Discussion

DC Bias
Since capacitors are limited and impractical to be used in Integrated Circuits (IC) as
coupling component, differential amplifiers are used instead. Figure 10.1 shows the circuit of
a differential amplifier. Basically, differential amplifier is consists of two NPN BJTs
connected in parallel. The collectors of the BJT are connected to the positive terminal of the
DC source VCC through the resistors RC. The emitters are connected to negative VEE through
resistor RE.

Note:

In our analyses to follow, we assume that the


two BJTs are identical.

This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended
for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION.
Figure 10.1
Differential Amplifier Circuit

source:electronicprinciplesbymalvino&bates

The essence of differential amplifier is that it produces a solid-rock tail current, IT. Thus,
using KVL,

IT = (VEE - VBE) / RE

Note:

If we ignore VBE which is 0.7 for silicon BJT, the


formula becomes
IT = VEE / RE

Since the two BJTs are identical, IE1= IE2 = IE, thus

IE = I T / 2
IC ≈ I E

Example 1
With the circuit below in Figure 10.1A, determine the value of the tail current IT and IE1 and
IE2 using simplified approximation assuming the two BJTs are identical.

IT

Solution:

IT = (12 V – 0.7 V)/ 5 KΩ


IT = 11.3 V / 5 KΩ
IT = 2.26 mA

IE1 = IE2 = 2.26 mA / 2


IE1 = IE2 = 1.13 mA

IE1 = IE2 = IC1 = IC2


IC1 = IC2 = 1.13 mA

VC2 = VCC – IC2 RC


VC2 = 12 V – (1.13 mA) (3 KΩ)
VC2 = 8.61 V

for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION.
AC Input Circuit
Differential amplifier with differential input and differential output is shown in Figure
10.2 a) and differential input and single-ended output in b). In a) it is seen that the input
terminals or the two bases are applied with input signals v1, and v2. The output signal, VO is
taken across the collector terminals c1 and c2.

This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended

In b), the bases are as well as connected to the input signals v1 and v2, however, the output
signal, Vout, is taken between one of the collectors and the ground.

Note:

For differential input and differential output, if


the input signals are identical, then the output
voltage vout is zero.

Non-inverting Input
Considering, single-ended input, thus the other terminal is fed with input signal, the
other is grounded and a single-ended output, non-inverting input, let us analyze the circuit as
shown in Figure 10.3. If a positive signal, is applied to the base of Q1, (the BJT in the left),
base current IB1 is produced. Since collector current IC1 is dependent upon the base current,
IC1 is equal to
IC1 = β1IB1

and

IE1 = IE2 = ≈ IC1 ≈ IC2

Since the two BJTs are in parallel, therefore,

IT = IC1+IC2

Figure 10.3
Single-Ended Input, Single-Ended Output with a Non-inverting Input

source:electronicprinciplesbymalvino&bates

This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended
for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION.
If IB1 increases, IC1 increases as well. Since IT is constant, IC2 decreases. If IB1 decreases, IC1
decreases as well, but IC2 increases.

IT = IC1 + IC2

From the circuit, using KVL, we have

vout = VCC –RC IC2

From the formula of the output voltage, vout, it is seen that decrease in IC2 leads to the
increase in vout. Oppositely, the decrease in current, IC2, will result to decrease in vout As a
whole, if the input signal, v1, changes, this is what happens as summarized in Table 10.1:

Table 10.1
Summary of the Changes in Values for Variation v1 Values

v1 increases decreases

IB1 increases decreases

IC1 increases decreases

IC2 decreases increases

vout increases decreases

From the table it is seen that, if the input signal v1, increases, the output voltage vout also
increases. And if the input signal decreases in value, same goes to the value of the output
signal. Therefore, we can say that v1 and vout are directly related, or in terms of phase, the
output voltage, vout is in phase with the input signal v1. So we say, that the input terminal is a
non-inverting input terminal.

