OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS

WHAT ARE OPAMPS?

Most versatile and widely used electronic devices that allow you to

build useful circuits without needing to know their complex internal

circuitry

Low cost, easy, fun to work with

Self protecting internal circuitry – (forgiving of wiring errors)

Amplify DC as well as AC signals

Used for versatile operations today (as opposed to add/subtract

etc…)

HISTORY OF OPAMPS

Idea of op-Amps goes way back to 1930s - Gain controlled amplifiers with negative feedback - Bell telephone Laboratories (Patent in 1941)

Around late 1940s and early 1950s - Non-transistorized version; vacuum tube op Amp

First solid state monolithic IC Op-amp(BJTs and FETs) was designed by Robert Wildar and introduced in 1963 by Fairchild semiconductors as uA702

The uA741 was designed by Dave Fullagar in 1967!

Op Amps are not new!! Just Improved. .

K2-XA

Early 1950s! Cost approx. 22$

Now: Less than a dollar!

DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER

Basic building block of an Op-Amp that amplifies the difference between two input signals

2 Emitter biased circuits

Transistors 𝑄1 & 𝑄2 are identical

𝑅𝐸1 = 𝑅𝐸2 ; 𝑅𝐶1 = 𝑅𝐶2

+𝑉𝐶𝐶 and −𝑉𝐸𝐸 have equal magnitudes

(w.r.t ground)

Two emitter biased circuits when connected in the given

manner, work like a differential amplifier

+𝑉𝐶𝐶 and −𝑉𝐸𝐸 are made common

Both emitters are connected

𝑅𝐸1 ∥ 𝑅𝐸2 is replaced by 𝑅𝐸

Inputs 𝑉1& 𝑉2 are applied at base of

𝑄1 & 𝑄2

Output voltage is taken b/w

collectors

𝑅𝐶1 = 𝑅𝐶2 = 𝑅𝐶

Ideally, when 𝑉1= 𝑉2 output voltage = 0

If 𝑉1 > 𝑉2 or 𝑉2> 𝑉1, output voltage with a polarity appears.

DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATIONS

Based on the NUMBER of Input signals and the WAY an Output voltage

is measured, we have the following configurations

Dual Input, Balanced Output differential amplifier (DIBO)

D.C. ANALYSIS OF A DIBO DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER

To find Operating Points (𝐼𝐶𝑄& 𝑉𝐶𝐸𝑄) , a DC equivalent circuit is drawn by reducing Inputs (𝑉1& 𝑉2) to 0 Applying KVL to Base – Emitter Loop of Q1,

W.K.T, 𝑰𝑩 = 𝑰𝑬𝜷𝒅𝒄 & 𝑰𝑬 ≅ 𝑰𝑪

𝐼𝐸 = 𝐼𝐶 =𝑉𝐸𝐸 − 𝑉𝐵𝐸

𝑉𝐶 = 𝑉𝐶𝐶 − 𝐼𝐶𝑅𝐶 𝑉𝐸 = −𝑉𝐵𝐸 (𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑢𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑟𝑜𝑝 𝑎𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝑅𝑆𝑖𝑠 𝑛𝑒𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒)

𝑉𝐶𝐸𝑄 = 𝑉𝐶𝐶 + 𝑉𝐵𝐸 − 𝐼𝐶𝑅𝐶

𝑰𝑬 = 𝑰𝑪 =𝑽𝑬𝑬 − 𝑽𝑩𝑬

But, 2𝑅𝐸 ≫𝑅𝑆

𝛽𝑑𝑐

PROBLEM

The following specifications are given for a DIBO differential amplifier

𝑅𝐶 = 2.2. 𝑘Ω, 𝑅𝐸 = 4.7𝑘Ω, 𝑅𝑖𝑛1 = 𝑅𝑖𝑛2 = 50Ω, +𝑉𝑐𝑐= 10𝑉, −𝑉𝐸𝐸= −10𝑉,

+𝛽𝑑𝑐= 100, 𝑉𝐵𝐸 = 0.715𝑉. Determine the operating points (𝐼𝐶𝑄 & 𝑉𝐶𝐸𝑄)

of the two transistors

OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER

SYMBOL: Triangle which points in the direction of signal flow

Op-Amp has five terminals

(i) Positive Supply Voltage Terminal (+𝑉𝐶𝐶 or +V)

