Announcements
• Tuesday’s Lecture next week is cancelled
– October 18th
• Assignment 4 is active, due in my mailbox
by 5pm Friday (October 14th)
• Mid-term Thursday, October 27th
Project Dates
• Project Description - one paragraph, plus circuit diagrams and
web links – email to me by Tuesday Nov 1st
• Guidelines and a few useful links are here:
http://www.physics.udel.edu/~jholder/Phys645/Lab/Projects.ht
m . There are many more sites if you search the web (e.g.
google “hobby electronics”)
• Kits are allowed, but circuits must be assembled on the
prototyping board. $50 maximum budget.
• Once approved, I will need a complete parts list, with digikey
or radioshack catalog part numbers. I will place the orders,
but FINDING THE CORRECT COMPONENTS AND
GETTING THEM IN TIME IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!!!
Note that most basic components (resistors, capacitors etc.)
are available in the lab.
• The project should (ideally) contain both analog and digital
• You should work with your lab partner, but individual reports
are required for the projects.
• The project counts for 20% of your final grade (I grade them)
• I will leave copies of some good past projects in the lab
(please don’t take them away)
Lecture 12 Overview
• Op amp circuits
– amplifiers
– Adding/ Subtracting
– Integrating Circuit
– Differentiating Circuit
– Active Filters
Recap: Opamps
• DC coupled, very high gain, differential amplifier.
• Feed part of the output back into the inverting
input to get stable operation in the linear
amplification region
• Golden rules under negative feedback:
• The voltage at the inputs is the same (v+=v-)
• No current flows into the opamp (i+=i-=0)
Op amp circuit 2: Inverting Amplifier
• Signal and feedback resistor,
connected to inverting (-) input.
• v+=v- connected to ground

Summing Amplifier Applications
• Adds signals from a number of waveforms
• Applications - audio mixer
• http://wiredworld.tripod.com/tronics/mixer.html
• Can use unequal resistors to get a weighted sum
• For example - could make a 4 bit binary - decimal converter
• 4 inputs, each of which is +1V or zero
• Using input resistors of 10k (ones), 5k (twos), 2.5k (fours) and 1.25k (eights)
Op amp circuit 4: A non-inverting amplifier
• Feedback resistor still to inverting input,
but no voltage source on inverting input
(note change of current flow)
• Input voltage to non-inverting input

Useful terms:
• if both inputs change together, this is a common-mode input change
• if they change independently, this is a normal-mode change
• A good differential amp has a high common-mode rejection ratio (CMMR)
Differential Amplifier applications
• Very useful if you have two inputs corrupted with the same noise
• Subtract one from the other to remove noise, remainder is signal
• Many Applications : e.g. an electrocardiagram measures the
potential difference between two points on the body

The AD624AD is an instrumentation amplifier - this is a high gain, dc
coupled differential amplifier with a high input impedance and high CMRR
(the chip actually contains a few opamps)

(1  jRF CF )(1  jRS CS )
Advantages of active filters:
1)no inductors (large, pick-up)
2)buffered (high input impedance, low output impedance)
– so filter performance independent of source and load; can cascade filters
