What is an Op-Amp
 Low cost integrating circuit consisting of:
 Transistors
 Resistors
 Capacitors
 Able to amplify a signal due to an external
power supply
 Name derives from its use to perform
operations on a signal.
Applications of Op-Amps
 Simple Amplifiers
 Summers
 Comparators
 Integrators
 Differentiators
 Active Filters
 Analog to Digital Converters
Symbol for an Op-Amp

 Infinite input impedance


 I+ = I- = 0
 Infinite gain
 V+ = V-
 Zero output impedance
 Output voltage is independent of output current

Summing Circuits
• Used to add analog signals
• Voltage averaging function into
summing function

Calculate closed loop gain for each input


 Rf  Rf  Rf
ACL1  ACL1  ACL1 
R1 R2 R3

Rf Rf Rf
Vo  Vin  ACLn Vo  V1   V2   V3 
R1 R2 R3

If all resistors are equal in value: Vo  V1  V2  V3 


Difference Circuit
• Used to subtract analog
signals
• Output signal is proportional
to difference between two
inputs

V 2  R3  R1  R4 V1 R3
Vout  
( R4  R2 ) R1 R1

If all resistors are equal: Vout  V2  V1


Integrating Circuit • Replace feedback resistor of
inverting op-amp with capacitor
• A constant input signal generates
a certain rate of change in output
voltage
• Smoothes signals over time
Differentiating Circuit
• Input resistor of inverting op-amp
is replaced with a capacitor
• Signal processing method which
accentuates noise over time
• Output signal is scaled derivative
of input signal
Filters

 Low Pass Filters


 High Pass Filters
 Band Pass Filters
Low Pass Filter
• Used to filter out signals above a
specified frequency
• Example: Noise

Frequency range is governed by:

1
f 
2  R  C

Where
R = R2
C = C2
High Pass Filter
• Filters out frequencies below a specified
frequency
• Reverse locations of resistors and
capacitors in a low pass filter
Band Pass Filter

• Created by combining a high and low pass filter


• Only allows signals within frequency ranges specified by the
low and high pass filters to pass
Comparator Circuit

V1 is Vref
V2 is Vin

• Determines if one signal is bigger than another


• No negative feedback, infinite gain and circuit saturates
• Saturation: output is most positive or most negative value
OR Gate

If U1 or/and U2 = 5V,
U3 = 5V
If U2 and U1 = 0V,
U3 = 0V

Non-Ideal Op-Amps
 Gain Bandwidth
 Falloff Frequency
 Slew Rate (ΔV/ΔT)
 Rise Time
Gain Bandwidth
 Gain Bandwidth Product (GBP)- is the
product of the open-loop gain and the
bandwidth at that gain.
 For practical purposes the actual gain
should only be 1/10 to 1/20 of the open
loop gain at a given frequency to ensure
that the op-amp will operate without
distortion.
