Analog Electronics –Assignment 3

Q.1. The circuit of Fig. below uses an op amp that is ideal except for having a finite gain A.
Measurements indicate vO = 4.0 V when vI = 2.0 V. What is the op-amp gain A?

(Ans: 2002V/V)

Q.2. Assuming ideal op amps, find the voltage gain vo ⁄ vi and input resistance Rin of each of
the circuits in figures 2.a to 2.d below:

(c) −10 V/V, 10 kΩ; (d) −10 V/V, 10 kΩ)

Q.3. An op amp with an open-loop gain of 2000 V/V is used in the inverting configuration.

voltage by which the “virtual ground node” departs from its ideal value?
(Ans: ±5 mV)

Q.4. Assuming the op amp to be ideal, it is required to design the circuit shown in Fig. below
to implement a current amplifier with gain iL ⁄ iI = 10 A/A.
(a) Find the required value for R.
(b) What are the input and the output resistance of this current amplifier?
(c) If RL = 1 kΩ and the op amp operates in an ideal manner as long as vO is in the range
•±12 V, what range of iI is possible?
(d) If the amplifier is fed with a current source having a current of 0.2 mA and a source
resistance of 10 kΩ, find iL.

(Ans: (a) 1.11 kΩ; (b) 0 Ω, ∞)

Q.5. A weighted summer circuit using an ideal op amp has three inputs using 100-kΩ
resistors and a feedback resistor of 50 kΩ. A signal v1 is connected to two of the inputs while
a signal v2 is connected to the third. Express vO in terms of v1 and v2. If v1 = 2 V and v2 = –2
V, what is vO?
(Ans: vo = –(v1 + ½ v2); −1 V)

input resistance seen by v1 alone? By v2 alone? By a source connected between the two
input terminals? By a source connected to both input terminals simultaneously?
(Ans: vo = v2 − v1; R; 2R; 2R; R)
