Chapter 11: Op-Amp Applications Chapter 11: Op-Amp Applications One of the most common op-amp circuits is the inverting constant-gain multiplier, which provides a precise gain or amplification. Figure 11.1 shows a standard circuit connection, with the resulting gain being given by http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...tu11_00100.gif (11.1) http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...tr11_00100.gif FIG. 11.1 Fixed-gain amplifier. EXAMPLE 11.1 Determine the output voltage for the circuit of Fig. 11.2 with a sinusoidal input of 2.5 mV. http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...tr11_00200.gif FIG. 11.2 Circuit for Example 11.2. Solution: The circuit of Fig. 11.2 uses a 741 op-amp to provide a constant or fixed gain, calculated from Eq.

EXAMPLE 11.2 Calculate the output voltage from the circuit of Fig. 11.4 for an input of 120 http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...ols/italmu.gifV. Solution: The gain of the op-amp circuit is calculated using Eq. (11.2) to be http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...tu11_00400.gif The output voltage is then http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...tu11_00500.gif http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...tr11_00400.gif FIG. 11.4 Circuit for Example 11.2. Multiple-Stage Gains When a number of stages are connected in series, the overall gain is the product of the individual stage gains. Figure 11.5 shows a connection of three stages. The first stage is connected to provide noninverting gain as given by Eq. (11.1). The next two stages provide an inverting gain given by Eq. (11.1). The overall circuit gain is then noninverting and is calculated by http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...tu11_00600.gif where http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...tu11_00700.gif http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...tr11_00500.gif FIG. 11.5 Constant-gain connection with multiple stages. EXAMPLE 11.3 Calculate the output voltage using the circuit of Fig. 11.5 for resistor components of value Rf = 470 khttp://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...bols/omega.gif, R1 = 4.3 khttp://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...bols/omega.gif, R2 = 33 khttp://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...bols/omega.gif, and R3 = 33 khttp://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...bols/omega.gif for an input of 80 http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...ols/italmu.gifV.

Solution: For the gain of +10, http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...tu11_01000.gif For the gain of –18, http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...tu11_01100.gif For the gain of –27, http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...tu11_01200.gif The circuit showing the pin connections and all components used is given in Fig. 11.6. For an input of V1 = 150 http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...ols/italmu.gifV, the output voltage is Vo = A1A2A3V1 = (10)(–18)(–27)(150 http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...ols/italmu.gifV) = 4860 (150 http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...ols/italmu.gifV) = 0.729 V http://wps.prenhall.com/wps/media/ob...tr11_00600.gif FIG. 11.6 Circuit for Example 11.4 (using LM124). A number of op-amp stages could also be used to provide separate gains, as demonstrated in the next example.