(ii) Negative Supply Voltage Terminal (-𝑉𝐸𝐸 or –V)

(iii) Output Terminal

(iv) Inverting input Terminal (marked -)

(v) Non-Inverting input Terminal (marked +)

Input at inverting terminal results in opposite polarity (anti phase)

output

Input at non-inverting terminal results in same polarity output

(in phase) output

Power Supply: Dual balanced Power Supply (typically ± 15V or

±9V, ±12V, ±22V etc… )

DUAL SUPPLY: 2 DC supply voltages whose mid point is ground

BALANCED: Voltages of +𝑉𝐶𝐶 and -𝑉𝐸𝐸 are same in magnitude

Ideal Op-Amp is basically an amplifier that amplifies

difference between two input signals (Differential Amplifier in

its basic form)

Ideal Differential Amplifier - Amplifies difference between two

input voltage signals

Ideally, 𝑉0 ∝ (𝑉1 − 𝑉2)

DIFFERENTIAL GAIN

𝑽𝟎 = 𝑨𝒅(𝑽𝟏 − 𝑽𝟐)

𝑉0 = 𝐴𝑑𝑉𝑑

𝐴𝑑 : Differential Gain ; Constant of proportionality

𝑉𝑑 : Difference Voltage (𝑉1 − 𝑉2)

Differential Gain may be expressed as

𝐴𝑑 =𝑉0𝑉𝑑

𝑨𝒅(𝒅𝑩) = 𝟐𝟎 𝐥𝐨𝐠𝟏𝟎𝑨𝒅

COMMON MODE GAIN

Ideally, if 𝑉1 = 𝑉2, then 𝑉0 = 𝐴𝑑(𝑉1 − 𝑉2) should be 0

Practically, common mode signal 𝑉𝑐 is also present

𝑽𝒄 =𝑽𝟏 + 𝑽𝟐

𝟐

Gain with which it amplifies common mode signal to produce output is

called common mode gain

𝑽𝟎 = 𝑨𝒄𝑽𝒄

Total o/p of any Differential Amplifier

𝑽𝟎 = 𝑨𝒄𝑽𝒄 + 𝑨𝒅𝑽𝒅

IDEAL DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER: Infinite 𝐴𝑑 and Zero 𝐴𝑐

CMRR (Common Mode Rejection Ratio)

Common Mode Configuration: The common mode signal is interference, static and other kinds of undesirable pickup etc. common to both input terminals of OPAMP - should be rejected!

Ability to reject common mode signal is expressed by a ratio called

common mode rejection ratio (CMRR, 𝜌)

𝑪𝑴𝑹𝑹 = 𝝆 =𝑨𝒅

𝑨𝒄

𝑪𝑴𝑹𝑹 𝒅𝑩 = 𝟐𝟎 𝒍𝒐𝒈𝑨𝒅

𝑨𝒄

Ideally, CMRR should be infinite (practically a large value)

IDEAL OP-AMP Characteristics

Ideal Op-Amp: 2 i/p signals 𝑉1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑉2 applied at non-inverting and

inverting terminals

Infinite Input Impedance: 𝐼1 = 𝐼2 = 0;

Any source can drive it and there is no loading on driver stage

Infinite Gain and hence differential input 𝑉𝑑 = 𝑉1 − 𝑉2 = 0 for finite

voltage 𝑉0

Zero Output Impedance : Output voltage 𝑉0 is independent of current

drawn from o/p terminals

o/p can drive infinite number of other circuits.

