This month’s concluding episode looks at practical ways of using such op-amps in various instrumentation and test-gear applications, including those of precision rectifiers, AC/DC converters, electronic analog meter drivers, and variable voltage-reference and …

To get the proper output for both positive and negative inputs, you need a full wave precision rectifier. Here is a workable schematic: You don't need R4 and the resistor values can be increased for relatively low frequency. This particular uses an OPA2211 but other op-amp types can be substituted.

Op-amps provide a very easy way to implement very effective filters. There are several types of filters, with hybrid variations as well. Low-pass filters allow low frequency signals to pass through, from DC up to the cutoff frequency, while attenuating high frequencies.

Operational Amplifiers on their own have a very high open loop DC gain and by applying some form of Negative Feedback we can produce an operational amplifier circuit that has a very precise gain characteristic that is dependant only on the feedback used.

The main purpose of op amps is to condition the analog signals before the acquisition (and further digital processing) in a microcontroller or to provide the necessary output drive in control applications.

In order to get good amplication effect, it is necessary to design the circuit of the amplifier. This paper will introduce 20 opamp formulas as a design reference. In almost cases today, op amps are configured in different ways using a feedback network to “calculate” the input signal. There are 20 formulas used to calculate. Figure 1.

Using an Ideal Op-Amp Let’s see how we can use negative feedback to make a good linear amplifier.5 5 The purpose of this approach is to derive the properties of an op-amp in the presence of negative feedback. Once these properties are derived, we will not use this method for working with actual op-amp circuits.

Op-amps provide new functionality to circuits, introduce dependent sources, and allow modularity and abstraction in our circuit designs and diagrams. Op-amps enable us to sample a voltage from a particular subsection of a circuit without disrupting the properties of the circuit in that subsection.

We are studying op-amps because they are a very important circuit element, as well as because they will allow us to explore a sequence of models of how they work.
