TheOperationalAmplifier
Oneproblemwithelectronicdevicescorrespondingtothegeneralizedamplifiersisthatthegains,AuorA~,dependuponinternalpropertiesofthetwo-portsystem(p,fl,R~,Ro,etc.)?
~Thismakesdesigndifficultsincetheseparametersusuallyvaryfromdevicetodevice,aswellaswithtemperature.Theoperationalamplifier,orOp-Amp,isdesignedtominimizethisdependenceandtomaximizetheeaseofdesign.AnOp-Ampisanintegratedcircuitthathasmanycomponentpartsuchasresistorsandtransistorsbuiltintothedevice.Atthispointwewillmakenoattempttodescribetheseinnerworkings.
AtotallygeneralanalysisoftheOp-Ampisbeyondthescopeofsometexts.Wewillinsteadstudyoneexampleindetail,thenpresentthetwoOp-Amplawsandshowhowtheycanbeusedforanalysisinmanypracticalcircuitapplications.Thesetwoprinciplesallowonetodesignmanycircuitswithoutadetailedunderstandingofthedevicephysics.Hence,Op-Ampsarequiteusefulforresearchersinavarietyoftechnicalfieldswhoneedtobuildsimpleamplifiersbutdonotwanttodesignatthetransistorlevel.InthetextsofelectricalcircuitsandelectronicstheywillalsoshowhowtobuildsimplefiltercircuitsusingOp-Amps.Thetransistoramplifiers,whicharethebuildingblocksfromwhichOp-Ampintegratedcircuitsareconstructed,willbediscussed.

Uo=A(U+-U-)(1-2A-l)
whereAisthegainoftheOp-AmpandU+andU-thevoltagesatinputs.Inotherwords,theoutputvoltageisAtimesthedifferenceinpotentialbetweenthetwoinputs.
Integratedcircuittechnologyallowsconstructionofmanyamplifiercircuitsonasinglecomposite"chip"ofsemiconductormaterial.Onekeytothesuccessofanoperationalamplifieristhe"cascading"ofanumberoftransistoramplifierstocreateaverylargetotalgain.Thatis,thenumberAinEq.(1-2A-1)canbeontheorderof100,000ormore.(Forexample,cascadingoffivetransistoramplifiers,eachwithagainof10,wouldyieldthisvalueforA.)Asecondimportantfactoristhatthesecircuitscanbebuiltinsuchawaythatthecurrentflowintoeachoftheinputsisverysmall.Athirdimportantdesignfeatureisthattheoutputresistanceoftheoperationalamplifier(Ro)isverysmall.Thisinturnmeansthattheoutputofthedeviceactslikeanidealvoltagesource.
WenowcananalyzetheparticularamplifiercircuitgiveninFig.1-2A-2usingthesecharacteristics.First,wenotethatthevoltageatthepositiveinput,U+,isequaltothesourcevoltage,U+=Us.Variouscurrentsaredefinedinpartbofthefigure.ApplyingKVLaroundtheouterloopinFig.1-2A-2bandrememberingthattheoutputvoltage,Uo,ismeasuredwithrespecttoground,wehave
-I1R1-I2R2+U0=0(1-2A-2)
SincetheOp-Ampisconstructedinsuchawaythatnocurrentflowsintoeitherthepositiveornegativeinput,I-=0.KCLatthenegativeinputterminalthenyields
I1=I2
UsingEq.(1-2A-2)andsettingI1=I2=I,
U0=(R1+R2)I(1-2A-3)
WemayuseOhm'slawtofindthevoltageatthenegativeinput,U-,notingtheassumedcurrentdirectionandthefactthatgroundpotentialiszerovolts:
(U--0)/R1=I
So,U-=IR1
andfromEq.(1-2A-3),U-=[R1/(R1+R2)]U0
SincewenowhaveexpressionsforU+andU-,Eq.(1-2A-l)maybeusedtocalculatetheoutputvoltage,
U0=A(U+-U-)=A[US-R1U0/(R1+R2)]
Gatheringterms,
U0=[1+AR1/(R1+R2)]=AUS(1-2A-4)
andfinally,
AU=U0/US=A(R1+R2)/(R1+R2+AR1)(1-2A-5a)
Thisisthegainfactorforthecircuit.IfAisaverylargenumber,largeenoughthatAR~>>(R1+R2),thedenominatorofthisfractionisdominatedbytheAR~term.ThefactorA,whichisinboththenumeratoranddenominator,thencancelsoutandthegainisgivenbytheexpression
AU=(R1+R2)/R1(1-2A-5b)
ThisshowsthatifAisverylarge,thenthegainofthecircuitisindependentoftheexactvalueofAandcanbecontrolledbythechoiceofR1andR2.ThisisoneofthekeyfeaturesofOp-Ampdesigntheactionofthecircuitonsignalsdependsonlyupontheexternalelementswhichcanbe

