V0
• Circuit model gives the essential linear part
• The gain may be 100 to 100,000 or more
• But V0 cannot rise above some physical voltage V0 < V+RAIL
• And V0 cannot go below the lower “rail”
V0 > V-RAIL
• CMOS based amplifiers can often go all the way to their
power supplies, perhaps ± 5 volts

• We can make very high gain amplifiers by cascading lower
gain amplifiers.
• For example, if we have two amplifiers, each with a gain of
100, then when the output of the first is feed into the input
of the second, the total gain is 10,000.
• With a very high gain amplifier, a very small change in the
input causes a large change in the output voltage, so the
range of voltages over which the input results in a linear
output is very narrow.

OP-AMPS AND COMPARATORS
A very high-gain differential amplifier can function either in extremely
linear fashion as an operational amplifier (by using negative feedback)
or as a very nonlinear device – a comparator.

EXAMPLE OF A HIGH-GAIN DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER
OPERATING IN COMPARATOR (A/D) MODE
Simple comparator with threshold at 1V. Design lower rail at 0V and
upper rail at 2V (logic “1”). A = large (e.g. 102 to105 )

NOTE: The actual diagram of a comparator would not show an
amplifier with “offset” power supply as above. It would be a simple
triangle, perhaps with the threshold level (here 1V) specified.

Conversion from signals to digital data
Signals are conveyed as voltages, but signal levels must be converted
into digital data. ( 1 bit A/D)

We set comparator threshold at a suitable value (e.g.,
halfway between the logic levels) and comparator output
goes to:
+rail if VIN > VTHRESHOLD and to rail if VIN < VTHRESHOLD.
The rails of the comparator are the logic levels, for
example +rail = “1” or “true” and -rail→”0” or “false”

First of all, notice that if the input resistance of the
amplifier is so large that the current into it is negligible,
then R1 and R2 form a voltage divider to give the input
to the negative terminal

Solving Op-Amp circuits
We can take a very useful short-cut for OPAmp circuits with high gain if we notice
that if the circuit is in the linear range, then
(V+-V-) must be very small, and it goes to
zero as the gain goes to infinity.
The shortcut is just to assume (V+-V-) =0,
and then to check later to make sure that
the amplifier is truly in the linear range.

• Since the positive terminal is grounded, the
negative terminal will be near zero volts
• The input terminal also takes in no current
