The Operational Amplifier The operational amplifier (“op amp”) is a basic building block used in analog circuits. Its behavior is modeled using a dependent source. When combined with resistors, capacitors, and inductors, it can perform various useful functions: amplification/scaling of an input signal sign changing (inversion) of an input signal addition of multiple input signals subtraction of one input signal from another integration (over time) of an input signal differentiation (with respect to time) of an input signal analog filtering nonlinear functions like exponential, log, sqrt, etc Isolate input from output; allow cascading

Summing-Point Constraint Check if under negative feedback Small vi result in large vo Output vo is connected to the inverting input to reduce vi Resulting in vi=0 Summing-point constraint v1= v2 i1 = i2 =0 Virtual short circuit Not only voltage drop is 0 (which is short circuit), input current is 0 This is different from short circuit, hence called “virtual” short circuit.

Ideal Op-Amp Analysis Technique Applies only when Negative Feedback is present in circuit! Assumption 1: The potential between the op-amp input terminals, v(+) – v(-), equals zero. No Potential Difference Assumption 2: The currents flowing into the op-amp’s two input terminals both equal zero. No Currents R2 R1 - + V0 VIN EXAMPLE