AsimilarmathematicalanalysiscanbemadeonanyOp-Ampcircuit,butthisiscumbersomeandtherearesomeveryusefulshortcutsthatinvolveapplicationofthetwolawsofOp-Ampswhichwenowpresent.
1)ThefirstlawstatesthatinnormalOp-Ampcircuitswemayassumethatthevoltagedifferencebetweentheinputterminalsiszero,thatis,
U+=U-
2)ThesecondlawstatesthatinnormalOp-Ampcircuitsbothoftheinputcurrentsmaybeassumedtobezero:
I+=I-=0
ThefirstlawisduetothelargevalueoftheintrinsicgainA.Forexample,iftheoutputofanOp-AmpisIVandA=100000,then(U+-U-)=10-SV.Thisissuchasmallnumberthatitcanoftenbeignored,andwesetU+=U-.ThesecondlawcomesfromtheconstructionofthecircuitryinsidetheOp-Ampwhichissuchthatalmostnocurrentflowsintoeitherofthetwoinputs.

Putverysimplyasemiconductormaterialisonewhichcanbe'doped'toproduceapredominanceofelectronsormobilenegativecharges(N-type);or'holes'orpositivecharges(P-type).AsinglecrystalofgermaniumorsilicontreatedwithbothN-typedopeandP-typedopeformsasemiconductordiode,withtheworkingcharacteristicsdescribed.Transistorsareformedinasimilarwaybutliketwodiodesback-to-backwithacommonmiddlelayerdopedintheoppositewaytothetwoendlayers,thusthemiddlelayerismuchthinnerthanthetwoendlayersorzones.
Twoconfigurationsareobviouslypossible,PNPorNPN(Fig.1-2B-l).Thesedescriptionsareusedtodescribethetwobasictypesoftransistors.Becauseatransistorcontainselementswithtwodifferentpolarities(i.e.,'P'and'N'zones),itisreferredtoasabipolardevice,orbipolartransistor.
Atransistorthushasthreeelementswiththreeleadsconnectingtotheseelements.Tooperateinaworkingcircuititisconnectedwithtwoexternalvoltageorpolarities.Oneexternalvoltageisworkingeffectivelyasadiode.Atransistorwill,infact,workasadiodebyusingjustthisconnectionandforgettingaboutthetophalf.Anexampleisthesubstitutionofatransistorforadiodeasthedetectorinasimpleradio.Itwillworkjustaswellasadiodeasitisworkingasadiodeinthiscase.
Thediodecircuitcanbegivenforwardorreversebias.Connectedwithforwardbias,asinFig.l-2B-2,drawnforaPNPtransistor,currentwillflowfromPtothebottomN.Ifasecondvoltageisappliedtothetopandbottomsectionsofthetransistor,withthesamepolarityappliedtothebottom,theelectronsalreadyflowingthroughthebottomNsectionwillpromotea
flowofcurrentthroughthetransistorbottom-to-top.
Bycontrollingthedegreeofdopinginthedifferentlayersofthetransistorduringmanufacture,thisabilitytoconductcurrentthroughthesecondcircuitthrougharesistorcanbeverymarked.Effectively,whenthebottomhalfisforwardbiased,thebottomsectionactsasageneroussourceoffreeelectrons(andbecauseitemitselectronsitiscalledtheemitter).Thesearecollectedreadilybythetophalf,whichisconsequentlycalledthecollector,buttheactualamountofcurrentwhichflowsthroughthisparticularcircuitiscontrolledbythebiasappliedatthecenterlayer,whichiscalledthebase.
Effectively,therefore,therearetwoseparate'working'circuitswhenatransistorisworkingwithcorrectlyconnectedpolarities(Fig.1-2B-3).Oneistheloopformedbythebiasvoltagesupplyencompassingtheemitterandbase.Thisiscalledthebasecircuitorinputcircuit.Thesecondisthecircuitformedbythecollectorvoltagesupplyandallthreeelementsofthetransistor.Thisiscalledthecollectorcircuitoroutputcircuit.(Note:
