7. Mention some of the linear and non linear applications of Op - Amp. Linear applications of op amps :
Adder, subtractor, voltage to- current converter, current to- voltage converters, instrumentation amplifier, analog computation, power amplifier, etc are some of the linear op-amp circuits.
Non linear applications of op-amps:Rectifier, peak detector, clipper, clamper, sample and hold circuit, log amplifier, anti log amplifier, multiplier are some of the non linear op-amp circuits.
The graph indicates that once the output changes its state, it remains there indefinitely until the input voltage crosses any of the threshold voltage levels. This is called hysteresis of Schmitt trigger. The hysteresis is also called dead band or dead zone.
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) is defined as the change in op-amps input offset voltage due to variations in supply voltage. It is expressed in microvolt per volt or in db. (Or) PSSR is Power Supply Rejection Ratio. It is defined as the change in the input offset voltage due to the change in one of the two supply voltages when other voltage is maintained constant. Its ideal value should be zero.

17. Write short notes on Schmitt trigger and List out the applications.
Schmitt trigger is a generic name of threshold circuits with positive feedback having a loop gain > 1. Schmitt trigger is a regenerative comparator. It converts sinusoidal input into a square wave output. The output of Schmitt trigger swings between upper and lower threshold voltages, which are the reference voltages of the input waveform.
(Or)
Schmitt trigger is an inverting comparator with positive feedback. It converts an irregular-shaped waveform to a square wave or pulse, and is called as squaring circuit. Schmitt trigger devices are typically used in open loop configurations for noise immunity and closed loop negative feedback configurations to implement bistable regulators, triangle/square wave generators, etc.

Quite delicate in handling as these cannot withstand rough handling or excessive heat.
Need of connecting capacitor exterior to the semi-conductor chip as it is
neither convenient nor economical to fabricate capacitances exceeding 30pF. Therefore, for higher values of capacitance, discrete components exterior to IC chip are connected. High grade P-N-P assembly is not possible. Low temperature coefficient is difficult to be achieved. Difficult to fabricate an IC with low noise. Large value of saturation resistance of transistors. Voltage dependence of resistors and capacitors. The diffusion processes and other related procedures used in the fabrication process are not good enough to permit a precise control of the parameter values for the circuit elements. However, control of the ratios is at a sufficiently acceptable level.
ADIC
Low output impedance, almost zero. Hence it can be used to connect high impedance source to a low impedance load, as a buffer. It has a large bandwidth. The output follows the input exactly without a phase shift.
When the gain of the inverting amplifier is unity and it is used to change the phase of the input produce the output then it is called phase inverter.

This is defined as the smallest possible change in the analog output voltage. Its value depends on the number of bits in the digital input applied to DAC.
ADIC
A pipeline ADC generally several flash ADCs in series. Because of this you have a latency due to each flash. Plus you have to have op-amps in a pipeline ADC and compensating the op-amps limits the speed of the ADC. A flash ADC will be the fastest ADC you can have, but for it to have the same resolution as a 10-12 bit pipeline, it will consume a lot more area, input capacitance, and possibly more power. But the benefit is that the output data will be available usually 1/2-1 clock cycle later instead of several clock cycles later in a pipeline. A Flash ADC is the fastest ADC in terms of speed but it has added disadvantage that we have to compromise on power verse resolution. Pipelined ADC comes second in terms of power.

A universal gate is a gate which can implement any Boolean function without need to use any other gate type. The NAND and NOR gates are universal gates. In practice, this is advantageous since NAND and NOR gates are economical and easier to fabricate and are the basic gates used in all IC digital logic families. NAND and NOR both are called as universal gate. You can built any circuit or design using either NAND or NOR, this will be so flexible to fabricate any circuit in a single chip

The first three sums make perfect sense to anyone familiar with elementary addition. The last sum, though, is quite possibly responsible for more confusion than any other single statement in digital electronics, because it seems to run contrary to the basic principles of mathematics. Well, it does contradict principles of addition for real numbers, but not for Boolean numbers. Remember that in the world of Boolean algebra, there are only two possible values for any quantity and for any arithmetic operation: 1 or 0. There is no such thing as "2" within the scope of Boolean values. Since the sum "1 + 1" certainly isn't 0, it must be 1 by process of elimination. Binary addition These are computed without regard to the word size, hence there can be no sense of "overflow." Work through the columns right to left, add up the ones and express the answer in binary. The low bit goes in the sum, and the high bit carries to the next column left.
Adding binary numbers is a very simple task, and very similar to the longhand addition of decimal numbers. Unlike decimal addition, there is little to memorize in the way of rules for the addition of binary bits:
0+0= 0 1+0=1 &
0+1=1 1 + 1 + 1 = 11
1 + 1 = 10

A PLA or PAL (programmable array logic) device is like a baby FPGA which can be programmed to perform basic logic functions. Tens to hundreds of gates on a PAL can be connected to perform simple logic functions. A PAL is often read only, in that after programming you have to perform a complete erase to update it. A ROM does not perform logic functions, but stores data. A type of ROM might be EPROM, erasable programmable read only memory. You can use a ROM as a logic device, by implementing a simple logic table lookup. Like a truth table. However, it is somewhat wasteful and expensive to do this compared to actually using a PAL or even a CPLD/FPGA.

As a result, there are three bits to be handled at the input of a full subtractor, namely the two bits to be subtracted and a borrow bit designated as Bin. There are two outputs, namely the DIFFERENCE output D and the BORROW output Bo. The BORROW output bit tells whether the minuend bit needs to borrow a 1 from the next possible higher minuend bit.

Flip-Flops are synchronous bistable devices (has two outputs Q and Q). An edge-triggered Flip-Flop changes state either at the positive edge (rising edge) or at the negative edge (falling edge) of the clock pulse and is sensitive to its inputs only at this transition of the clock.