Referring to the circuit in Figure 10.3, its AC equivalent circuits are shown in Figure 10.4:

This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended
for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION.
Figure 10.4
Equivalent Circuits of Figure 10.3

(a) AC equivalent circuit

(b) AC equivalent circuit with RE removed

source:electronicprinciplesbymalvino&bates

In Figure 10.4a, the emitter resistor, RE is connected in branch parallel to the re’ of Q2. In
most cases RE is greater than re’and therefore its effect can be ignored. Simplifying the ac
equivalent circuit, with RE removed is shown in Figure 10.4b. v1 is connected across the two
re’ in series so its value which is equal to vin is:

vin = ie re’ + ie re’


vin = 2 ie re’

and the output voltage vout is:

vout = icRC

This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended
for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION.
Finally, voltage gain is:
Av = vout / vin
Av = icRC / 2 ie re’

since
ie = ic
then,
Av = icRC / 2 ie re’
Av = RC / 2 re’ - Single-ended output

For the differential output as shown in Figure 10.5, the output voltage, vout is the difference
between the two collector voltages, vc1 and vc2.

Figure 10.5
Equivalent Circuit of Non-inverting Input with Differential Output

source:electronicprinciplesbymalvino&bates

vout = vc2 - vc1


vout = icRC – (-icRC)
vout = 2icRC

recall that vin = 2 ie re’, so, voltage gain is

Av = vout / vin
Av = 2icRC / 2 ie re’
ie = ic

Av = RC / re’ - Differential Output

This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended
for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION.
Inverting Input

We have single-ended input, single-ended output, and inverting input terminal in


Figure 10.6. If a positive signal, is applied to the base of Q2, (the BJT in the right), base
current IB2 is produced. Since collector current IC2 is dependent upon the base current, IC2 is
equal to

IC2 = β2IB2

and
IE2 ≈ IC2 , so,

IT = IC1+IC2

Figure 10.6
Single-Ended Input, Single-Ended Output, Inverting Input

source:electronicprinciplesbymalvino&bates

If IB2 increases, IC2 increases as well. Since IT is constant, IC1 decreases. If IB2 decreases, IC2
decreases as well, but IC1 increases.

IT = IC1 + IC2

From the circuit, using KVL, we have

vout = VCC –RC IC2

It is seen that decrease in IC2 leads to the increase in vout. Moreover, the decrease in current,
IC2, will result to decrease in vout If the input signal, v2, changes, this is what happens as
summarized in Table 10.2:

This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended
for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION.
Table 10.2
Summary of the Changes in Values for Variation v2 Values

V2 increases decreases

IB2 increases decreases

IC2 increases decreases

IC1 decreases increases

vout decreases increases

From the table it is seen that, if the input signal v2, increases, the output voltage vout
decreases. And if the input signal decreases in value, oppositely, the value of the output
signal increases. Therefore, we can say that v2 and vout are inversely related, or in terms of
phase, the output voltage, vout is out of phase with the input signal v2. So we say, that the
input terminal is an inverting input terminal.

As with the voltage gain of inverting input with single ended output, Figure 10.6 is shown:

Single-Ended Input, Single-Ended Output, Inverting Input

source:electronicprinciplesbymalvino&bates

This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended
for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION.
In the figure, the inverting input v2 produces an amplified and inverted ac voltage at vout. The
re’ of each transistor is still part of a voltage divider in the ac-equivalent circuit, thus, the ac
voltage across RE is one-half of the inverting input voltage. Also, if a differential output is
used, the voltage gain will be twice as much also. Table 10.3 summarizes the formulas of
voltage gains with different input/output combinations.

Table 10.3
Summary of Input and Output Combinations and its Corresponding Voltage Gain

Note:

The input impedance, zin is

zin = 2 βre’
since there are two (2) emitter resistances re’ in its ac
equivalent circuit

Given the circuit in Figure 10.6a, what input-output combination is the given circuit and
solve for its voltage gain (assume BJTs are identical).

for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION.
Figure 10.6a
Circuit in Example 3

source:electronicprinciplesbymalvino&bates

Solution:

The given circuit is a non-inverting single-ended input with a differential output

From Table 10.3,

Av = RC / re’

so

re’ = 25 mV / IE

IE1 = IE2 = ≈ IC1 ≈ IC2

IT = IE1+IE2
IT = 2 IE

IT = (VEE - VBE) / RE
IT = (15 – 0.70) / 7.5 KΩ
IT = 1.91 mA

IE = IT / 2

IE = 1.91 mA / 2

IE = 0.96 mA

re’ = 25 mV / IE

re’ = 25 mV / 0.96 mA

This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended
for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION.
re’ = 26.04 Ω

Av = RC / re’

Av = 5 KΩ / 26.04 Ω

Av = 192

Meaning, the output voltage signal is 192 times greater than the input voltage signal, thus, if
V1 = 1 mV, then the output voltage vout = 192 mV.

