Inverting OP Amp

1. Construct the inverting amplifier according to the wiring diagram below.

TF EIM Lab23.png

Here is the data sheet for the 741 Op Amp

File:LM741CN OpAmp.pdf


Use [math]R_1 = 1k\Omega[/math] and [math]R_2 = 10 k\Omega[/math] as starting values.

2. Insert a 0.1 [math]\mu[/math]F capacitor between ground and both Op Amp power supply input pins. The Power supply connections for the Op amp are not shown in the above circuit diagram, check the data sheet.

Gain measurements

1.) Measure the gain as a function of frequency between 100 Hz and 2 MHz for three values of [math]R_2[/math] = 10 k[math]\Omega[/math], 100 k[math]\Omega[/math], 1M[math]\Omega[/math]. Keep [math]R_1[/math] at [math]1k\Omega[/math].


I have used the following values of [math]R_1[/math] and [math]R_2[/math] (as was suggested by Dr Forrest at the lecture)

[math]R_1 = (10.02 \pm 0.02)\ k\Omega[/math]
a) [math]R_2 = (99.0 \pm 0.2)\ k\Omega[/math]
b) [math]R_2 = (198.5 \pm 0.2)\ k\Omega[/math]
c) [math]R_2 = (800.0 \pm 2.0)\ k\Omega[/math]

So my theoretical gain of OP Amp would be:

a) Gain1[math]= \frac{R_2}{R_1} = \frac{99.0 \pm 0.2}{10.02 \pm 0.02} = (9.88 \pm 0.03)[/math]
b) Gain2[math]= \frac{R_2}{R_1} = \frac{198.5 \pm 0.2}{10.02 \pm 0.02} = (19.81 \pm 0.04)[/math]
c) Gain3[math]= \frac{R_2}{R_1} = \frac{800.0 \pm 2.0}{10.02 \pm 0.02} = (79.84 \pm 0.26)[/math]


Below is my measurements and gain calculation for the case a) [math]R_1 = (10.02 \pm 0.02)\ k\Omega[/math] and [math]R_2 = (99.0 \pm 0.2)\ k\Omega[/math]

Gain t01.png

Below is my measurements and gain calculation for the case b) [math]R_1 = (10.02 \pm 0.02)\ k\Omega[/math] and [math]R_2 = (198.5 \pm 0.2)\ k\Omega[/math]

Gain t02.png


Below is my measurements and gain calculation for the case c) [math]R_1 = (10.02 \pm 0.02)\ k\Omega[/math] and [math]R_2 = (800.0 \pm 2.0)\ k\Omega[/math]

Gain t03.png


2.) Graph the above measurements with the Gain in units of decibels (dB) and with a logarithmic scale for the frequency axis.


Below my plot of gain as function of frequency. Here

[math]G_{dB} \left(\frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}}\right) = 20\cdot \log_{10} {\frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}}}[/math]

Here the error calculation as usual and for this specific case is:

[math]dG_{dB}(x) = \frac{\partial G_{dB}(x)}{\partial x}\cdot dx = \frac{20}{x\ \ln 10}\cdot dx[/math]

where [math]x[/math] and [math]dx[/math] are corresponding gain and error of gain from the tables above

Impedance

Input Impedance

  1. Measure [math]R_{in}[/math] for the 10 fold and 100 fold amplifier at ~100 Hz and 10 kHz frequency.


I am going to measure the input and output impedance of my amplifier using the following equivalent circuit:

Draw01.png

where the shaded region is my actual amplifier constructed before:

Draw02.png

From equivalent circuit the input impedance is:

[math]R_{inp} = \frac{V_{inp}}{I_{inp}}[/math]

and from my real circuit inside the shaded region:

[math]I_{inp} = \frac{V_{inp}-V_1}{R_1}[/math]

so finally my input impedance becomes:

[math]R_{inp} = \frac{V_{inp}}{V_{inp}-V_1}\ R_1[/math]


Below is the table with my measurements and input impedance calculations for four asked different cases. Here I have used the meter instead of oscilloscope to reduce the error in my measurements of input voltage.

T rinp01.png


As we can see the input impedance equals the resistor value [math]R_1[/math] for low frequency [math]f=100\ Hz[/math] and increase up to [math]33\ k\Omega[/math] for high frequency [math]f=10\ kHz[/math].

