Figure 5.1
Fig. 1, shows the dual input balanced output differential amplifier using a constant
current bias. The resistance RE is replace by constant current transistor Q3. The dc
collector current in Q3 is established by R1, R2, & RE.
Because the two halves of the differential amplifiers are symmetrical, each has half of
the current IC3.
The collector current, IC3 in transistor Q3 is fixed because no signal is injected into either
the emitter or the base of Q3.
Besides supplying constant emitter current, the constant current bias also provides a
very high source resistance since the ac equivalent or the dc source is ideally an open
circuit. Therefore, all the performance equations obtained for differential amplifier
using emitter bias are also valid.

This helps to hold the current IE3 constant even though the temperature changes.
Applying KVL to the base circuit of Q3.
Therefore, the current IE3 is constant and independent of temperature because of the
added diode D. Without D the current would vary with temperature because VBE3
decreases approximately by 2mV/° C. The diode has same temperature dependence
and hence the two variations cancel each other and IE3 does not vary appreciably
with temperature. Since the cut – in voltage VD of diode approximately the same value as
the base to emitter voltage VBE3 of a transistor the above condition cannot be satisfied
with one diode. Hence two diodes are used in series for VD. In this case the common
mode gain reduces to zero.

(a). To determine the collector current and collector to emitter voltage of transistors Q1
and Q2, we assume that the inverting and non-inverting inputs are grounded. The
Now, we can calculate the voltage between collector and emitter for Q1 and Q2 using
the collector current as follows:
Next, we will determine the collector current in Q3 and Q4 by writing the Kirchhoff's
voltage equation for the base emitter loop of the transistor Q3:
= 9.32 V
Therefore,
[Note that the output terminal (VC4) is at 9.32 V and not at zero volts.]
(b). First, we calculate the ac emitter resistance r'e of each stage and then its voltage gain.
The first stage is a dual input, balanced output differential amplifier, therefore, its voltage
gain is

Electrical engineering
The input offset current Iio is the difference between the currents into inverting and
non-inverting terminals of a balanced amplifier.
The Iio for the 741C is 200nA maximum. As the matching between two input terminals
is improved, the difference between IB1 and IB2 becomes smaller, i.e. the Iio value
decreases further.For a precision OPAMP 741C, Iio is 6 nA
The input bias current IB is the average of the current entering the input terminals of
a balanced amplifier i.e.
IB = (IB1 + IB2 ) / 2
Ri is the equivalent resistance that can be measured at either the inverting or non-
inverting input terminal with the other terminal grounded. For the 741C the input resistance
is relatively high 2 MΩ. For some OPAMP it may be up to 1000 G ohm.
Ci is the equivalent capacitance that can be measured at either the inverting and
noninverting terminal with the other terminal connected to ground. A typical value of Ci is
1.4 pf for the 741C.
741 OPAMP have offset voltage null capability. Pins 1 and 5 are marked offset null for
this purpose. It can be done by connecting 10 K ohm pot between 1 and 5 as shown in
fig. 3.
Fig. 3
By varying the potentiometer, output offset voltage (with inputs grounded) can be reduced
to zero volts. Thus the offset voltage adjustment range is the range through which the
input offset voltage can be adjusted by varying 10 K pot. For the 741C the offset
voltage adjustment range is ± 15 mV.
Where ∆ V is the change in the input supply voltage and ∆ Vio is the corresponding change

> Lecture 30
For 741C, SVRR is measured for both supply magnitudes increasing or
decreasing simultaneously, with R3 ≤ 10K. For same OPAMPS, SVRR is separately
Since the OPAMP amplifies difference voltage between two input terminals, the voltage
gain of the amplifier is defined as
Because output signal amplitude is much large than the input signal the voltage gain
is commonly called large signal voltage gain. For 741C is voltage gain is 200,000 typically.
The ac output compliance PP is the maximum unclipped peak to peak output voltage that
an OPAMP can produce. Since the quiescent output is ideally zero, the ac output voltage
can swing positive or negative. This also indicates the values of positive and
negative saturation voltages of the OPAMP. The output voltage never exceeds these limits
for a given supply voltages +VCC and –VEE. For a 741C it is ± 13 V.
RO is the equivalent resistance that can be measured between the output terminal of
the OPAMP and the ground. It is 75 ohm for the 741C OPAMP.
Example - 1
Determine the output voltage in each of the following cases for the open loop
differential amplifier of fig. 4:
Fig. 4
Solution:
Remember that vo = 2.4 V dc with the assumption that the dc output voltage is zero when
the input signals are zero.
(b). The output voltage equation is valid for both ac and dc input signals. The output
voltage is given by
Thus the theoretical value of output voltage vo = -2000 V rms. However, the
OPAMP saturates at ± 14 V. Therefore, the actual output waveform will be clipped as
shown fig. 5. This non-sinusoidal waveform is unacceptable in amplifier applications.
Fig. 5
IS is the current drawn by the OPAMP from the supply. For the 741C OPAMP the
supply current is 2.8 m A.
Power consumption (PC) is the amount of quiescent power (vin= 0V) that must be
consumed by the OPAMP in order to operate properly. The amount of power consumed
by the 741C is 85 m W.

under large signal conditions and is expressed in volts / µ secs.

> Lecture 30
Fig. 6
If 'i' is more, capacitor charges quickly. If 'i' is limited to Imax, then rate of change is
also limited.
Slew rate indicates how rapidly the output of an OPAMP can change in response to
changes in the input frequency with input amplitude constant. The slew rate changes
with change in voltage gain and is normally specified at unity gain.
If the slope requirement is greater than the slew rate, then distortion occurs. For the 741C
the slew rate is low 0.5 V / µ S. which limits its use in higher frequency applications.
It is also called average temperature coefficient of input offset voltage or input offset
current. The input offset voltage drift is the ratio of the change in input offset voltage
to change in temperature and expressed in µ V /° C. Input offset voltage drift = ( ∆ Vio / ∆ T).
Similarly, input offset current drift is the ratio of the change in input offset current to
the change in temperature. Input offset current drift = ( ∆ Iio / ∆ T).
For 741C,
∆ Vio / ∆ T = 0.5 µ V / C.
∆ Iio/ ∆ T = 12 pA / C.

