and the wiper of the port should be connected to the ground.
• By changing the POT value, the output offset voltage can be reduced to
0V without applying any input.
• The range through which the POT is varied to get the input offset
voltage is the offset voltage adjustment range.
• Note:-For a 741 IC, typical value is ±15mV.
Cont.…
7. Input Voltage Range

• The same voltage when applied to both the input terminals, is


called the common mode voltage and the op-amp is said to
have a common mode configuration.

• Note:- The input voltage range for a 741 IC is ±13V. This


indicate that the common mode voltage for a 741 IC can be as
high as +13V and as low as -13V without disturbing the proper
working of the IC.

• CMRR is the ratio of the differential voltage gain to the


common mode voltage gain.

11. Output Voltage Swing
• The output voltage swing of the 741 IC is a 26 volt peak-to-
peak undisturbed as sine wave for ac input signals, for a load
resistance value greater than or equal to 2 kΩ.
• This range shows the values of positive and negative
saturation voltages of op-amp.
• The op-amp voltage swing value will not be greater than the
supply voltage +VCC and –VEE.

13. Output Short Circuit Current
• The op-amp has a short circuit protection built in for a certain
ancient value.
• Nobody would knowingly connect the output of the op-amp
to the ground.
• if something like that is done accidentally, the current flowing
through will have a high value. This is why short circuit
protection is provided.

• Note:-For 741 IC, this value is 25mA. But, for a higher current
the IC will fail.

• Note:-Typical value of supply for 741 IC is 2.8mA.

15. Power Consumption


• For the 741 IC to operate properly, a certain amount of
quiescent power must be consumed by the op-amp and this
power is called power consumption.

• Note:- Typical value is 85mW.


Cont.…
16. Transient Response
• Transient response is a very important factor that is used for selecting an
op-amp in ac applications.
• Transient response along with steady state response constitutes that total
response of a practical network to a given input.
• The response portion where a fixed value is attained right before the
output is called transient response. Once reached, this fixed value remains
at that level and is thus called the steady state. The steady state response
does not depend on time and transient response is time invariant.
• Characteristics of transient response includes rise time and percentage of
overshoot.
• Transient response is inversely proportional to the unity gain bandwidth
of op-amp.
• The bandwidth will be high when the value of rise time is low.
Cont.…
17. Slew Rate (SR)
• Slew Rate is one of the most important parameters for
selecting op-amps for high frequencies.
• SR is the maximum rate of change of output voltage per unit
of time and is expressed in volts per microseconds.
dVO
SR 
dt max imum

• Note:-In the case of the 741 IC the slew rate is 0.5V/µs, which
is very small.
An IDEAL OP AMP
An ideal op amp has the following characteristics:

1. Infinite open-loop voltage gain, AV ≈ ∞.


2. Infinite input resistance, Ri ≈ ∞.
3. Zero output resistance, Ro ≈ 0.
4. Infinite CMRR, ρ =∞
5. The output voltage Vo=0; when Vd = V2-V1 = 0
6. Change of output with respect to input, slew rate = ∞
7. Change in out put voltage with Temp., ∂Vo/∂Vi=0
8. Infinite Bandwidth so that signal ranging from 0 to ∞ Hz to
can be amplified without attenuation
Equivalent Circuit of the Ideal Op Amp
OP-AMP CHARACTERISTICS
1. SUPPLY VOLTAGE:
• Two types of supply are used for op amps, the dual and single
supply. Many op amps, especially older types use a dual supply
(+VS and -VS) often in the 12 to 18V range. This allows a zero
difference between the input terminals to produce a 0V output and
an output signal to swing both positive and negative with respect to
ground.

• Single voltage supplies have grown in popularity with the increase


in portable (battery operated and/or automotive) devices where
dual supplies, using multiple batteries are more expensive to
implement. A zero difference between the input terminals on these
devices will produce an output at half supply, allowing an output
signal to swing between supply and ground.
Cont.…
2. FREQUENCY RESPONSE:
• Frequency response, in the ideal should be infinite, it will
amplify any and all frequencies equally.
• In practical amplifiers this is difficult/impossible to achieve,
and not always desirable, but op amps have extremely wide,
and easily variable bandwidths.
3. OPEN LOOP VOLTAGE GAIN:
• The open loop gain (with no feedback) at very low frequencies
is huge.
• Voltage gain is inversely proportional to the applied
frequency.

6. GAIN BANDWIDTH PRODUCT:
• Gain bandwidth product is always constant.
G*BW=Constant
• Either increase gain or bandwidth, both not possible to
increase at a same time.

distortion called crossover distortion.
• To reduce the crossover distortion can
be implemented by supplying the
constant DC voltage at the base
terminals.
The Output Stage

The Concept of the Virtual Short

• The op-amp with negative feedback forces the two inputs v+ and v- to
have the same voltage, even though no current flows into either input.

 This is sometimes called a “virtual short”

 As long as the op-amp stays in its linear region, the output will
change up or down until v- is almost equal to v+

 If vIN is raised, vOUT will increase just enough so that v- (tapped


from the voltage divider) increases to be equal to v+ (= vIN)

In vIN is lowered, vOUT lowers just enough to make v- = v+

 The negative feedback forces the “virtual short” condition to occur


OP-AMP: COMPARATOR
Vout=A(Vin – Vref)
If Vin>Vref, Vout = +∞ but practically hits +ve
power supply = Vcc
If Vin<Vref, Vout = -∞ but practically hits –ve
A (gain) power supply = -Vee

• Inverting Comparator when the reference voltage apply to the inverting
terminal
• Non Inverting Comparator when the reference voltage apply to the non
inverting terminal

grounded.
• A “feedback network”
composed of resistors R1

between the inverting
input, signal source and
amplifier output node,
respectively.
Inverting amplifier: Voltage gain
• The negative voltage gain
implies that there is a 1800
phase shift between both dc
and sinusoidal input and
output signals.
• The gain magnitude can be
greater than 1 if R2 > R1
• The gain magnitude can be less
than 1 if R1 > R2

“Humming” Noise in Audio Amplifier
• Consider the amplifier below which amplifies an audio signal
from a microphone.
• If the power supply (VCC) is time-varying, it will result in an
additional (undesirable) voltage signal at the output,
perceived as a “humming” noise by the user.
Supply Ripple Rejection

difference will be free of ripple.

nodes, an amplifier that senses a differential signal is
needed.

differential amplifier cannot be in phase; otherwise, the
differential output signal will be zero.

the difference between two
input signals V1 and V2.

amplifier.
• An arrangement of transistors
which allows the difference
between two signals source to
be amplified.

Three possible input signal combination for differential
amplifier:

input while the other is grounded.
• Differential mode – two opposite polarity active signals are
applied to the amplifier.