Output Impedance

  1. Measure [math]R_{out}[/math] for the 10 fold and 100 fold amplifier at ~100 Hz and 10 kHz frequency. Be sure to keep the output ([math]V_{out}[/math]) undistorted


Again the equivalent circuit I am going to use is:

Draw011.png

And my output impedance is:

[math]V_{out} = V - I_{out}\cdot R_{out}[/math]

But now I am going to use the load resistor [math]R_L[/math] to measure the output circuit:

[math]I_{out} = \frac{V_{out}}{R_L}[/math]

By graphing the current on the x-axis and the measured voltage [math]V_{out}[/math] on the y-axis for several values of the load resistance [math]R_L[/math] we can find the output internal impedance of our amplifier as the slope of the line [math]V_{out}=V_A - I_{out}\cdot R_{out}[/math]


Below are my measurements and current calculation for different cases. Here I have used the meter instead of oscilloscope to reduce the error in my measurements of output voltage.

T rout01.png


Below are the plots of the [math]V_{out}[/math] as function of [math]I_{out}[/math]


P rout 01.png P rout 03.png

P rout 01.png P rout 04.png


As it follows from the plots above the output impedance (the slope of the line) are:

1) 10 fold amplifier at ~100 Hz frequency: [math]R_{out} = (8.68\cdot 10^{-11} \pm 112.3)\ \Omega[/math]
2) 10 fold amplifier at ~10 kHz frequency: [math]R_{out} = (6.70\cdot 10^{-11} \pm 120.4)\ \Omega[/math]
3) 80 fold amplifier at ~100 Hz frequency: [math]R_{out} = (-1.65\cdot 10^{-11} \pm 136.7)\ \Omega[/math]
3) 80 fold amplifier at ~10 kHz frequency: [math]R_{out} = (8.35\cdot 10^{-11} \pm 218.8)\ \Omega[/math]

As we can see the output impedance is essentially the zero. Unfortunately the calculated error is up to [math]220.\ \Omega[/math]. To get the better results I need dramatically improve my measurements, and particularly, improve the measured error in [math]V_{out}[/math]

[math]V_{io}[/math] and [math]I_{B}[/math]

[math]V_{out}= -\frac{R_1}{R_2} V_1 + \left ( 1 + \frac{R_1}{R_2}\right)V_{io} + R_2 I_B[/math] (need to be checked)


[math]V_{out}= -\frac{R_2}{R_1} V_{in} + \left ( 1 + \frac{R_2}{R_1}\right)V_{io} + R_2 I_B[/math] (I have derived)

Use the above equation and two measurements of [math]V_{out}[/math], [math]R_1[/math], and [math]R_2[/math] to extract [math]V_{io}[/math] and [math]I_B[/math]. I will use two different values of [math]R_2[/math] to make two different measurements. [math] V_{in}[/math]=0 (grounded).


Below are my measurements:

1) [math]f=1\ kHz[/math] [math]R_1 = (10.02 \pm 0.02)\ k\Omega[/math], [math]R_2 = (99.0 \pm 0.2)\ k\Omega[/math]:  [math]V_{in}=(0 \pm 2)\ mV[/math] [math]V_{out}=(8 \pm 1)\ mV[/math]
2) [math]f=1\ kHz[/math] [math]R_1 = (10.02 \pm 0.02)\ k\Omega[/math], [math]R_2 = (800.0 \pm 2.0)\ k\Omega[/math]:  [math]V_{in}=(0 \pm 2)\ mV[/math] [math]V_{out}=(60 \pm 2)\ mV[/math]


Now I can construct 2 equations with 2 unknowns [math]V_{io}[/math] and [math]I_B[/math].

[math] (1 + (99.0 \pm 0.02)/(10.02 \pm 0.02))\cdot V_{io} + (99.0 \pm 0.2)\ k\Omega \cdot I_B = (8 \pm 1)\ mV[/math]
[math] (1 + (800.0 \pm 2.0)/(10.02 \pm 0.02))\cdot V_{io} + (800.0 \pm 2.0)\ k\Omega \cdot I_B = (60 \pm 2)\ mV[/math]

or

[math] (10.88 \pm 0.03)\cdot V_{io} + (99.0 \pm 0.2)\cdot 10^3\ I_B = (8 \pm 1)\cdot 10^{-3}[/math]
[math] (80.84 \pm 0.25)\cdot V_{io} + (800.0 \pm 2.0)\cdot 10^3\ I_B =(60 \pm 2)\cdot 10^{-3}[/math]

with [math]V_{io}[/math] given in Volts and [math]I_B[/math] given in Ampere.


To solve these equations I can use the matrix method. Let's do it in general to be able to handle the error propagation.

