Operational Amplifiers

Having learned the basic laws and theorems for circuit


analysis, we are now ready to study an active circuit element
of paramount importance: the operational amplifier, or op
amp for short. The op amp is a versatile circuit building block.
OP AMP
• an electronic unit that behaves like a voltage-controlled voltage source.

• It can also be used in making a voltage- or current-controlled current


source. An op amp can sum signals, amplify a signal, integrate it, or
differentiate it. The ability of the op amp to perform these
mathematical operations is the reason it is called an operational
amplifier. It is also the reason for the widespread use of op amps in
analog design. Op amps are popular in practical circuit designs because
they are versatile, inexpensive, easy to use, and fun to work with.

Pin configuration and Circuit Symbol
Powered Op Amp
As an active element, the op
amp must be powered by a
voltage supply.

Although the power supplies


are often ignored in op amp
circuit diagrams for the sake
of simplicity, the power
supply currents must not be
overlooked.
Non-Ideal Op Amp
• The output section consists of a voltage-
controlled source in series with the
output resistance Ro.

• The op amp senses the difference


between the two inputs, multiplies it by
the gain A, and causes the resulting
voltage to appear at the output.
Thus, the output Vo is given by, Equivalent Circuit of Non-Ideal Op Amp
Typical Ranges of Op Amp Parameters
• A is called the open-loop voltage gain because it is the gain of the op
amp without any external feedback from output to input.
Feedback / Closed-loop gain
• when there is a feedback
path from output to input,
the ratio of the output
voltage to the input voltage
is called the closed-loop
gain.

• As a result of the negative


feedback, it can be shown
that the closed-loop gain is
almost insensitive to the
open-loop gain A of the op
amp. For this reason, op
amps are used in circuits
with feedback paths.
Limitation
• A practical limitation of the op amp is that
the magnitude of its output voltage
cannot exceed |VCC|. In other words, the
output voltage is dependent on and is
limited by the power supply voltage.

• Three modes:
1. Positive Saturation
2. Linear Saturation
3. Negative Saturation
Example 1
A 741 Op Amp has an open-loop voltage gain of 2 x 10^5 , input resistance
of 2M ohm, and output resistance of 50 ohm. The op amp is used in the circuit
below. Find the closed-loop gain Vo/Vs. Determine current i when Vs = 2 V

closed-loop gain Vo/Vs. Find io when Vs = 1 V.
Ideal Op Amp
• To facilitate the understanding of op amp circuits, we will assume
ideal op amps. An op amp is ideal if it has the following
characteristics:

1. Infinite open-loop gain, A ≃ ∞


2. Infinite input resistance, Ri ≃ ∞
3. Zero output Resistance, Ro ≃ 0
Ideal Op Amp

• Although assuming an ideal op amp provides only an approximate


analysis, most modern amplifiers have such large gains and input
impedances that the approximate analysis is a good one. Unless
stated otherwise, we will assume from now on that every op amp is
ideal.
Ideal Op Amp Model
Two important characteristics of the ideal op
amp are:

1. The currents into both input terminals


are zero:

2. The voltage across the input terminals is


equal to zero;
