circuits shown in Fig.1(i). (5 marks)
(ii) Find ACL of the amplifier shown in Fig.1(ii) when a) AOL =∞ b) AOL = 106 c) AOL = 102 Comment on your findings. (5 marks)
(iii) Explain (using a circuit diagram) why calculations for the output error voltage caused by input offset voltages are the same for both inverting and non-inverting Op-Amp configurations. (5 marks)
(iv) The Op-Amp shown in Fig.1(iv) has a slew rate (SR) of 0. 5 V / μ s.
maximum ACL that the amplifier can have without exceeding its slew rate. Show the output signal with correct values. (5 marks)
(v) Write a technical note on the AC-Performance of Op-Amps. Your explanation should include the UGB, f (^) c ( OL ), f (^) c ( CL ), and a frequency response curve to demonstrate your understanding. (5 marks)
(vi) Indicate how a simple band-pass filter and a simple band-stop filter may be created using LP and HP filters. (5 marks)
(vii) Design a buck converter to produce an output of 18V across a 10 Ω load when V (^) IN = 48 V. The output ripple must be ≤ 0. 5 %and continuous operation is required (assume f = 40 kHz ). (5 marks)
(viii) A sensor has an output voltage of ± 0. 1 V and this is fed into a single-supply Op-Amp operating off +5V. The output should be centered around 2.5V with a swing ± 1 V. Design such a circuit, assuming ac coupling is not necessary. (5 marks)
(c) Design a 2nd^ order VCVS, low-pass Butterworth filter with a cutoff frequency of 2.5 kHz. The gain in the pass-band should be 2. (State any assumptions.)
[A general configuration for a 2nd^ order HP/LP Butterworth filter is shown in Fig.3(c), as well as Tables]
(8 marks)
The amplifier must be capable of amplifying the following input signals:-
(i) v 1 (^) = 0. 01 sin( 106 t ) (ii) v 2 (^) = 0. 05 sin( 350 x 103 t ) (iii) v 3 (^) = 0. 1 sin( 200 x 103 t ) (iv) v 4 (^) = 0. 2 sin( 50 x 103 t )
Determine whether the output will be distorted due to the SR limitations on any input. If so, find a remedy (other than changing the input signals!).
(20 marks)
(b) An Op-Amp with a UGB = 1MHz is configured as a non-inverting amplifier with a gain of 10 and then as an inverting amplifier with a gain of -10. Find in each case (i) fc ( CL )
Sketch your results on a frequency response plot for non-inverting case.
