Chapter10Operational Amplifier Applications Microelectronic Circuit Design Richard C. Jaeger Travis N. Blalock Continue study of methods to determine transfer functions of circuits containing op amps. Introduction to active filters and switched capacitor circuits Explore digital-to-analog converter specifications and basic circuit implementations. Study analog-to-digital converter specifications and implementations. Explore applications of op amps in nonlinear circuits, such as precision rectifiers. Provide examples of multivibrator circuits employing positive feedback. Demonstrate use of ac analysis capability of SPICE. Op amp is voltage follower with unity gain over a wide range of frequencies. Uses positive feedback through C1 at frequencies above dc to realize complex poles without inductors. Feedback network provides dc path for amplifier’s input bias currents. Active Filters: Low-pass (Frequency Response) Active Filters: Low-pass (Example) Problem: Design second-order low-pass filter with maximally flat response. Given data: fH = 5 kHZ Analysis:C1 = 2C2 = 2C and R1 = R2 = R. Active Filters: High-pass with Gain (Transfer Function) Active Filters: High-pass with Gain (Frequency Response) For Q=0.71,magnitude response is maximally flat (Butterworth Filter response). Amplifier gain is constant at wwo, the lower cutoff frequency of the filter. Active Filters: Band-pass (Transfer Function) Active Filters: Band-pass (Frequency Response) Response peaks at wo and gain at center frequency is 2Q2. At wwo or wwo, filter response corresponds to single-pole high-pass or low-pass filter changing at a rate of 20dB/decade.
