gsi op-amp has become an industry standard today. The pin configuration and the complete Duatin-tine package gehematic circuit diagram for 741 is shown in Offset nut NC 4 (a) and (b) respectively. Since this cir. Invert ° cait is quite complex compared to MC1530, only a ¥ the qualitative analysis is taken up. Non-inverting input & output In understanding an op-amp circuit as complex ¥ Offset nul transistors), first we identify the stages ide signal gain. The input stage diff. of transistors Q,—@, and Q, - Q,. Transistors Q,, and Q,; provide the second stay sistors are in cascode (CE-CB) configuration. Two transistors fn fares (@; lene Gr one Nick iain per stage needed to achieve the adequate open-loop gain in a two stage amplifier. The transistors Q;, Q, and Q; form the active load for Q, and Q,. Transistors Q, and Q, also function as a differential amplifier for the external offset nulling signal. The emitter current oftransistors Q, and Q, can be controlled by varying a 10 kQ potentiometer that is externally ‘connected between offset null terminals as shown by dotted line in Fig. 2.34(b). Bias currents the input stage are provided by a complicated arrangement of current mirror pairs. Qyy grates a current in Q,,. This current is reflected over to Qj, (though reduced because of emitter feedback due to R,). This, in turn, generates a series current in Qy which is r across another mirror pair to Q,. The bias current of Q, and Q, is effectively driven the mirror pair Qi. and Q,,. The output of the first diff-amp is taken at the junction of a Ba Ge (point x» Meee 2! asa “oes symmetry amplifier.
