OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER

An operational amplifier, or op-amp, is a very high gain


differential amplifier with high input impedance and low output
impedance. Typical uses of the operational amplifier are to
provide voltage amplitude changes (amplitude and polarity),
oscillators, filter circuits, and many types of instrumentation
circuits. An op-amp contains a number of differential amplifier
stages to achieve a very high voltage gain.
Types of
Operation
• Single-Ended Input
• Double-Ended ( Differential) Input
• Double-Ended Output
• Common-Mode Operation
• Common-Mode Rejection

A significant feature of a differential


connection is that the signals that are
opposite at the inputs are highly
amplified, whereas those that are
common to the two inputs are only
slightly amplified—the overall
operation being to amplify the
difference signal while rejecting the
common signal at the two inputs.
Since noise (any unwanted input
signal) is generally common to both
inputs, the differential connection
tends to provide attenuation of this
unwanted input while providing an amplified
output of the difference signal applied to the

CIRCUIT
A number of input signal
combinations are possible:

If an input signal is applied to either


input with the other input connected
to ground, the operation is referred to
as “single-ended.”

If two opposite-polarity input signals


are applied, the operation is referred
to as “double-ended.”

If the same input is applied to both


inputs, the operation is called
“common-mode.”

An AC connection of a differential
amplifier is shown in Fig. 10.12.
Separate input signals are applied
as Vi1 and Vi2 , with separate
outputs resulting as Vo1 and Vo2.
To carry out ac analysis, we redraw
the circuit in Fig. 10.13. Each
transistor is replaced by its ac
equivalent.