We have:

[math]\left( \begin{array}{cc} a_1 & b_1\\ a_2 & b_2 \end{array} \right)\left( \begin{array}{c} V_{io} \\ I_B \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array}{c} c_1 \\ c_2 \end{array} \right)[/math]

and the two solutions are:

[math]V_{io} = \frac{\left| \begin{array}{cc} c_1 & b_1\\c_2 & b_2 \end{array} \right| }{\left| \begin{array}{cc} a_1 & b_1\\a_2 & b_2 \end{array} \right| } = \frac{c_1b_2-c_2b_1}{a_1b_2-a_2b_1}\ \ [/math]: [math]I_B = \frac{\left| \begin{array}{cc} a_1 & c_1\\a_2 & c_2 \end{array} \right| }{\left| \begin{array}{cc} a_1 & b_1\\a_2 & b_2 \end{array} \right| } = \frac{a_1c_2-a_2c_1}{a_1b_2-a_2b_1}[/math]


Substituting the corresponding coefficients in general solutions

[math]V_{io} = \frac{c_1b_2-c_2b_1}{a_1b_2-a_2b_1} = \frac{(8 \pm 1)\cdot 10^{-3}\cdot (800.0 \pm 2.0)\cdot 10^3 - (60 \pm 2)\cdot 10^{-3}\cdot (99.0 \pm 0.2)\cdot 10^3}{(10.88 \pm 0.03)\cdot (800.0 \pm 2.0)\cdot 10^3 - (80.84 \pm 0.25)\cdot (99.0 \pm 0.2)\cdot 10^3}[/math]
[math]I_B = \frac{a_1c_2-a_2c_1}{a_1b_2-a_2b_1} = \frac{(10.88 \pm 0.03)\cdot (60 \pm 2)\cdot 10^{-3} - (80.84 \pm 0.25)\cdot (8 \pm 1)\cdot 10^{-3}}{(10.88 \pm 0.03)\cdot (800.0 \pm 2.0)\cdot 10^3 - (80.84 \pm 0.25)\cdot (99.0 \pm 0.2)\cdot 10^3}[/math]

and by doing math and handling the error propagation we find:

[math]V_{io} = (0.66 \pm 1.18)\ mV [/math]
[math]I_B = (8.67 \pm 119.50)\ nA [/math]


From results above we see that we have the reasonable small values for [math]V_{io}[/math] and [math]I_B[/math] but my error is too large to believe in results. The main source of error is when we are doing the difference operation in the formulas above (the results are small quantities which is less then total error). We need some special techniques to be able to measure this small quantities or we need some spacial instrumentations to be able to decrease the experimental error dramatically.

[math]I_{io}[/math]

Now we will put in a pull up resistor [math]R_3= \frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1+R_2}[/math] as shown below.

TF EIM Lab23a.png

Instead of the current [math]I_B[/math] we have the current [math]I_{io}[/math]

[math]V_{out}= -\frac{R_1}{R_2} V_1 + \left ( 1 + \frac{R_1}{R_2}\right)V_{io} + R_2 I_{io}[/math] (to be checked)
[math]V_{out}= -\frac{R_2}{R_1} V_{in} + \left ( 1 + \frac{R_2}{R_1}\right)V_{io} + R_2 I_{io}[/math] (I have derived)


Use the same technique and resistors from the previous section to construct 2 equations and 2 unknowns and extract [math]I_{io}[/math], keep [math]V_{in}[/math]=0.

Below are my measurements:

1) [math]f=1\ kHz[/math] [math]R_1 = (10.02 \pm 0.02)\ k\Omega[/math], [math]R_2 = (99.0 \pm 0.2)\ k\Omega[/math]:  [math]V_{in}=(0 \pm 2)\ mV[/math] [math]V_{out}=( \pm 1)\ mV[/math]
2) [math]f=1\ kHz[/math] [math]R_1 = (10.02 \pm 0.02)\ k\Omega[/math], [math]R_2 = (800.0 \pm 2.0)\ k\Omega[/math]:  [math]V_{in}=(0 \pm 2)\ mV[/math] [math]V_{out}=( \pm 2)\ mV[/math]

and to equations becomes:

[math] (10.88 \pm 0.03)\cdot V_{io} + (99.0 \pm 0.2)\cdot 10^3\ I_{io} = ( \pm 1)\cdot 10^{-3}[/math]
[math] (80.84 \pm 0.25)\cdot V_{io} + (800.0 \pm 2.0)\cdot 10^3\ I_{io} =( \pm 2)\cdot 10^{-3}[/math]

with [math]V_{io}[/math] given in Volts and [math]I_B[/math] given in Amperes.


The two solutions are:

[math]V_{io} = \frac{c_1b_2-c_2b_1}{a_1b_2-a_2b_1} = [/math]
[math]I_B = \frac{a_1c_2-a_2c_1}{a_1b_2-a_2b_1} = [/math]

and by doing math and handling the error propagation we find:

[math]V_{io} = \ mV [/math]
[math]I_{io} = \ nA [/math]
