Occasionally it is rawn with the non-vertg put on top when it makes the schematic easier to rea. The position o the puts may vary with the same schematic, so always look closely at the schematic! ) Negative Feeback. Most o the basic op amp builg blocks rely on negative eeback. You can easily ientiy the type o eeback use by the op amp circuit. For negative eeback, the put is connecte to the vertg put ( put). For positive eeback, the put is connecte to the non-vertg put ( put). The nput mpeance o the ircuit is ee as the rate o change o with respect to a change o. This is simply the erivative. The put impeance o the circuit is not general the same as the impeance o the op amps puts. The Output mpeance o the ircuit, or the examples shown here, is the put impeance o the op amp. Output impeance is ee as the rate o change o with respect to a change o. This is simply the erivative. For the ieal op amp, the put impeance is zero.

Phys303 L.. Bumm [ver.] Op mps (p3) The General Op mp ircuit Example: an op amp circuit with 3 vertg an 3 non-vertg puts What can we say ab such a complicate lookg ampliier? Don t panic, we can use what we have learne rom the above analyses to palessly arrive at the solution. With og any analysis, what can we say? First, we know that 3 the ga o the nth put : 3 n 4 4 Secon, we know that the voltage gas or,, an 3 will be vertg (negative) an that the voltage gas or 4, 5, an 6 will be non-vertg (positive). We coul simply blaze away at the problem by applyg the op amp golen rules just like we i or the erivations or the basic op amp builg blocks, but there is a better way. The Strategy. We will make use o the results or the basic op amp builg blocks an the prciple o superposition (e.g. the vertg ampliier an the non-vertg ampliier). To apply the prciple o super position, we analyze the ga or one put at a time an turn o all the other puts (set them to zero). We treat each put as an ieal voltage source, so that an put that is turne o is equivalent to a connectg the put termal irectly to groun. The vertg puts an the non-vertg puts will behave ierently. nalysis o the nvertg nputs by Superposition Let s irst use analyze the voltage ga o the put. We procee by connectg all the other puts to groun. (nalysis o the voltage ga or the other vertg puts (v an v 3 ) is analogous.) n 5 5 6 6
Phys303 L.. Bumm [ver.] Op mps (p4) This simpliies to: Notice that the non-vertg put, is connecte to groun though a resistor. Because no current lows to the op amp s puts, 0, equivalent to it beg connecte irectly to groun (see below). This looks like a summg ampliier with 3 0. The result or the summg 7 ampliier is. We can o the same analysis or each vertg put. (Why

Ht: onsier the voltage across these two resistors.) nalysis o the Non-nvertg nputs by Superposition Now let s use analyze the voltage ga 4 o the non-vertg put 4. We procee by connectg all the other puts to groun. (nalysis o the voltage ga or the other nonvertg puts (v 5 an v 6 ) is analogous.) This simpliies to: This is a non-vertg ampliier. The resistors on the non-vertg sie, 4, 5, 6, an 8, orm a voltage ivier that reuces the voltage seen by. t is the voltage at that is seen by the op amp. The voltage ga o is eterme by the resistors on the vertg sie,,, 3, an 7. Hence the voltage ga 4 o the 4 put has a term rom the voltage ivier, relatg 4 to, an a term or the voltage ga o, relatg to. The voltage ga 4 is the prouct o the two term an relates 4 to. 5 6 7 4 4 5 6 7 7 3
Phys303 L.. Bumm [ver.] Op mps (p6) The voltage gas or the other non-vertg puts can be oun this way. n important observation is that multiple puts to the non-vertg sie o the op amp o not sum the simple way that they o or vertg puts. Thus the summg ampliier that we liste as a basic builg block oes not have a non-vertg analog! ( we nee a non-verte sum, we just ollow the summg ampliier with a unity ga vertg ampliier.)
