When you are talking about voltage gain you calculate the dB to 20 × log ( VV ), when you are
out

Pout
talking about power gain, then it's 1 0 ×log ( )P¿
. They are essentially the same thing. he

difference is that the voltage gain calculation assumes that R is the same which leads to the
current, II being the same, which is not always the case. So that's why the power equation is still
there.

And here's why!

V2
P=V×Iand I= VR, if you replace the II in the first equation you get P=
R
Pout
So the original equation for power gain is 1 0 ×log ( )
P¿
, which is the same as:

V 2out
1 0 ×log
R
()
V 2¿
R

The R cancel each other out. So you get:

V 2out
1 0 ×log ( )
V 2¿

And that can be rewritten like this:

And this is a logarithmic function, which means we can put the exponent in front of the
logarithm.

And that leaves us with the other equation, which is the same thing.

1. Explain the decibel concept in the op-amp!

The logarithm of the amplification factor (multiplied by 20) is expressed in units of
decibels (dB). For example, for an op-amp with an open gain of 100,000x (105x), the decibel
notation will be as follows.

20log10 (105) = 100 [dB]

While the decibel is a unit that is often used as a scale of gain in electronic circuits such as in the
Op-Amp itself.

2. What is the Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR), and what is its function?

The Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) indicates the ability of a differential amplifier
to suppress signals common to the two inputs. Desired signals should appear on only one input
or with opposite polarities on both inputs. These desired signals are amplified and appear on the
outputs. Unwanted signals (noise) appearing with the same polarity on both input lines are
ideally cancelled by the differential amplifier as these amplifiers are used as a means of
suppressing common-mode signals. The measure of an amplifier’s ability to reject noise is the
CMRR. The ideal differential amplifier provides a very high gain for desired signals (single-
ended or differential) and zero gain for common-mode signals.
 3. What is the Gain bandwidth product, and what is its function?
The gain bandwidth product, GBW, is defined as the product of the open loop voltage gain
and the frequency at which it is measured. GBW is expressed in units of hertz.The GBW is
constant for voltage feedback amplifiers. It does not have much meaning for current feedback
amplifiers, because there is no linear relationship between gain and bandwidth. When an op amp
is selected for a specific application, both the bandwidth and the slew rate should be taken into
account (along with other factors, including power consumption, distortion, and price).
