Opera onal Amplifier and Applica ons
Exe1. The internal circuit of a par cular op amp can be modeled by the circuit shown in Fig1.1. Express v3
as a func on of v1 and v2. For the case Gm = 20 mA/V, R = 5,6 kΩ, and μ = 100, find the value of the
open-loop gain A.

Exe2. For the circuit in Fig 1.2 find the values of iI, v1, i1, i2, vO, iL, and iO. Also find the voltage gain vO/vI,
the current gain iL/iI, and the power gain PL/PI.

Exe3. Consider the difference-amplifier circuit of Fig. 1.3 for the case R1 = R3 = 2 kΩ and R2 = R4 =200 kΩ.
(a) Find the value of the differen al gain Ad. (b) Find the value of the differen al input resistance Rid and
the output resistance Ro. (c) If the resistors have 1% tolerance (i.e., each can be within ±1% of its nominal
value), use Eq. (2.19) to find the worst-case common-mode gain Acm and hence the corresponding value
of CMRR.

Exe6. Find the output produced by a Miller integrator (Fig 1.6.a) in response to an input pulse of 1-V height
and 1-ms width (Fig 1.6.b). Let R = 10 kΩ and C = 10 nF. If the integrator capacitor is shunted by a 1-MΩ
resistor, how will the response be modified? The op amp is specified to saturate at ±12 V.

Exe7. Consider the noninver ng amplifier circuit shown in Fig 1.7. As shown, the circuit is designed for a
nominal gain It is fed with a low-frequency sine-wave signal of peak voltage Vp and is connected to a load
resistor RL. The op amp is specified to have output satura on voltages of ±12 V and output current limits
of ±20 mA.
(a) For Vp = 1 V and RL = 1 kΩ, specify the signal resul ng at the output of the amplifier.
(b) For Vp = 1.5 V and RL = 1 kΩ, specify the signal resul ng at the output of the amplifier.
(c) For RL = 1 kΩ, what is the maximum value of Vp for which an undistorted sine-wave output is
obtained?
(d) For Vp = 1 V, what is the lowest value of RL for which an undistorted sine-wave output is
obtained?
