In tho operational amplifier, Pin 1 isthe positive input and Pin 2is the negative input. Pin 4is the control pin which determines the cifferential current. Pin 6 is the output pin which determines the open loop gain using tho external resistor and the contro! curren. This section describes the circutt operation of this op- rational ampli. ‘Transistors Qis and Qrs form the differential input for the operational amplifier, while transistors Q; to Qu: are composed of the current mirror circuits. The currant ‘mirror absorbs current from the ciferential input com- ‘mon emitter which Is equal to the control current flow- Ing into the Pin 4 control pin. ifthe citfrential input Vn = Dat this point, then 1/2 Ic is supplied to the Qra and x collectors and the other half passes through the ‘current mirors (3) and (4). The output of curent mitror (@} which is the differential activo load is inverted by Current mirror (6), and is balanced withthe output of ‘current mirror (4), also an active load. the differential input changes, the current balance ‘changes. The output currentis on Pin 6. An output voltage can be generated using an external resistance, For the open loop gain ofthis operational amplifier, i ‘the Pin 4 control current is ICONTROL and the Pin 6 extemal resistance is Re, then Ay) =gn"Ro= To eliminate the distortion created by the diferentiain- ‘put, the input bias Giode and its bias circult consist of the following : bias diodes D; and De, current mirrors (1) and (2), andthe Pin 3 bias pin current mirror tat consists of the transistors Q: to Qe and the resistance Ri, This cirout eliminates the cistotion that occurs as ‘result of using the differentia input open loop. In the buffer crcult, Pin 7s the butter input and Pin Bis the buffer output Inthe butfor circu, the emitter follower consists of the ‘active load of the NPN transistor, Qv, and its active load, Ow. The Vr difference created by the emitter fot lower is eliminated by the emitter follower which con- sists ofthe PNP transistor Qe and resistor Pe. Also, the ‘gain is determined by the rail ofthe signal source re- sistance Rx and the diode impedance. 193 ‘Opetetonal ameities/ Comparators nm ‘tage cont opsratonal amplesStandard ICs BA6110/BA6110FS Si @ Attachments (pin numbers are or tho BAS110) (1) Positive input (Pin 1) This is the differentia! positive input pin. To minimize the cistorion due tothe diode bias, an input resistor is ‘connected in series wit the signal source. By increas- ing the input resistance, distortion is minimized.