Common Mode

If the same input signals are applied to the bases of the two transistors, and the
differential amplifier is symmetrical, then the output voltage, vout, is zero since v1 = v2. If the
differential amplifier is not symmetrical, an output voltage, vout, of a small amount will be
generated. Typically, this type of input connection is not used. However, interferences or
unwanted signals are considered common mode signals which can be picked up by the input
terminals. What’s good about differential amplifier is that it gets rid of these signals.

To compute for the common-mode gain, an equivalent circuit is drawn in Figure 10.8:

Figure 10.8

Circuit

source:electronicprinciplesbymalvino&bates

There is no current through the wire between emitters since the two input voltages are equal.
In effect, we can just remove the connecting wire which leads to a simplified circuit in Figure
10.9

This module is a property of Technological University of the Philippines Visayas and intended
for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY and is NOT FOR SALE NOR FOR REPRODUCTION.
And the common-mode voltage gain, Av(CM) is:

Av(CM) = RC/ 2RE

Note:
The value of Av(CM) is less than 1, therefore, electromagnetic
interferences are not amplified.

The common-mode rejection ratio, CMRR is the voltage gain divided by common-mode
voltage gain:

CMRR = Av / Av(CM)

It can be expressed in logarithmic value:

CMRRdB = 20 log CMRR

Example 4

If the voltage gain of a differential amplifier is 150 and common-mode voltage gain is 0.75,
determine the value of common-mode rejection ratio and its logarithmic value.

Solution:

CMRR = Av / Av(CM)

CMRR = 150 / 0.75

CMRR = 200

CMRRdB = 20 log CMRR

CMRRdB = 20 log 200

CMRRdB = 46 dB

Discussion

Introduction
Operational amplifier, commonly known as op-amp, as shown in Figure 11.1.
Basically, it has five (5) main terminals. It has two inputs with + and – symbols. It has
differential input: the non-inverting and inverting inputs. It has a single-ended output. It has
two supply terminals, +VCC and -VEE. Since its input stage is the differential amplifier, this
determines the input characteristics of the op-amp.

Theory of Operation

An ideal operational amplifier has an infinite voltage gain and input impedance.
Oppositely, it has zero output impedance. It acts as a perfect voltage amplifier referred to as
voltage-controlled voltage source (VCVS). Figure 11.2 shows the equivalent circuit of op -
amp: a) practical and b) ideal. In a) an input impedance Ri is seen which is typically equal to
a very high value. At the output side, output voltage is given to be the product of op-amp’s
gain and input signal through the output impedance Ro that is usually very low in value.

Ideally, we can consider b) with an open circuit at the input for the input impedance, that is
infinite Ri, and a shorted path as replacement for the output impedance, Ro, which is ideally
zero.

Configurations

Inverting Operational Amplifier


In Figure 11.3, the basic circuit connection of an inverting amplifier is shown. The
input signal, Vi, is applied to the inverting input terminal through R1 producing an amplified,
but, of 180° out of phase output voltage, VO. The non-inverting terminal is grounded. A
resistor Rf is connected between the input terminal and output terminal. This Rf acts as
feedback resistor, thus, infinite open-loop gain can be ignored and closed-loop gain can be
considered instead. Almost all operational amplifier configurations are with feedback resistor
to make the circuit stable.

Note:

Feedback is path that connects the output to the input.


This is obtained by connected a component between
the two terminals.

Figure 11. 4 shows the equivalent circuit of an inverting operational amplifier. The negative
in product of AV and Vi indicates the 180° phase shift. We will use superposition in our
analysis to follow.

Note:
Superposition theorem states that “The current

bilateral network equal to the algebraic sum of
currents or voltages produced independently by each
source.”

