Operational Amplifier II
• The op amp is capable of many math operations, such as
addition, subtraction, multiplication, differentiation, and
integration
• There are five terminals found on all op-amps
– The inverting input
– The noninverting input
– The output
– The positive and negative power supplies

Operational Amplifier Terminals
A simplified circuit symbol for an op amp.

Powering an Op-amp
• As an active element, the op-
amp requires a power source
• Often in circuit diagrams the
power supply terminals are
obscured
• It is taken for granted that they
must be connected
• Most op-amps use two voltage
sources, with a ground reference
between them
• This gives a positive and
negative supply voltage
4
Output Voltage
• The voltage output of an op-amp
is proportional to the difference
between the noninverting and
inverting inputs
vo = Avd = A(v2 - v1 )
• Here, A is called the open loop
gain
• Ideally it is infinite
• In real devices, it is still high: 105
to 108 volts/volt
5
Feedback
• Op-amps take on an expanded
functional ability with the use of
feedback
• The idea is that the output of the
op-amp is fed back into the
inverting terminal
• Depending on what elements this
signal passes through the gain
and behavior of the op-amp
changes
• Feedback to the inverting terminal
is called negative feedback
• Positive feedback would lead to
oscillations
6
Voltage Saturation
• As an ideal source, the output
voltage would be unlimited
• In reality, one cannot expect the
output to exceed the supply
voltages
• When an output should exceed the
possible voltage range, the output
remains at either the maximum or
minimum supply voltage
• This is called saturation
• Outputs between these limiting
voltages are referred to as the
linear region
7
Ideal Op Amp
• To facilitate the understanding

of op amp circuits, we will
assume ideal op amps.
(Approximate Analysis)
• As mentioned before, it will
have an infinite open-loop gain
• The resistance of the two inputs
will also be infinite
• This means it will not affect any
node it is attached to
• It is also given zero output
impedance
• From Thevenin s theorem one
can see that this means it is
load independent
10
Ideal Op-amp II
• Many modern op-amp come close to the ideal values:
• Most have very large gains, greater than one million
• Input impedances are often in the giga-Ohm to terra-
Ohm range
• This means that current into both input terminals are
zero
• When operated in negative feedback, the output adjusts
so that the two inputs have the same voltage.
11
Inverting Amplifier
• The first useful op-amp circuit

that we will consider is the
inverting amplifier
• Here the noninverting input is
grounded
• The inverting terminal is
connected to the output via a
feedback resistor, Rf
• The input is also connected to
the inverting terminal via
another resistor, R1
13
Inverting Amplifier II
• By applying KCL to node 1 of
the circuit, one can see that:
vi - v1 v1 - vo
i2 = i2 Þ =
R1 Rf
• Also, in this circuit, the
noninverting terminal is
grounded
• With negative feedback
established through the
feedback resistor, this means
that v1 is also zero volts.
• This yields: vi v
=- o
R1 Rf
14
Inverting Amplifier III
• This can be rearranged to
show the relationship between
the input and output voltages
Rf
vo = - vi
R1
• From this one can see that:
– The gain is the ratio of the
feedback resistor and R1
– The polarity of the output is the
reverse of the input, thus the
name inverting amplifier
15
Equivalent Circuit
• The inverting
amplifier s equivalent
circuit is shown here
• Note that it has a finite
input resistance
• It is also a good
candidate for making
a current-to-voltage
converter
16
Non-Inverting Amplifier
• Another important op-amp circuit is

the noninverting amplifier
• The basic configuration of the
amplifier is the same as the
inverting amplifier
• Except that the input and the
ground are switched
• Once again applying KCL to the
inverting terminal gives:
0 - v1 v1 - vo
i1 = i2 Þ =
R1 Rf
17
Non-Inverting Amplifier II
• There is once again negative
feedback in the circuit, thus
we know that the input
voltage is present at the
inverting terminal
• This gives the following
relationship:
-vi vi - vo
=
R1 Rf
• The output voltage is thus:

æ Rf ö
vo = ç1 + ÷ vi
è R1 ø 18
Non-inverting Amplifier II
• Note that the gain here is positive, thus the
amplifier is noninverting
• Also note that this amplifier retains the infinite
input impedance of the op-amp
• One aspect of this amplifier s gain is that it
can never go below 1.
• One could replace the feedback resistor with
a wire and disconnect the ground and the
gain would still be 1
• This configuration is called a voltage follower
or a unity gain amplifier
• It is good for separating two circuits while
allowing a signal to pass through.
19
Summing Amplifier
• Aside from amplification, the op-amp

can be made to do addition very
readily
• If one takes the inverting amplifier
and combines several inputs each
via their own resistor:
– The current from each input will be
proportional to the applied voltage and
the input resistance
i1 =
( v1 - va )
i2 =
( v2 - va )
i3 =
( v3 - va )
R1 R2 R3
21
Summing Amplifier II
• At the inverting terminal, these current will combine to equal
the current through the feedback resistor
ia =
( va - vo )
Rf
• This results in the following relationship:
æ Rf Rf Rf ö
vo = - ç v1 + v2 + v3 ÷
è R1 R2 R3 ø
• Note that the output is a weighted sum of the inputs
• The number of inputs need not be limited to three.
22
Cascaded Op Amps
• It is common to use multiple op-amp stages

chained together
• This head to tail configuration is called
cascading
• Each amplifier is then called a stage
25
Cascaded Op Amps II
• Due to the ideal op-amps s input and output impedance,

stages can be chained together without impact the
performance of any one stage
• One reason to cascade amplifier stages is to increase
the overall gain.
• The gain of a series of amplifiers is the product of the
individual gains:
A = A1 A2 A3
27
Cascaded Amplifiers III
• For example, two stages each having a

gain of 100, have a combined gain of
10,000
• Mixing high gain and improved input
impedance is another reason to cascade
28
Integrator
• Capacitors, in combination with op-

amps can be made to perform
advanced mathematical functions
• One such function is the integrator.
• By replacing the feedback resistor
with a capacitor, the output voltage
from the op-amp is:
1 t
v0 = - ò vi (t ) dt
RC 0 33
Differentiator
• The previous circuit functions as an

integrator with time.
• If the capacitor is used in place of
the input resistor instead of the
feedback resistor, there will only be
current flowing if the voltage is
changing
• The output voltage in this case will
be:
dvi
vo = - RC
dt
• From this it is clear this circuit
performs differentiation with time
