Numerical Methods

1. Create a case study on your field of work with the application of Numerical Methods.

One of my projects is getting involved with the AD8392a. An operational amplifier with four
channels. The features are the low power consumption and high output current. This is mostly used in
the ADSL line drivers systems. See snippet below for the data sheet of the device.
 In order to fully understand the device, you have to dig deep into research. Be able to get as
many data as possible. This way, you will be knowledgeable with the behavior of the device which can
give you an edge in your project. The theory of operation is the basic steps which I then decided to
analyze the formula by the data through my project and with the specifications given on the data
sheet.

Given:

R¿ =50 ohms
R F=2000 ohms

V0 T z (S )
=G x
V¿ T Z ( S ) +G x R¿ + R F

T z (S) V0
f ( Av)=G x −
T Z ( S )+G x R ¿ + R F V ¿

Actual Value = 180.9753

Using Regula Falsi or False Method, I’ve come up with this solution.
 Tz(S) f(Av)
0 -0.25
150 -0.040697674
300 0.141304348
450 0.301020408

150 ( 0.1413 )−300 (−0.0406)

Xi=
( 0.1413 )−(−0.0406)

1st iteration: Xi = 183.4799

f(h) = .00209
150 ( .00209 )−183.4799(−0.0406)
Xi=
( 0.00209 )−(−0.0406)

2nd iteration: Xi = 181.8408

f(h) = .00002850

εa= |180.9753−181.8408
180.9753 |x 100 %=0.4782 %
I have come up with an error of .4782% which is in satisfactorily. This device is an used in
communications where noise is a large factor in having mean shift deviation that would give
undesired results. I can conclude that the approximate value having .47% error is close enough that
would be plausible. Although strict quality should be followed, I would recommend to work in a
controlled temperature as this also affects your testing of data.

Thank you Engr Conrad Monzon for the whole semester of learnings and guidance. Your
subject has truly opened my views in analyzing the data more thoroughly. – John Michael Fajardo