Using the ideal equivalent circuit of the inverting op-amp shown in Figure 11.5,
likewise its simplified redrawn circuit in Figure 11.6, We can compute for the gain based on
the given biasing resistors R1 and Rf.

Setting V1 to Zero, Solving for Vi2

Vi2 = –AvVi [ R1 / (R1+Rf) ] – (equation2) -Voltage Divider Formula

For the total voltage Vi, we have:

Vi = Vi1 + Vi2 (adding equation 1 & 2)

Vi = V1 [ Rf / (R1+Rf) ] + {– AvVi [ R1 / (R1+Rf) ]}


Vi + AvVi [ R1 / (R1+Rf) = V1 [ Rf / (R1+Rf) ]

Vi [1+ (Av R1)/ (R1+Rf)] = V1 [ Rf / (R1+Rf) ]


Vi = V1 [ Rf / (R1+Rf) ] / [1+ (Av R1)/ (R1+Rf)]

(R1+Rf) is cancelled out,

Vi = V1 · Rf / [R1 ( Av +1) + Rf]

Since usually Av>>1, and AvR1>>Rf, then,

Vi = V1 · Rf / Av R1
for Inverting Op-Amp,

Av = - VO / Vi

Note:

The indicated negative sign defines the 180° phase shift.

Substituting this to our equation,

Vi = V1 · Rf / Av R1
Vi = V1 · Rf / (- VO / Vi) R1

Vi · (- VO / Vi) = V1 · Rf / R1

Vi is cancelled out, and


- V1 · Rf / R1 = V1 · Rf / R1

and finally, the ratio of the output voltage VO and input voltage V1 (AV) is

VO / V1 = - Rf / R1

Note:

It is shown that the ratio of the resistors Rf and R1 define the


closed loop-voltage gain, (AV)

Non-Inverting Operational Amplifier

Figure 11.10 shows the basic circuit connection of a non-inverting amplifier. The input
signal, Vi, is applied to the non-inverting input terminal producing an amplified and in phase
output voltage, VO. The inverting terminal is grounded. A resistor Rf is connected between the
inverting terminal through R1 and output terminal.

Using KCL at point ‘X’


i2 - i1 = 0

then substituting currents in terms of the ratio or node voltages and resistance

[(VO -Vi)/Rf ] - (Vi - 0)/R1 = 0

Simplifying the equation and have it equated in terms of the closed loop gain A V

(VO -Vi) / Rf = Vi / R1
(VO -Vi) / Vi = Rf / R1
V /Vi – Vi/Vi = Rf / R1

V /Vi – 1 = Rf / R1

Since Vi = V1

VO/V1 = 1 + (Rf / R1)

Basic Op-Amp Circuit

Other than the two configurations discussed, inverting, and non-inverting, there are
others to be considered in the following discussions. Such include: summing, differencing,
differential, and integrator.

Summing Operational Amplifier

In Figure 11.13, the basic summing operational amplifier circuit is given. Input
signals are connected to the inverting terminal. The non-inverting terminal is grounded. It is
not limited to three input signals only. Thus, the more inputs used, the more additional
components to the output. Input signals are individually added to the output multiplied by
each constant multiplier. If more inputs are used, they each add an additional component to
the output.

MΩ)3V + (2.2 MΩ/ 2.2MΩ)4V]
VO = 17.27 V

Differentiator

Although not often used op-amp, this configuration performs mathematical


differentiation by determining the rate of change of a curve or function. The basic circuit of a
differentiating op-amp is shown in Figure 11.15. It has a feedback resistor Rf, like the
inverting op-amp except for the capacitor C, that connects the input voltage V1(t) and the
inverting input terminal.

Integrator

The integrator, as shown in Figure 11.16, performs mathematical integration.


Specifically, it adds up to get the total area of a function’s curve. As seen in the figure, its
circuit is the same for the differentiator except that resistors and capacitors are interchanged.
The feedback component of an integrator is a capacitor C, and a resistor R1 connects the
inverting terminal to the input voltage v1(t). The capacitor forms RC circuit.

Note:
Recall that the capacitor voltage in a simple RC
circuit with a constant input voltage is not linear but is
exponential.
