• i(+), i(-) : Currents into the amplifier on the inverting and noninverting lines
respectively

• +VS , -VS : DC source voltages, usually +15V and –15V
• Ri : The input resistance, ideally infinity
• A : The gain of the amplifier. Ideally very high, in the 1x10 10 range.
• RO: The output resistance, ideally zero
• vO: The output voltage; vO = AOLvid where AOL is the open-loop voltage gain

Input and Output Resistance
Ideally, the input resistance for this configuration is equivalent to R1.
However, the actual value of the input resistance is given by the
following formula:
Rin = R1 + RF
1 + AOL
Ideally, the output resistance is zero, but the formula below gives a
more accurate value:
RoF = Ro
1 + AOL
Solution:
vo = -iFRF = -vinRF/R1 = -(0.6*20,000)/2000 = 12 V

General Equations:

v1 = vin
The transconductance, gm = io/vin = 1/R1
Therefore, iL = i1 = vin/R1 = gmvin
The maximum load resistance is determined by:

_ Solution:
iL = i1 = vin/R1 = 2 / 2000 = 1 mA
Note:
gm = io/vin = 1/R1 = 1 / 2000 = 0.5 mS
• If RL > RL(max) the op amp
will saturate
RL(max) = vo(max)/iL = 10 V / 1 mA
• The output current, iL is
independent of the load = 10 k

Power Bandwidth
The maximum frequency at which a sinusoidal output signal can be
produced without causing distortion in the signal.
The power bandwidth, BWp is determined using the desired
output signal amplitude and the the slew rate (see next slide)
specifications of the op amp.
BWp = SR
2Vo(max)
SR = 2fVo(max) where SR is the slew rate
Example:
Given: Vo(max) = 12 V and SR = 500 kV/s
Find: BWp
Solution: BWp = 500 kV/s = 6.63 kHz

Slew Rate
A limitation of the maximum possible rate of change of the
output of an operational amplifier.
As seen on the previous slide, This is derived from:
SR = 2fVo(max) SR = vo/tmax
f is the
frequency in
Hz Slew Rate is independent of the
closed-loop gain of the op amp.
Example:
Given: SR = 500 kV/s and vo = 12 V (Vo(max) = 12V)
Find: The t and f.
Solution: t = vo / SR = (10 V) / (5x105 V/s) = 2x10-5 s
f = SR / 2Vo(max) = (5x105 V/s) / (2 * 12) = 6,630 Hz