The various characteristics of an Ideal Op-Amp are

Infinite Voltage Gain

Infinite Input Impedance

Zero Output Impedance

Zero Offset Voltage

Infinite Bandwidth

Infinite CMRR

Infinite Slew Rate

No effect of Temperature

Power Supply Rejection Ratio

Infinite Voltage Gain (𝐴𝑂𝐿): Differential Open Loop Gain and is

infinite for an ideal Op-Amp.

Infinite Input Impedance (𝑅𝑖𝑛): Infinite for ideal Op-Amp and

ensures that no current flows into an ideal Op-Amp

Zero Output Impedance (𝑅𝑂): Zero for an ideal Op-Amp and ensures

that o/p voltage of an Op-Amp remains the same irrespective of

the value of the load resistance connected

Zero Offset Voltage: Presence of a small output voltage even if

𝑉1 − 𝑉2 = 0 is called ‘Offset Voltage’ - Zero for an Ideal Op-Amp

Ensures that output is zero for zero input signal

Infinite Bandwidth:

Bandwidth: Range of frequency over which satisfactory amplifier performance

is obtained

Infinite Bandwidth implies Operating frequency range is 0 to ∞

Ensures that gain of Op-Amp will be constant over freq. range from DC

frequency (0) to infinite frequency

Amplify AC as well as DC

Infinite CMRR: Infinite for ideal Op-Amp and ensures Zero Noise output voltage

( 𝐴𝐶 = 0)

Infinite Slew Rate:

Slew Rate: Maximum rate of change of output voltage with time - 𝑉 𝜇𝑠

𝑆𝑙𝑒𝑤 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑆 =𝑑𝑉0𝑑𝑡

(𝑚𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚)

Infinite Slew Rate implies changes in the output voltage occurs simultaneously

with changes in the input voltage. (e.g. Step Input)

No effect of temperature: Characteristics of an op-amp does not

change with temperature

Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR): This is defined as ratio of

change in input offset voltage due to changes in supply voltage

producing it, keeping other power supply voltage constant (Power

Supply Sensitivity)

If 𝑉𝐸𝐸 is constant and due to change in 𝑉𝐶𝐶, there is change in

input offset voltage, then PSRR is expressed as,

𝑃𝑆𝑅𝑅 =∆𝑉𝑖𝑜𝑠∆𝑉𝐶𝐶

(𝑚𝑉𝑉 𝑜𝑟

𝜇𝑉𝑉 )

Similarly,

𝑃𝑆𝑅𝑅 =∆𝑉𝑖𝑜𝑠∆𝑉𝐸𝐸

Ideal Voltage Transfer Curve

TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS

𝑉0 is proportional to 𝑉𝑑 only up to positive and negative saturation

voltages of Op-Amp & remains constant later

Practically saturation voltages are slightly less than + 𝑉𝐶𝐶 and - 𝑉𝐸𝐸

LEVEL SHIFTING STAGE

Direct Coupling: Stage by stage DC level increases well above ground potential - ‘May drive transistors into saturation, cause distortion’

An Emitter Follower (Common Collector) with a voltage divider circuit is used in STAGE 3

High Input Impedance: Also prevents loading of gain stage

Low Output Impedance: Easily drives o/p stage

Level Shifter: Shifts DC level at o/p of Stage 2

downwards to 0v

Buffer: Isolates high gain stages from o/p stage

Large o/p voltage swing capability

Low Output Impedance

Low power dissipation

Short circuit protection

Class B push-pull amplifier may be used - Emitter Follower with

complementary transistors

Limitation: As long as 𝑉𝑖𝑛 < 𝑉𝐵𝐸, output voltage remains 0 - causes

‘Crossover Distortion’

Diode biasing voltage causes both transistors to slightly conduct even

when no input signal is present

About 24 Transistors, few resistors, only 1 Capacitor, 2 power supplies and short circuit protection