Solution:
From data sheet we get vin = 5 mV for the operational amplifier µA 715.
V = | VCC | = | - VEE | = 15 V
Now,
If a 124Ω potentiometer is not available, we may prefer to use to the next lower value
avilable, such as 104Ω, so that the value of Ra will be larger than Rb by a factor of 10. If
we select a 10 kΩ potentiometer a s the Ra value, Rb is 12 times larger than Ra, Thus
Ra = 10 kΩ potentiometer
Rb = 30 kΩ

This equivalent circuit is useful in analyzing the basic operating principles of OPAMP and
in observing the effects of standard feedback arrangements
This equation indicates that the output voltage vO is directly proportional to the
algebraic difference between the two input voltages. In other words the OPAMP amplifies
the difference between the two input voltages. It does not amplify the input
voltages themselves. The polarity of the output voltage depends on the polarity of
the difference voltage vd.
The graphic representation of the output equation is shown in fig. 6 in which the
output voltage vO is plotted against differential input voltage vd, keeping gain Ad constant.
Fig. 6
The output voltage cannot exceed the positive and negative saturation voltages.
These saturation voltages are specified for given values of supply voltages. This means
that the output voltage is directly proportional to the input difference voltage only until
it reaches the saturation voltages and thereafter the output voltage remains constant.
Thus curve is called an ideal voltage transfer curve, ideal because output offset voltage
is assumed to be zero. If the curve is drawn to scale, the curve would be almost
vertical because of very large values of Ad.

to be zero.
Therefore
vo = Ad (vin1 – vin2 )
If the input is applied to only inverting terminal and non-inverting terminal is grounded then
it is called inverting amplifier.This configuration is shown in fig. 2.
v1= 0, v2 = vin.
vo = -Ad vin
Fig. 2
The negative sign indicates that the output voltage is out of phase with respect to input 180
° or is of opposite polarity. Thus the input signal is amplified and inverted also.
v1 = +vin v2 = 0
vo = +Ad vin
This means that the input voltage is amplified by Ad and there is no phase reversal at
the output.
Fig. 3
In all there configurations any input signal slightly greater than zero drive the output
to saturation level. This is because of very high gain. Thus when operated in open-loop,
the output of the OPAMP is either negative or positive saturation or switches between
positive and negative saturation levels. Therefore open loop op-amp is not used in
linear applications.

In all these circuits of fig. 4, the signal direction is from input to output for OPAMP and

Electrical engineering
The product A and B is called loop gain. The gain loop gain is very large such that AB >> 1
This shows that overall voltage gain of the circuit equals the reciprocal of B, the
feedback gain. It means that closed loop gain is no longer dependent on the gain of the
op-amp, but depends on the feedback of the voltage divider. The feedback gain B can
be precisely controlled and it is independent of the amplifier.
Physically, what is happening in the circuit? The gain is approximately constant, even
though differential voltage gain may change. Suppose A increases for some
reasons (temperature change). Then the output voltage will try to increase. This means
that more voltage is fedback to the inverting input, causing vd voltage to decrease.
This almost completely offset the attempted increases in output voltage.
Similarly, if A decreases, The output voltage decreases. It reduces the feedback voltage
vf and hence, vd voltage increases. Thus the output voltage increases almost to same level.
v O = Ad v d
or vd = vO / Ad
∴ vd ≈ 0.
and v1 = v2 (ideal).
This says, that the voltage at non-inverting input terminal of an op-amp is approximately
equal to that at the inverting input terminal provided that Ad is very large. This concept
is useful in the analysis of closed loop OPAMP circuits. For example, ideal closed
loop voltage again can be obtained using the results

Since AB is much larger than 1, which means that Rif is much larger that Ri. Thus
Rif approaches infinity and therefore, this amplifier approximates an ideal voltage amplifier.
Output resistance is the resistance determined looking back into the feedback amplifier
from the output terminal. To find output resistance with feedback Rf, input vin is reduced
to zero, an external voltage Vo is applied as shown in fig. 2.

This shows that the output resistance of the voltage series feedback amplifier is ( 1 / 1
+AB ) times the output resistance Ro of the op-amp. It is very small because (1+AB) is
very large. It approaches to zero for an ideal voltage amplifier.

The frequency at which gain equals 1 is known as the unity gain bandwidth. It is
the maximum frequency the OPAMP can be used for.
Furthermore, the gain bandwidth product obtained from the open loop gain vs
frequency curve is equal to the unity gain bandwidth of the OPAMP.
Since the gain bandwidth product is constant obviously the higher the gain the smaller
the bandwidth and vice versa. If negative feedback is used gain decrease from A to A /
(1+AB). Therefore the closed loop bandwidth increases by (1+AB).

The negative sign in equation indicates that the input and output signals are out of phase
by 180. Therefore it is called inverting amplifier. The gain can be selected by selecting Rf
and R1 (even < 1).
In the fig. 1, shown earlier, the noninverting terminal is grounded and the- input signal
is applied to the inverting terminal via resistor R1. The difference input voltage vd is
ideally zero, (vd= vO/ A) is the voltage at the inverting terminals (v2) is approximately equal
to that of the noninverting terminal (v1). In other words, the inverting terminal voltage (v1)
is approximately at ground potential. Therefore, it is said to be at virtual ground.
