1. Consider the inverting configuration with R1 = 1 kΩ and R2 = 100 kΩ.
(a) Find the closed-loop gain for the cases A = 103 , 104 , and 105 . In each case determine the
percentage error in the magnitude of G relative to the ideal value of R2 /R1 (obtained with A = ∞).
Also determine the voltage v1 that appears at the inverting input terminal when v1 = 0.1 V.
(b) If the open-loop gain A changes from 100,000 to 50,000 (i.e., drops by 50%), what is the
corresponding percentage change in the magnitude of the closed-loop gain G?
2. Assuming the op amp to be ideal, derive an expression for the closed-loop gain v0 / v1 of the
circuit shown in Fig. 2.8. Use this circuit to design an inverting amplifier with a gain of 100 and
an input resistance of 1 MΩ. Assume that for practical reasons it is required not to use resistors
greater than 1 MΩ. Compare your design with that based on the inverting configuration of Fig.
2.5.
3. Use the idea presented in Fig. 2.11 to design a weighted summer that provides
v0 = 2v1 + v2 – 4v3
4. Assuming ideal op amps, find the voltage gain v0 /vi. and input resistance Rin of each of the
circuits in Fig. P2.8.
5. Using an ideal op amp, what are the values of the resistors R1 and R2 to be used to design
amplifiers with the closed-loop gains listed below? In your designs, use at least one 10-kΩ
resistor and another equal or larger resistor.
(a) - 1 V/V
(b) - 2 V/V
(c) -0.5 V/V
(d) -100 V/V
6. Figure P2.43 shows a circuit for a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The circuit accepts a 4-bit
input binary word a3a2a1a0 , where a0 , a1, a2 and a3 take the values of 0 or 1, and it provides an
analog output voltage v0 proportional to the value of the digital input. Each of the bits of the
input word controls the correspondingly numbered switch. For instance, if a2 is 0 then switch S2
connects the 20-kΩ resistor to ground, while if a2 is 1 then S2 connects the 20-kΩ resistor to the
+5-V power supply. Show that v0 is given by
v0 = -Rf/16[20a0+21a1+22a2+23a3]
where Rf is in kΩ. Find the value of Rf so that v0 ranges from 0 to -1 2 volts.
7. Derive an expression for the voltage gain, v0 /v1, of the circuit in Fig. P2.49.