𝑹𝒐 - Output Resistance of Op-Amp

𝑨𝑶𝑳𝑽𝒅 - Thevenin’s Equivalent voltage source 𝑹𝒐 - Thevenin’s Equivalent resistance

PRACTICAL OP-AMP CHARACTERISTICS

OPEN LOOP GAIN: Voltage gain of op-amp without feedback (several thousands)

INPUT IMPEDANCE: Finite (>1MΩ and may be increased to several M𝜴 if FETs are

used in input stage)

OUTPUT IMPEDANCE: Finite (few 100 Ω and may be reduced to 1 - 2 Ω using

negative feedback)

BANDWIDTH: Finite and small in O.L. configuration (may be increased to a suitable

value by using a negative feedback)

INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE: A small non-zero o/p voltage is present even if both i/p

terminals are grounded (ideally 0)

The D.C. voltage applied to a particular terminal that makes o/p voltage 0 when

other terminal is grounded is called Input Offset Voltage 𝑉𝑖𝑜𝑠

Voltage, terminal, polarity etc specified by manufacturer

INPUT BIAS CURRENT: Practical Op-Amps have some current flowing into

the input terminals (10−6 − 10−14𝐴)

Due to improper matching of transistors, I/p terminals (base terminals

of 2 transistors) conduct small amount of d.c. currents known as bias

currents (𝐼𝑏1𝑎𝑛𝑑𝐼𝑏2)

Manufacturers specify average bias current 𝐼𝑏

𝑰𝒃 =𝑰𝒃𝟏 + 𝑰𝒃𝟐

𝟐

Transistors of the Differential Amplifier (used as i/p stages) must be

biased correctly

INPUT OFFSET CURRENT: Difference in magnitudes of 𝐼𝑏1 and 𝐼𝑏2 is called Input Offset Current

𝑰𝒊𝒐𝒔 = 𝑰𝒃𝟏 − 𝑰𝒃𝟐

Magnitude: Small (20 – 60 nA) when input Vg = 0

QUESTIONS

If base currents for emitter coupled transistor of D.A. are 18𝜇𝐴

and 22𝜇𝐴, find Input bias current and Input Offset current

For a particular op-amp input offset current is 20nA while input

bias current is 60nA. Calculate values of two input bias

currents.

PSRR (POWER SUPPLY REJECTION RATIO): Change in offset voltage due

to change in supply producing it

An Op-Amp with 𝑨𝑶𝑳 = 𝟐𝟎𝟎, 𝟎𝟎𝟎 is used as a differential amplifier in open

loop mode. Input voltages are 𝑽𝒊𝒏𝟏 = 𝟖𝒎𝑽 (𝒓𝒎𝒔) and

𝑽𝒊𝒏𝟐 = 𝟏𝟔𝒎𝑽 (𝒓𝒎𝒔) Sketch the input and output waveforms. Op-amp

saturation voltages are ±13𝑉

CLOSED LOOP OPAMP CONFIGURATION

Configuration in which there is a feedback from output to

input

Feedback resistor ‘𝑅𝑓’connects output to

inverting input terminal

Resulting Gain – ‘Closed Loop Gain’

For linear applications an Op-Amp is always used with a ‘Negative Feedback’ –

controls gain

ADVANTAGES OF NEGATIVE FEEDBACK

Reduces gain and makes it controllable

Increases bandwidth (freq. range)

Increases input resistance ; decreases output resistance of op-amp

Reduces effects of temperature, power supply on gain of circuit

Realistic Simplifying Assumptions (Analysis of op-amp circuits)

1. ZERO INPUT CURRENT: Current drawn by either of input terminals is ‘zero’ (practically 𝜇A or nA)

2. VIRTUAL GROUND: Differential input voltage ‘𝑉𝑑’ is essentially zero

Under linear range of operation there is virtually a ‘short circuit’ between the two input terminals (in the sense their voltages are same)

e.g. If N.I. terminal is grounded, by concept of virtual ground, inverting terminal is also at ground potential
